They celebrate fucking christmas

What is their original culture? Anime? Most of the OG anime creators took their inspiration from old Disney shit anyways.

as you means, it is sure we celebrate chiristmas, however it is no religious events based on special intentions like america, but just an amusant party for us.

additonaly saying, on the first days of new year we visit shinto shirine to pray for the luck of new year,
and not so long after that, generally we visit budhism temples to greed our ancestors.

therefore chiristmas actually dosen't matter for our cultures desu.

>>53461260

Not only that but they eat KFC as a Christmas dinner. And they make trap music.

Did you guys learn this at the shinto shrine?

>Is this the only developed country in the world that still retains some of its own, non-Americanized culture?

It's true, basically all of modern Western culture is American.

>>53462026

You have to admit that Australia/Europe are pretty damn Americanized. Hell you are posting on an American messageboard with a meme from an American cartoon.

>>53462101
I never said they weren't. But you have to admit that OP's question was pretty fucking stupid. Memes aside, all countries still hold on to plenty of their own non-Americanized culture. How else do Americans get away with hanging shit on foreign culture? Otherwise you'd just be hanging shit on American culture, wouldn't you?

>>53461222
They're the most Americanized Asian
No, Pinoys aren't Asian

>>53462435
Honkongers, Singaporeans, urban Chinese are so much more westernized in my opinion.
The mindset of Japanese is still very Japanese.

>>53461222

not non-americanized, but one of the less americanized for sure

Japan is America if you mistranslated all the instruction on how to be American.

>>53461222

ultra kek

We are basically Americans, too.

>>53461260

We celebrate Kurisumasu, not Christmas desu.

Halloween's become fucking huge in Japan in last 5years.
Soon, we will celebrate Thanksgiving too.

They are Koreans.

Koreans are more American-like than Japanese.
More than 30% of Koreans are Christians.
Buddhists are 20% or something.

Yeah sure, aside for the fact that both continents literally hate Americans. How delusional do you have to be to think any expression of Western culture is being 'Americanised'?

Thanksgiving isn't something you should import. It's an excuse to pig out loosely based on a trumped up national myth. And if there's one thing you shouldn't copy from us, it's the eating like pigs thing. It's expensive and it's unhealthy.

I think we Europeans are less Americanized than Japs

you should count the numbers of Macdonalds in Japan

Japan is typical americanized country desu.

>>53464155
that proves nothing because having many mcdonalds and retaining its own culture stand at the same time

>>53461222
i wish 4chan wasn't obsessed with them

because of their isolationist policy they're incapable of understanding the wider world and generally have juvenile simplistic opinions.

their internal political problems are also a mystery to everyone else so nobody could begin to give a shit about that either.

maybe 4chan needs to enact a ban on japan, korea and china. they're basically from another planet and aren't worth talking to. even arabs have a better grasp of the wider global picture

>>53464477
Arabs have more direct contact and shared history with European civilization b/c geography. Asians essentially had no contact with the West at all until the 16th century and later.

>>53464477
>even arabs have a better grasp of the wider global picture

Even Indians for that matter.

OP didn't say there is no Americanization at all, just that Japan retains some of its original culture while at the same time being developed.

>>53464477
you're right, the geographical isolation and the language barrier completely shut us out from the global issues.

most Japanese don't know about foreigners even about Koreans. I was unaware of the fact until I went overseas and stayed there while.

However, because of it, we have created unique culture. I cannot say it's good or bad.
