Made In Japan by Buck Owens

i have been listening to this song and for some reason it feels like an orientalist fantasy

i deeply despise identity politics and culture wars, but this song for some reason feels like an orientalist fantasy that seeks to fetishise the women of japanese culture (not sexually but rather in a romantic perversion)

the song released in 1972, the time period that japanese culture was starting to be visible in the western hemisphere, and was also starting to be fetishised.

edit: i am not japanese, but am asian.
