One thing that I've noticed about Japan is that they're probably the only non-white group who actually have been pivotal in video game history. (Sure, one can find Chinese and Korean video games, but they tend to be browser or 'free 2 play' games which lure you into paying money for advantages: only Japan can come up with AAA games like Metal Gear or Soul Calibur.)
The other thing that I've noticed is these Japanese video games tend to feel quite alien, which is why I would like you to elaborate on how Japanese video games are 'becoming Westernized'? There isn't really a Japanese analogue to such games as Age of Empires or Call of Duty, for example, nor is there any Western analogue to such games as Ace Combat, Soul Calibur, and Tekken. 'Fighting games' are totally Japanese. (I haven't played any video game made past 2016 and have no idea what is going on in contemporary video gaming.)
Even Metal Gear was ultimately full of Japanese features (e.g. the HF Blade and the 'Ninja' in MGS2), even if it felt highly Westernized (e.g. most of the main characters are racially non-Asian, and remarkably few characters are both non-Asian and non-White. There's usually a token black somewhere, such as Anderson in MGS1 and MGS3, Stillman and Dolph in MGS2, and Drebin in MGS4). In that respect, Japanese video games have been Westernized for decades: I don't think Tekken or Soul Calibur were majority Asian in terms of their characters either.
Also, please elaborate on the 'woke' Japanese. I don't think we know much about these people: for instance, what they want, who they vote for, what causes them, and so on.
