Yep, Aiko's career experiences is a pretty stark reflection of Japanese culture. There is more emotion. I enjoyed all the moments he's had at-work, and how much his in-game experiences translated to his success there.

I think some people who criticize such, haven't even been inside a more younger-talented company today like Facebook or Google. It's more free-roam, and not a "told what to do" work culture here either. Open collaboration spaces are the new normal, not sit in a cube by-yourself.
