THIS. MANY MANY leftists go there and try to infiltrate and get the youth on board but they're not very successful outside of the disaffected and trash which is already a tiny minority due to cultural norms to excel and gambatte aka do your best. Mostly those with bad pasts and mental issues from it, Gaijin hunters and already communists. the 2 former typically revert back to being Japanese once their cool gaijin friend's visa is up or they get deported and they have to go home. Young naive Japanese with $$ to live abroad outside of Japan and want to make western friends are the true threat since they tend to take things at face value and assimilate to their surroundings quickly and they LOVE living on the west coast of the US, NYC, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Paris. They quickly become boba liberals and feminists because that's who's around them, especially if they're there for college or working in fashion or music.
