Harsh words mate. I agree there is some nasty stuff going on in Japan these days mainly due to the extreme social pressures that many people are under such as school kids being scorned if they aren't top of the class, business men on average salaries being driven to compete with the "Tanakas" next door to get a better car, suit, house etc...
But these are relatively rare events that are jumped on by the Japanese media which make it seem like it's happening everywhere. All in all your average Japanese citizen is just trying to make ends meet like the rest of us, and looking forward to that tall cold glass of Asahi at the end of the working day.
