There has been a recent trend of Japanese fans and players cleaning up sports venues after events such as the World Cup. This has attracted a great deal of attention in Western media. This article examines several representative articles in the British media from a discourse analysis perspective. It finds that these articles share a number of commonalities.
The behaviour of the Japanese fans is depicted as unusual while similar behaviour by fans from other countries is not mentioned or is minimized. The behaviour of the Japanese fans is linked to Japanese culture, which is then explained to the reader by a Western expert, not by a Japanese person. This ensures that the Japanese in the media reports remain an
“Other.” Both the producers and consumers of this media then use this constructed representation of Japanese behavior as a way to either implicitly or explicitly criticize trends in Western society.

This paper will examine the foreign media representation of Japanese people and their behaviour following the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis and put it in the context of other media accounts of disasters. To investigate the media representation of the 2011 disaster, a corpus of texts from both Japanese and non-Japanese media sources is assembled. This is then analysed through a combination of corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis techniques.
It is found that non-Japanese media sources frequently used cultural stereotypes to construct a narrative of idealized Japanese behaviour following the earthquake and tsunami. This paper will discuss how this idealized representation was then contrasted with media representations of other disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and used as a way to both implicitly and explicitly criticize the behaviour of victims of other disasters.
