Thanks for the links! To be honest, I feel like Japan adopted a TON of American traditions because a lot of it has to do with commercialism.

-- You're welcome! I feel that way about Japan too. At least that's what anime & vloggers have shown me.

I saw someone post something on tamales the past week (I swear, everyone's in the tamale zone or something) and I have to admit I feel like I'm constantly missing out, ha.

-- I'm in Tx, there is no escaping the tamales here.
