Surprisingly not. People mostly ignore foreigners here. I think they get a lot from movies.
In keeping with thread: are there Japanese Truckers or is most by train or vessel? If trucker is there a sub-culture of music dedicated to truckers? As mentioned before I was fascinated to find out that in Europe, especially Germany but also elsewhere, there was "trucker" music- in their languages but somewhat like the USA trucker music that was most popular in the late 70's but still exits, to an extent. Essentially C&Wesque music but instead of horses etc about trucking; missing family back home, travails on the road, deaths on the road, love, speed traps and weight checks, etc.
