EVERY industry in Japan is a corpo cubicle slave farm. And 90% of people aren’t paid enough nor have enough free time to even think about pursuing the indie path to freedom. Also society doesn’t exactly encourage pioneering and risk taking.

Also most corpos in Japan will fire you if you have a side hustle. Even if it just a small YouTube channel. They see a side hustle as not being dedicated to the corporate mission.

  As much as I love Japan (lived there for 3+ years), their corporate culture and neoliberal political establishment are fucking awful.
  
  I blame post-war US occupation for introducing capitalism.
