Japanzine is a free monthly English-language magazine with distribution (seemingly) all over the country. When I had first picked up one of the issues back in September I had found the articles to be a little comical, but not something that you’d expect to see anywhere but some amateurs blog. Thinking this was just my unaccustomed view of English magazines in Japan, I decided to wait and see if my perception of the content would change over time. Not surprisingly, it has.
Japanzine is horrible.
Who Soc'd It?

Do you guys think that the average Japanese person buys into the media hype about foreigners?

Unfortunately, yes. It's not just a Japanese thing, though. The average anybody buys into media hype about anything! The chances of winning the World Cup, the danger of terrorists, the latest Spielberg movie, a new boy-band. If the media push it, people will buy into it.
