Maybe it's all the neon, maybe it's the dystopian off-planet like capsule tower, but I wouldn't be the first to say that Japan has that not-to-distant futuristic vibe. When non-Japanese see pictures of Japan (well at least for me and I'd hazard a guess many others here on HN), it's almost like looking at scenes from a scifi, cyberpunk, action thriller.
