He shows love without restraint, and in that sense he may appear to be an alien because he is unlike a Japanese

Miyuki Hatoyama, referring to her husband Yukio, who is set to become Japan’s next prime minister. Hatoyama has been nicknamed “the alien” by his Democratic Party of Japan colleagues in a gentle stab at his physical appearance. (AFP)

    Unlike a Japanese cat? Unlike a Japanese car? Unlike a Japanese house? Unlike a Japanese person??? Maybe?

    Sounds like a gentle stab might make for an improvement.

    "He shows love without restraint, and in that sense he may appear to be an alien because he is unlike a Japanese"

    Unlike a Japanese cat? Unlike a Japanese car? Unlike a Japanese house? Unlike a Japanese person??? Maybe?

    Think of the quote in these terms:

    "He may appear to be an alien because he is unlike an American" "He may appear to be an alien because he is unlike a Canadian"

    It's the same thing. "Japanese" can be both an adjective or noun.
