First, thank you for your answers!
I can see it's quite a meaningless question to make if it's Japan. I'm still unsure though in some...

Religion is just one possible aspect, but since you highlighted it, I should exact my thoughts about it. I know you're incredibly good at adopting things, from religions to pharmaceutical discoveries, but can you still keep up with the 21th century's tempo. You cannot hide anything from the 'eye' of our age, but are you OK with it, I mean don't you have sacred traditions, which shouldn't be relieved under secrecy. How does a traditional wedding sublime when foreigners (even Japanese) stands on the side of the road with their photo-machine in their most casual/leasure dresses. Is this OK for you?

Is Japan in any imediate danger of losing it's rather unique culture? I think not, nothing to fear here!  |
I wasn't sure because the last few decades brought a lot more changes everywhere; in the past there wasn't this big gap between traditional and average life-stile, so I'm glad to hear if it's not a problem there, but I can assure you, it is in many other country.
Sorry I can't really explain this I'm not that good in English, I hope you understand it anyway.
