I love that song. No apologies
No I'm there with you. Their cover of Always on my Mind is jam as well. I think I have a couple others in my library.

Stalin, you seem to have an affinity for Asian girls.
I also have that. I've dated over 100 various Asian girls. The Japanese were always the best and easiest to get along with. Koreans are a bit like volcanoes with their emotions - you never know when they might erupt. But those are the top 2, IMO. My wife is Japanese. I was in Japan most of the time between 2018-2022...also why I kind of disappeared from this site for a while.
Women under 30 rarely get hit on by Japanese guys. Women over 30-40 years old, probably never get hit on. Women are never told by Japanese guys that they're beautiful in Japan, When you tell a Japanese girl this multiple times, they fall in-love with you. Japanese girls rarely get compliments by Japanese guys in general...they love American guys who compliment them.
If you spent a handful of months there and had a daily beer (elixir for the rejections) before you approached women, you'd have a handful of options to choose from in a short time. Cheap, decent hotels are $40-60/night. Visa lasts for 90 days. Food is half the price of the US, and tastes 10X better. You'll actually save money touristing/living in Japan vs the US. Going to grocery stores at 5-7pm, you'll find cheap bento boxes reduced in price for $2-$5...trying to find the same bento boxes in the US would be $12-20.
Best places to hit on women in Japan are at the numerous huge parks where/when the Sakura (cherry blossoms) bloom. Feb-April. (Colder areas bloom later.) Hundreds/thousands of groups of women sit on tarps or blankets they bring and admire the beauty of the Sakura for hours and are usually also drinking beer or wine. They are very easy to "party with" and get their #s. (You can drink in the public in Japan.)
Or just asking a cute girl for directions. I've asked some women for directions while I was there and they would walk a mile with me just to "help me out"...I think they thought I was trying to hit on them and were interested enough to linger and walk with me as long as they could.
The best way to start a random conversation with a woman is to ask her to take a picture of you with your phone, then tell her you will buy her a coffee to "repay her for taking your pic."
Plan your trip for this upcoming Sakura season...

Along with Opportunities and Where the Streets Have No Name
You're not quite dialed in on my wavelength on this.
I've got a fascination with South Korea.
Stalin has South Korean cultural fetish and I have why are South Korea and Japan dying nations fetish.

The Japanese low-income workers are very efficient. If you go to an average Taco Bell or Mcdonalds in Japan, they only need about 3 workers, because they work fast and efficiently. I would guestimate that A Japanese worker can do 3X the work of an American worker.
If there are only 3 workers at a Taco Bell or Mcdonalds in the US, it will probably take 20+ minutes to get your food.
Japan has a very good health care system. I believe the US needs to eliminate all the middlemen + insurance crap and let the government take over the system. There's too much over-billing crap going on in the US healthcare system now, which basically amounts to corrupt, fraud.
In Japan, when you are in the emergency room or in a hospital stay, YOU, the patient have to purchase all the minor supplies like paper towels, diapers, tissue, clothes you will wear at the hospital, etc. You can buy these at the hospital store, which they have within the hospital...so you may buy maybe $5-10 of stuff daily. Meanwhile, in the US, the hospital is going to charge you a marked-up amount of hundreds if not thousands for these same supplies. The US healthcare system is a broken, money-grab. Healthcare should not be for profit.
For a high quality of life to return to both Japan and South Korea, I think the population of both needs to drop by at least 60-70%, then stabilize. Imagine putting 150 million people into California -> how crappy and expensive things would get...
