Also, "fluent in a nation's language" is a SUPER high and weird bar to go live in a place. Enclaves of European retirees in low cost of living countries not doing anything to integrate is weird and gross, sure - but it's not a crime and is in fact cool and good and mutually beneficial to go live in another culture for a while.

Japan has a very serious military including some big rear end boats carrying aircraft for which the technical term is of course helicopter destroyer.

I do live in Okinawa where the biggest US bases are, but I'm actually a biologist working at a university here. The working language of the institution is English, so I don't need Japanese for my job. I am learning some but tbqh I'm old and constantly busy and Japanese is a ludicrously complicated jackass language that seems to be designed specifically to be hard to learn. I'm slowly acquiring some spoken Japanese but I'm just not even going to bother learning to read it; IMO if you want your language to be read by foreigners you shouldn't use four alphabets (including Romaji).

As for not moving to somewhere where you don't speak the language: nah. Before here I lived in Germany for three years and didn't speak any German when I moved there. It's fun.

A year before the Power Rangers, Saban Entertainment translated a seventies anime and it aired on cable TV as "Bob in the Bottle". The titular genie was summoned by sneezing, usually screwed up the wishes and he had a fondness... for hamburgers. It's been a while since I saw an episode, but they were probably supposed to be dumplings or onigiri.

The kid who had stumbled on the bottle also liked playing around in kendo armor with a bamboo sword. That sure was an interesting American town it took place in!

While we're on the topic, one of the wild things about Okinawa is that Americans basically imported the Taco Bell version of what a "taco" is. Over the decades that has morphed into taco rice



and taco sushi rolls at the konbinis



What's really funny is how they are marketed to mainland Japanese tourists as The Taste of Okinawa, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat the hell out of both. It's just so weird that the Japanese bastardization of the American bastardization of Mexican food is seen as one of the signature dishes of the island.

That’s just Spam Musubi.

Or is attributing it as American okay?

I kind of assumed peoples of the Pacific like the Philippines and Hawaii owned that, regardless of Spam usage and American influence.
