I don't think there is are many vehicles to teach social interaction in Japan. It's too easy to be a wallflower. For example, there aren't social events at schools like dances, which are a big petri dish for learning how to talk to the opposite sex. Less women in Japan today are going to college to meet men, and are going to learn a career. Suddenly these guys are 35 and realize they have never talked to a girl before.
