There is a flaw in that. Dokool and I are both listed under Japan, but neither one of is Nihonjin. We're not even Kikajin (naturlised Japanese citizens). So while there are certainly a few, say, pianos, you cannot take it for granted that each Japan is a Japanese person. And even then, I have noticed a tendency of some fans on anime related sites to put Japan as their location even though it isn't. That further cuts down on the reliability of this as an indicator of Nihonjin that make AMVs.

I was just looking over the Japanese MAD wiki and I did a double take. :amv:

It seems that there is a theory that MAD actually stands for Music Amusing Destruction.

Which kind of makes sense, coming from Japan...
