Not only Japan's politics today but also its culture is defined to a large extent by the American occupation.

What did everyone expect? The Japanese are a collectivist society. If the Emperor tells them on NHK telly that the corona virus from China is here and all Japanese have to wear protective masks from now on for the next 50 years, they will do it. Have been to Japan many times. Good for tourism, but I wouldn't want to live in a conformist society like this, let alone work. Lot's of suicides too.

Japan is a very collective society. The Japanese were the first to accept the medical masks, and the last to drop them, if ever.

Nietzsche hated weak people. Do you hate weak people, Dr. Pattberg?

We Japanese value harmony over chaos. We were masks not to offend the other masks wearers. Not because of a deadly virus.

In other words, a retard badge.

There are no masks mandates in Japan, so foreigners just walk around maskless. But still, if you are Japanese and were to walk into a supermarket maskless, you better be a maverick. Social credit scores are real. People will avoid you. Report you. Hate you even, for destroying their pandemic hoax. As to the underclass and workingclass --they are forced to wear the medical masks on the job site. No mask, no employment. Very sad.

The Germans are violent. They enforce mask mandates with police brutality, heavy fines and zersetzung [state-funded destruction of your person, reputation and employability].

The Japanese don't need all those violent coercion methods. If a person is not falling in line, he will not get any help, support or benefit from the greater collective, so he may as well commit suicide. Shame culture is a real thing in East-Asian societies. As Confucius said, Germans rule with laws. But the Chinese, they rule with morals. Something like that, he said. ;-)
