I lived in Japan for about 6 years. I fucking love the place and had some of the most fun of my life there, but I can definitely confirm they are weird as shit.
Some examples off the top of my head -
All phones in Japan are required to make a shutter click noise when you take a picture, even if you're on silent mode, because a bunch of creepy old guys were taking upskirt pics of girls in skirts while behind them on escalators.
you can buy weird manga porn magazines in every convenient store, and I constantly saw salary men opening looking them on the train. Also saw many a guy casually watching porn on his phone on the train.
Girl idol singing groups - Every year theres a big craft beer festival in Yokohama. A buddy of mine owns a brewery that was in the competition, so he gave me a free brewers pass to get in early and help set up. As the doors were about to open to the public, there was a massive line of guys outside, all mostly dressed like salary men. I'm like "sweet, once the doors open these dudes are all gonna start buying beer". BUT NO. They all rushed right by the beer stands to the music stage where out came a teenage girl idol group. All these guys look like they're 40+ years old but they are obsessed with these girls. They know all the lyrics and all the dances to all the songs. Even more, all the girls in the group wore a specific color outfit; red, green blue, etc. And these guys all had colored glowsticks for their favorite girl they busted out and started waving around. Suuuper creepy. And then once the girls were done, over half the dudes all left. Bought tickets to a beer fest just to watch a teenage girl group. And for a lot of these girl groups, they have to literally sign contracts saying they're not allowed to be in a serious relationship while in the group because then the creepers will stop showing up.
Like I said. It's one of my favorite places on earth, but fuckin hell it can get weeeeird.

Very interesting read and ty for sharing, but I wouldn’t say this is isolated to Japan
If we could look at the demographics of the simps who get into para-social relationships with very young twitch streamers and onlyfans girls, it would be a ton of lonely 40+ year old men
I remember talking to this half-Asian 10yr old girl at a school for my job, and we were going over her hobbies. She said she was a big deal on YouTube, that her channel was very popular with lots of subs. I asked what kind of content she made and she said lip sync dancing and ASMR. I was thinking “oh no, none of those subs are kids, or even women. Yikes, fucking yikes” but didn’t say anything
There are a lot more perverts and pedos out there than we like to admit
