Maybe the Japanese view cross dressing as a joke.
James does not cross dress because he is not straight; he does it to steal Pokemon.

That I'm not exactly sure of, the Japanese culture I know is from anime and a few friends that went to Japan for a few months.

Well then, ask your friends; maybe they have a hunch.

elite4 are you doing one of the summer programs there? I wouldn't have minded to do one of those like my friends but I have Dental School Prep to do this summer.
And sorry guys, my roommate is still out. I should be able to get an answer sometime later today.

^ I applied for JET. I had my interview a few weeks back and it went really well, but I won't get any official word until April. I'll be there for a year at the least if I am successful.

Well I'll loose my unofficial position as the goto guy for Japanese, darn lol. Oh well, I hope that you get in. Either way I'm a bit jealous to say the least.

Alright guys I got a bit of an answer from her before I ran off to class today.
To start off, the Japanese don't consider cross dressing as much of a taboo as we do. While it really isn't mainstream to actually cross dress, some of their pop bands do cross dress durring their shows. So simply they don't really care as much we western culture does. I'll ask her more once she gets back on Sunday.
If you find out anything else while you're there James be sure to try and remember to post it.

Oh, and I just remembered something else: David Bowie, one of the more famous alternative artists (or is he new wave...) was known for crossdressing during his performances.
