To summarize it in a layman term, the state of Japanese economy right now is what some economists would call it as zombie-nomics. Basically, there's a semblance or appearance of economic growth happening in the country but when you actually put it into a quantitative perspective, it's not going anywhere actually due to the fact that those growths could never reduce the enormous amount of debt held at least tangentially. Yet, it's also true that this condition won't affect significantly on the qualitative increase of the living standard of the people, as it's evident that Japan still continues to develop on the technological and innovation sector. But at the same time, this status quo is what allowed the government to continue to maintain the unique stratified model of society where the practice of hyper-capitalist exploitation by the rich upper class continues to persist, but in a way that can be perceived as "tolerable" enough that it becomes some kind of endless cycle. This condition has been perpetuated for so long, to the point where the majority of Japanese people have been desensitized and preconditioned to accept it as the preferable status quo. The majority of lower-middle or median income group would at least still be guaranteed the "adequate" living standard and purportedly "livable" amounts for a disposable income monthly, and it seems so at a first glance until you started taking a deeper look and realized that they're practically still submitted to a corporate slave culture. The rise of material fulfilment into the adequate level doesn't go exponentially with the actual increase of physical and mental well-being of the individuals themselves.
