as strange as it sounds, this song is about a boy stuck in prison with a picture of his girlfriend, and "im turning Japanese" is describing the expression on his face while having an orgasm...
This song is about when they went to Japan and they fell in love with the culture, so hence forth... I'm turning Japanese. Hope that makes sense to you
@MasWeird this explanation is just God awful!!! as strange as it sounds, it is about a boy stuck in prison with a picture of his girlfriend, and "im turning Japanese" is describing the expression on his face while having an orgasm... hope that makes sense to you.
It also came out at a time when America had Japan on the brain, and Japan was an economic powerhouse and America was in a recession. Kids walked around with Japenese characters on their t-shirts. I don't think any of us really thought about the lyrics at the time - was more that it appealed to us teens watching our first Anime and being fascinated with Japanese culture.
This song is not about masturbation. It's about a guy that's going crazy, who is also obsessed with his dead lover. The phrase "Turning Japanese" is his way of saying he's turning in to something he never thought he'd become.
I thought this song was going to be "I've started watching anime...I've started reading manga...I'm making bento boxes..." (well catchier than that). This is not what I expected. o.o weird...
he actually said that when he gets himself off he THINKS that he looks Japanese but How gay Chinese have more of a squinty look or well i dont know they all look the same to me
I still say this has to do with sexuality in Japan. I always thought the eye squinting hypothesis was a bit off. I mean, honestly, when does a guy squint his eyes when he's about to cum outside of overacted porn? When I cum, I don't squint. I just cum.
This song is about hentai and Japanese sexual attitudes.
The band actually said it was about masturbation at some point. However on on VH1, they revealed that when they said so it was because they thought it was cool to give the song some controversial part. They wrote the song in order to talk about changes you never expected. The band still wonders who started this humor because they are grateful to this person for giving the song another 20 years of popularity.
@emileeharrison9696 i read that its about masterbating to a hot chick in a picture and your eyes squint when youre about to bust a nut..my guess is this dudes in jail (cell reference)
It really isn't. It was meant to and still is about some breakup (in the UK anyway). However, when it made the jump across the Pacific it was commentated that "turn Japanese" meant squinting your eyes whilst one masturbated. I don't care, I freaking love this song.
first of all the guys that made this song confirmed the song was not about jackin off. second BESIDES that anyone else know what " I think im turning japanese'' is suppose to mean?
every one thinks this song is about masterbation but it is really not i mean the lyrics really make you think it is but if you watch an interview from the band they say it is actually about japanese technology but it really sounds like they are talking about masterbation
It really is about masturbation. Back after the song came out they stated in an interview with Rolling stones that the song talks about a guy looking at the picture of his girlfriend and playing with himself. As he starts to "come" his eyes squint and thus he "turns japanese". Because of the interview, the song was yanked of a number of radio stations and you didn't hear it played again for several years.
this song is about MASTURBATION. Its called Turning Japanese because most people close their eyes or squint when they cum, so they have asian eye. Listen to the lyrics and you can tell its just about jacking off.
It doesn't, it's a joke or something, as a matter of fact, most asian people in general have brown hair, they just fucking dye it red and blonde you fucking weeaboo.
Japanese is not supposed to be people who loves pictures of everything? He's so affectionate about having pictures of her he believes he's TJ. This is how I see it, but I may be absolutely wrong.
hey plz sub me cuz my friend and i have a bet that i can make 100 subscribers by the end of today plz help out! also japanese people dont have hazel eyes!
it's about how the lead singer was all in love with some chick and got all confused when she wasn't around. "turning japanese" is supposed to be like a complete unexpected reaction.
well how would you know how to spell it? and whats it matter?? why are you acting like a 3 year old..........hey do you master bay shun???? i think you do since you are making a big deal about nothig....... GET A LIFE PERVERT!
The meaning of this song is basically a guy who's in jail and gets no sex, decides to have a wank over his girlfriends picture. And at the point of the chorus where he is "turning japanese" - a.k.a squinting coz he's about to cum
he thinks hes turning Japanese because when hes having his orgasm he squinting and look Japanese thats why
