With few exceptions, all these are gaijin pages, too. Many
webcomics somehow or other deal with
Japanese popular culture too.Aria in Afterlife would say: “Your Japan links are a tangled mess, boss!” They are. Like so many things on this website, it started out with some Japan-related links I had collected. These links became more and more, and I tried to structure them a bit. I was not too successful. So good luck in finding anything specific, but have fun browsing them at random.
The main problem with collecting material about Japan on the web is that nearly all of it was written by foreigners, usually people from the English-speaking world. These sites are different.
Guides to Japan, or pages by foreigners living in Japan.
Put down that 'Prague on $5 a Day,' you hippie! Justin's Tokyo-On-No-Yen-Just-Confused-Smiles will have you flirting, reeling with liquor and dressed up like an extra from a bootleg high-school production of Neuromancer as you chow down on a hearty breakfast of vending-machine schoolgirl panties. As you lie awake in your coffin hotel, listening to the midnight symphony of salaryman flatulence and drunken good cheer, fire up your DoCoMo handset, aim its flat-panel display at this book and read and you will feel comforted. — Cory Doctorow
The goal of Project LRNJ is to make Japanese accessible to people who enjoy anime or video games, and wouldn't otherwise learn it. […] I'm making a serial RPG that teaches you Japanese. Enough Japanese to use a native dictionary. Once you can do that, I don't think there's any training better than practice through regular use. It will be released in regular chapters like other serial web projects such as web comics, usually each introducing 4-9 new kana or kanji.
Watered-down, understandable, bite-sized grammar helps. Perhaps by knowing these basic Japanese grammar points, you will be able to communicate in Japanese limited only by vocabulary and guts!
It is hard to avoid the clichés about Japan, because both Japanese and foreigners seem to feel most comfortable with them. — Ian Buruma
In Japan we have many stories about God and Goddess. But we forgot them little by little. So, my site treats them mainly.
With few exceptions, all these are gaijin pages, too. Many
webcomics somehow or other deal with
Japanese popular culture too.
It would even be an understatement to call this band legendary. It is safe to declare X Japan has been the most influential band in Japan's history and a major landmark in general music history. No, I am not crazy; they are that big.
