"The fact that you see salarymen reading manga and ***** on the trains and being unafraid, unashamed or anything, is something you wouldnâ€™t have seen 30 years ago, with people who grew up under a different system of government. They would have been far too embarrassed to open a book of cartoons or dirty pictures on a train. But thatâ€™s what we have now in Japan. We are a country of children."
