The UI is a reflection of the hoardings and signs you see in the pictures of streets full of signboards. It’s bloated with information. They lack basic understanding of how design works through digital interfaces. It is centuries behind anything you would see in the rest of the world.

They also ignore security standards and best practices of building modern websites. A very frequent and glaring ignorance of basic security practice that you encounter in Japanese software is restricting the length of passwords to something absurdly small like 8 characters WITH no special characters allowed.
