    Yeah, they have some nice things going for them but Japanese culture still very patriarchal and conservative overall

        That plus a massive amount of inherent isolationism plus an extreme birth shortage and an already very aged population.

        The writing is on the wall in many ways unless major, unprecedented changes were to be made. Japan in a hundred years will be unrecognizable without them.
