Do you have 'cultural' problems because your parents raised you in a (Japanese) way that doesn't fit the environment you have to live in?

    Not necessarily.

    My family is actually very
    "American-ized" -- I am the only person who speaks the language, visits Japan, and practices traditional Japanese dance, etc.
    It is only certain morals that I consider pretty traditional, for example: good grades, going to college, etc. that make modeling out of the question as a career or even hobby.
