I've always been interested in Japanese language and culture, mostly due to the influence on their anime and Jpop culture. Perhaps if i've had more time i will take to studying japanese language. They're a very interesting people - a clash of eccentric modernity highlighted by a backdrop of long-valued traditions and age-old social structures. Japanese society is a fast-paced competitive world, but with very strict rules for conformity, discipline, and obedience. I would love to learn more about them.

I would not know what the Philippines would be like if the Japanese won the world war 2. Perhaps the entire world would be more chaotic because we all know that the United States never back down from a fight unless they're the absolute winner. We'd be fighting wars until the US won, as evidenced by the clash of forces in Afghanistan.

If the Japanese won our culture will be Niponized.

As evidenced that we have been Americanized.
