I consider myself very close to both ancient and modern Japan.

Being in Japan 8 times is not enough to make such an statement. One has to live here several years. I really doubt he knows what he is talking about.

Well, what do you expect him to say? That Japan is a mysterious country?

Yeah, well, I've been there 7 times since 2004. So I'm closer to it than him. Although he's probably several degrees closer to Kevin Bacon.

I've been there 9 times. But I ain't Richard Gere, so no one gives a heck.

8 times. Wow. He's truly at one with the land of the rising sun.
I wonder how many hours he's actually spent in Japan though, as in being a tourist and wandering around rather than standing in front of a camera posing.

And least he's not all "I have so much respect for Buddhism and stuff" like Madonna. I still respect Cyndi Lauper though, she sneaks into Japan with the media unaware so she can take in the country without the circus around her.
