I actually get the sense her Japanese fans don't understand her as the complex individual that she is and still expect her to follow certain conventions, even though she's far removed from the society at large. She has a peculiar way of expressing herself and it's like her Japanese fans are unable to accept certain things about her persona, her "otherness."
It's weird because her 'otherness' is what I consider to have made her a hit in the first place (in the way she expressed that with her honest lyrics)
