I know that, but I was disagreeing with you.

From here, it seems that Europeans are much more interested in Japan than people from the UK. (By Europeans, I mean the European mainland)

Perhaps one of us is either exaggerating or understating the popularity of Japanese culture in our respective countries.

Or perhaps we are actually at a similar level.

I would say that it's probably difficult to really know how popular it is in a country without living there.

Anyway, Japanese Culture isn't that popular in the UK. Certainly not compared to the States.
