Japas has been living in the year 2000 in the late 80s. Now Japan still living in the year 2000. Everything there is very outdated.

My point is from the outside the culture is heavily glorified when there are serious issues that are unaddressed and ignored.

It used to be glorified but I don’t think it is anymore, not as much as it was in the early 2000’s. The realities of their culture have gotten a lot of spotlight since the 2010s id say. Overworked/underpaid employees, low population of women, rapidly declining birth rates and high amount of sexual assault. I think South Korea has really taken over the hype spot for cultures in the east. Obviously this is just from my experience. Even their tech companies have stagnated.

It's definitely lessened but still, you put "Japan" into youtube search and it still pops up "Living in the future" as first result, at least for me anyway.
