Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Japan in modern Hollywood is a mix of old and modern. All Japanese are polite, superintelligent, great at technology, and Salarymen. They love sake,note general Japanese word for "alcoholic beverage"; in a more specific sense, it refers to a type that is brewed by fermenting rice in a manner that makes it more like beer than wine. sleep in apartments the size of shoeboxes, and make fantastic electronics. They also know martial arts. Mostly, the only part of Japan that is ever shown is Tokyo, or a city that just happens to look exactly like Westerners imagine Tokyo looks like. Otherwise, it'll be some generic Far East place. Pop culture is composed entirely of Weird Japanese Things. Oh, and by the way- Aaaaauuugghh! It's GOJIRA!!!!note Actually, due to international copyright laws, it's not. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Some of this, though, is Truth in Television — see Japanese Culture. However, the reputation of Japan as being on the cutting edge of technology has fallen in recent years. People are now more likely to point out that many Japanese offices still use fax machines. Though the avant-garde rock band Pere Ubu has a song with the same name, the term "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" actually refers to the 1944 film of the same name. That film, a history of the Doolittle Raid, does not actually feature this trope. Compare with Animeland for depictions of Japan based on Japanese pop culture, Hollywood Medieval Japan for simplified foreign depictions of pre-modern Japan, and Jidaigeki for Japanese-produced depictions of Japan in the past of varying levels of accuracy.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons actually had an episode named "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo", which jabs at anime (the entire family suffers seizures à la that one Pokémon episode when watching one), their culture (Homer and Bart learn the language, origami and tea ceremony, among other things, when in prison), and even their weird TV shows, much in the vein of Takeshi's Castle (which they have to "survive" in order to get free tickets back to the USA).

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_28f8508d	comment	Kyatto Ninden Teyandee depicts a mix of this and a more futuristic version of Japan. It's even mentioned in the opening, the first two lines of which are "Ottodokkoi kako/Ottodokkoi mirai" (translation: It's a time like the past/It's a futuristic time).

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_87b55b5d	comment	The exaggerated reputation of Japan as a high-tech country is satirized in The Onion article "Earthquake Sets Japan Back to 2147," depicting the country as having a "protective force field, quantum teleportation system, zero-point fusion energy broadcasting grid, and psychodynamic communications network."

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_a9570fac	comment	Victoria: Among other stereotypes, the brief appearance of Japan fits this perfectly. From the philosophical discussion of collectivism vs. individualism to the Yakuza.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_b5ab36eb	comment	Though filmed on-location in Japan with Japanese actors, You Only Live Twice has some funny ideas about the country. This includes (but is not limited to) Japan's single most famous castle being a "secret" Ninja training base. Well, what better way to learn stealth than to avoid those pesky tourists?

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_e8286c80	comment	Sayonara was significant for being a major Hollywood film done on-location in Japan. There is a scene in Tokyo, but the majority of action happens in Kobe. There's definitely a romanticised tone - as the director made it after enjoying a trip there. Also a scene where the American protagonist is invited over for dinner and is introduced to sake.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo / int_f0196885	comment	Italian-produced adventure game Nippon Safes Inc. is set in a fictional Japanese city that sums up almost every stereotype of Japan in the early Nineties and not only these. Karaoke, pachinko, tea ceremonies, sumo, Yakuza bosses in hot baths, advanced technologies, suicides, you name it.
