I lived in Japan for 3 years so let me offer an explanation.
You act as if a complicated behavioral issue can be explained by one variable. The answer is much more complex than you can imagine. Are you a behavioral expert on Japanese cultural norms? Have you even lived there?
I have extensive experience (if you count 3 years) with the culture. I learned to speak the language, I rented an apartment off base and had many Japanese friends. (surprising since I'm apparently a white supremacist) The culture there is much more homogeneous. To an astonishing percentage there are only Japanese people, foreigners can't own property and they don't permit much immigration.
There is also not much disparity in income or success levels. Therefore people don't feel disenfranchised or helpless about society at large.
They are culturally inclined to be respectful and go along with traditions which have not been subjected to the level of incessant radical shit talking that we have here.
But yeah one variable is responsible for their lack of shootings...my ass

It IS more complex.
MUCH more complex.
Just ‘bring back God’ isn’t the whole answer.
Many countries aren’t Christian and yet they’re VERY well behaved with almost zero crime and interpersonal violence.
On the other hand, there are Christian countries that are VERY violent.
I’ve lived all over the world...And was being sarcastic at the poster who suggested that lack of Christianity yielded violence.
That poster has been trying to get people into specious arguments on various topics for a few days now , btw.
