You’re totally right, but as a complete aside, Tokyo’s architecture still feels nice.
It seems to strike the right balance between density and sunlight, cars and pedestrians, aesthetics and practicality.
Having relocated to Singapore earlier in the year, I rarely feel “comforted” by its design - like I could walk around for hours enjoying the ambience of the streets.
Could also be the oppressive heat and humidity though.

The tiny streets everywhere, the buildings with only a few centimetres of separation between them, the cheap plastic look of many buildings... Everything feels cramped and chaotic.
