Funny thing is, it's rumored that the "turning japanese" in the song was meant to refer to the face people made while masturbating, which is kinda ironic.
Thats actually EXACTLY what the song is
It's about masturbation. Hell, anyone who listens to the LYRICS CAN TELL
NO SEX NO WINE NO WOMEN ITS DARK TURNING JAPANESE I GOT YOUR PICTURE
Its not hard to tell
Oh, hey, that's and incredibly good song as well! Nasty Nas!
But anyway, I wonder why the HELL she's there. I mean, she's the last person I would expect to be there, it's pretty random. It's kinda frightening and...well, I don't know.
It's the exportation of Japanese culture, which is really just American culture on steroids. As someone who's interested in Sociology and the study of human nature and cultures, it's pretty damn fascinating.
I'm no professor, not even a student. But it still fascinates the hell out of me. American culture pervaded Japan after WWII-those uniforms are based on AMERICAN SAILOR UNIFORMS-yet it's grown to some odd form.
Anyway, safe to say Japan's made somewhat of an impact on world culture. When you have celebrities going out there and seeing all the otaku-ness, it's bound to impact them and their work, or at least world view. Kanye already had all the KAWAI BEAR shit going on with his album.
