Watch some Japanese programming, read any magazine there, and you’ll probably notice a huge amount of articles praising people living long, active, healthy lives. Is suicide an issue? Absolutely. But it’s ridiculous to say they don’t value life, especially when compared to some countries which seem to have a problem with gun violence
While yes, most of the world’s oldest people generally don’t live in cities, what’s your beef with Tokyo specifically? You make it sound like a death city.
It’s just that over 90% (i think) 30% of Japans population lives there. So the claim that they have the oldest people in the world makes it funny when most of their population lives in a city that is probably not that healthy to live in.
I mean Tokyo is probably the best Mega city on the planet so it ain’t that bad for sure.

Ok but Google says that 10% of Japanese live in Tokyo, which is still massive but 90% is a ridiculous stretch
