Thank you for writing this. I wanted to get a feeling from your personal perspective.

I have watched volumes of YouTube videos on the subject but still wasn’t sure if all of that is true or am I missing something. Looks like I am not.

The trouble doesn’t seem fixable at this point because it hasn’t been fixed in the last 80 years while rest of the world has moved on.

The modern Japanese kids can’t remain a dedicated salaryman which watching the rest of the world pass by.
