Japan's 20 favorite sites about themselves

Japan's 20 favorite sites about themselves photo

What Japan Thinks is such a useful resource for, well, what Japan thinks about things. This time, they've gone through and found the 20 most popular sites about Japan that Japanese people visit. Who made the cut, you ask?

Well, not surprisingly, places like Danny Choo, Tokyopop, CDJapan, and theOtaku are on the list. Sadly, not enough people have learned about the glory that is Japanator. Don't worry, though, Japan! We'll make things alright!

Some of the more interesting things on the list (which you can check out after the jump), are sites like the 2002 World Cup site, when Japan and Korea went head to head, as well as some sites about teaching English or importing foreign cars into Japan.

I'm wondering what qualifies as "sites about Japan" on this list. I'm surprsied sites like 4chan and AnimeNewsNetwork aren't on the list. ANN I can somewhat understand, simply because you have to speak English to make use of it. Yet 4chan is an imageboard, and I'm sure that it would be right up there with theOtaku, where I assume most Japanese people use it for the galleries that exist within it.
