FMguru posted:is there something in japanese pop culture that has created this unusually resonant vision of paris as a magical "city of lights, city of love" that doesnt exist in most other countries? not sure if there's any greater incidence of that in their media than there is anywhere else in the world (hell we have it here in the uk when paris is a train ride away and we all hate the french anyway), i think it's just that like sagebrush says the cultural wrench is just that much stronger for them.

Japan has had a weird romance with France since the Meiji restoration. A lot of Japan's modernization centered around dealings with the French. They really internalized the idea of France as a centre of culture in the West. Hell, Anime and manga literally comes out to the French BD tradition. Essentially Japanese people going to Paris are just their version of American weebs going to Tokyo

japan consciously modeled its late 1800s modernization on what they viewed as the best aspects of different western countries. so they modeled their navy after britain, their army after france, their constitution after germany, their financial system after the us, etc

The real weird Japanese cultural obsession is Anne of Green Gables. So popular it had theme park called Canadian Land dedicated to it in the 90's. The claimed reason is some heartwarming story of a missonary and a gift of a book, but the actual reason is that it was one of the books chosen for schooling by the Allies in occupied Japan post WWII.
