I can't speak for most people, but when I went through my "I want to live in Japan" phase it was due to reading Confucius Lives Next Door, which is a book about how western culture can learn from eastern culture based on the author's experiences in Japan. It's a wonderful book, but reading responses to it (mostly surrounding the author's cherrypicking of the good elements while only spending a chapter talking about the bad) did balance out my viewpoint a lot.

those should keep you busy for a while.

Jake Aldenstein (first non Japanese reporter for a major Japanese newspaper) wrote a book called Tokyo Vice, which has elements of what you are looking for. Its mostly about his life as a gaijin reporter, versus just being a gaijin.
