Japander:n.,& v.t. 1. a western star who uses his or her fame to make large sums of money in a short time by advertising products in Japan that they would probably never use. ~er (see synecure, prostitute) 2. to make an ass of oneself in Japanese media.
Ever wonder what stars do on their time off of their regular gig? Why soak up big paychecks for Japanese product endorsements, of course!
The Japanese are infaturated with American pop culture, and, unlike here where you actually have to own a particular brand or product you endorse, over there all you silly round eyes have to do is say your lines phonetically and pick up your check on the way back to the airport.
