I know that Japanese society, from about 1950 until the 1990s, was based around the belief that you had to get into a good primary school, and from there get into a good middle school and from there a good high school and from there a good university and from there a good company where you would have a good career until retirement. What wasn't talked about was the number of Japanese teenagers who became hikikomori and karoshi among Japanese executives.

I remember reading an article titled "The Revolt Of The Japanese Worker" in 1990, where Japanese executives were saying, "Enough!"

Amongst younger Japanese, and this has been the case since the 1990s, people have seen what their forebears did, and some of the workers who revolted, and decided that they wanted to be a furita or freelance.

As an autistic with a special interest in Japan, I would love to see Japanese teachers of autistic kids, once autism becomes more commonly spoken about in Japan, say that my fellow autistic, Satoshi Tajiri, was able to combine his loves of collecting bugs (hence being known as the Bug Doctor) and drawing to be a successful artist with Pokemon.

This DJ and radio host has great ideas and so does Satoshi Tajiri.
