Yeah, but also Japan is cool
except ironically the visuals are more taiwan
Yeah this part kind of confused me. I feel like japanese stuff is just shoehorned into everything for no reason. Especially cyberpunk type things
Man, in the eighties, the rapid development of Japan technologically and in corporate culture, we were convinced everyone was going to be working for some branch of Mitsubishi.
It was actually scary how fast they were developing tech, and how fast it was overcoming domestic appliances.
You should watch the new Wallace and Gromit movie!
It's one of those things you kinda had to be there for. Japan used to be practically synonymous with new tech, and now it's just been baked into the aesthetic of the genre.
It's because of the crowded neon advertisements and the vertical streets. It plays into the whole fear of the US being taken over by a foreign government, as well. They're also known for their robotics.
It also serves as an overwhelming and visually interesting tableau of everything vying for your attention to sell you something. All without being recognizable as one of the places like that in America such as times square or the Vegas strip
