As to your point out being divided and isolated, I think it's a universal problem now, not just Japan. Most human interactions today seem to be mediated by a pane of glass. When I lived in Japan, I remembered that on the train to Tachikawa, it felt like every face was looking down towards a phone. But it's the same in Moscow. It's the same everywhere. Even in restaurants, you witness couples that aren't looking at each other — they're both looking at different apps. Sharing distance.

I'll also review some of the older Ghost in the Shell films. Friends, family, lovers, no one is looking the other person in the eye and having a conversation. Do you have a good vision for these issues?
