I think as a good socialist I'm not supposed to get excited about "oh look at all these nice consumer products"
But
Wow I really do like Japan's consumer products!!
The temporary deodorant and hand moisturizer I picked up here. I like them more than my regular brands
I like the convenience store onigiri. It fills a hole in my day to day life in North America
Arcades are (in Osaka?) relatively common, relatively cheap, and have games I actually want to play
