Isn't Japan like really scared of Western individualism flowing in?

I mean I can understand why they would be but just curious.

I wouldn't say that scares them, I've never noticed that sentiment. Never specifically mentioning Western culture, it's not like they're too exposed to it anyway.

But Japanese people value safety and order highly. Too highly in my opinion. You can see this even in small details like how many warnings and signs there are everywhere, about things you'd expect people to figure out by themselves. From elevators not shutting the fuck up to detailed instructions in the toilet about how to flush and how to change a roll.

Or not so small things like people wearing masks all the time or speakers in towns telling kids to go home at 5pm because it's "dangerous" to stay outside.
