Do you have the feeling that it is likely to break, or just noting it as a risk?

My gut feel is that despite the significant demographic problems, Japan has one of the better societies for weathering the increasingly rapid changes modern societies are subject to. But keeping it that way I have no clue how they do it (or got it the way it is now for that matter).

I watched this movie called Tokyo Sonata which was made a decade ago. It's part of the J-Horror genre - which isn't scary at all. It just has a very dark and sombre undertone through the entire film. Definitely an interesting film that relates to this topic since it was set after the 2008 recession.
