I'm not sure what the question is, but "really weird" is entirely subjective. What's "weird" to one person or culture is perfectly normal to another. The Japanese people and culture is quite different from the west in many ways.
As for their daily life being no better, I'd say that's true. They tend to work very long hours and are often under a lot of stress. Their standard of living (in terms of "how much stuff do they have" tends to be no better than the US average, I'd say... worse in some areas (like hot running water on all faucets and clothes dryers and central heating/AC and insulation being relatively rare) and better in others (lots of cell phones, nice TVs, newer cars with lots of gadgets in them, etc).
