As a person who listens to Japanese music, has friends obsessed with Japanese animation, and myself having a healthy interest in the country that mixes East and West, I think I have a reasonable opinion here. That opinion being that Japanese men have for the past ten to twenty years been experimenting more openly with their feminine qualities than men in other cultures. Which is strange because, in spite of the fact that men and women share equal rights on paper in Japan, the tacit acceptance of chauvinism and expected gender roles (especially of women) is much stronger in Japan than in other such "equality" states.
