What got you into Japan; anime, yakuza and porn?

I remember the first time I learned that BMW actually means Big Military Wives, and that shit ain't no joke at all. Spending an hour sitting at the Arby's at the local NEX and watching all of the morbidly, grotesquely obese wives and girlfriends stuffing their fucking faces is enough to turn you vegan.
I see. Always assumed military guys go to prostitutes because they are single. In fact it’s probably because they are married then

Isn't that why all men seek out the company of prostitutes?

I forgot which Italian writer it was but in a book I read when I was in high school a mama in a local brothel told the main character "you should get married so we would have the chance to see you more often".

That left a lasting impression in my young virgin mind.
 

One of my favorite past clients was a retired USMC sergeant (not sure if he was an E-7 or E-8, we just called him "Sarge") but whatever his rank was, in his last years with the Corps he was put in charge of processing disciplinary reports and spent a number of those years in Okinawa. As he explained it to me, on Monday morning he would arrive at his office and on his desk would be the reports of every fucked up thing some enlisted Marine got up to over the weekend, and a lot of it was absolutely horrific (enough to convince him it was time to retire, anyhow). And so according to him, he basically encouraged all the young, dumb enlisted boys to go out and hit the red light districts because that exponentially decreased the chance that he would see reports on his desk of some 19yo grunt raping some kid or old lady at a park. And I loved how he'd summarized his own philosophy of the Corps:

"MARINES, WE ONLY GOOD FOR ONE THING... AND THAT'S KILLING FOLKS. IF THERE AIN'T NO WAR TO FIGHT AND AIN'T NOBODY TO KILL, WE BE DOIN' SOME FUCKED UP SHIT. SO ME? I PRAY FOR WAR."

I often wonder where I'd be today if I'd never attended that NOVA interview, and instead opted to meet with the Air Force recruiter about OTS. Probably be some douchebag, overweight O-5 riding out my last few years at Hickam AFB taking photos and writing press releases and shitty feature stories and ignoring pissed off calls from an irate German woman in Ramstein demanding tuition money for our damaged, dysfunctional mixed-race kids who because of me now hate Americans AND Japanese. I'd be wrapping up my 20 in just over two years, and then I'd spend the rest of my mobile years sitting at a girly bar in the P.I. with a laser pointer in one hand and mug of shit beer in the other. Maybe NOVA did me a favor.

I think you missed your true calling.

Either that or a screenwriter since you can really paint a mental picture for the readers. :cool:

Funny you should mention that. My fifth-grade teacher told me I should pursue a career in screenwriting, as--in her opinion--I would likely fail at anything else in life. It appears she may have been pretty observant. Not sure if that bitch is still alive but if I ever make a porn flick I'll be sure to dedicate it to her.
 
As a kid, I enjoyed watching tokusatsu shows on TV. So, my interest in Japan began early.
 
Back when I was young, I won a place on a 2-week all-expenses paid study tour forYoung Yooropeans run by the Japanese Foreign Ministry and I think it did something strange to my mind and I ended up living here and can't be bothered to move away. Never had any interest in animanga/weeaboo stuff though.

My story is boring: Anime. Tons, and tons of anime.
This transitioned into a passion for the Japanese food, females, fuzoku, and future.

Uhhhhh Nope
 
For me it was anime. The year was 1979 when 'Starblazers' (Uchu Senkan Yamato). Then in the early 80s there was Robotech. From there it was pro wrestling, and then cinema, both of which were hard to come by for a small town kid like me.
 
For me it was the yakuza. I joined the most famous group in late 80's and thought it would be a great career. Got tired of the dumb leadership and dropped out in just a few years.

After that it has been pussy that has kept me here.

On another thought it might have been the university that brought me here, but all other details stay the same.
