Rael is French, not Japanese.

Yes. And for the record, I've lived in Japan for half a year now and I can't remember a single case of Japanese people casually hugging each other or me. I've had other pleasant things done to me, so maybe it's just that they really don't have hugging in their standard set of social responses.
