As a foreigner you would have a little bit more leeway, especially if you live in a big city and not a rural area. It's kind of expected that foreigners act like dumb barbarians because they're stupid and can't help it, and young people think that's cool even if they couldn't get away with the same behavior. I'm just saying don't let that be the only thing stopping you from living there if you really want to because it won't affect you much and you can make those non-conformist friends.
Yeah but it's still shit, I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable there because I'm from Yorkshire. We're kind of the opposite of the Japanese in terms of how we socialise and we're very upfront with each other to the point we offend the southerners :P others might call that blunt. As a result the excessive politeness and attitude of "Keep your opinions to yourself" would really rub me the wrong way especially if they got backstabby about it. I don't even like that kind of behaviour when westerners do it to, I feel it's rather snake like.
