I would say without question there is no basis in fact for the above sentence. I agree with a lot you say, RealJames, but I think it is viciously short-sighted to say Japanese do not have close or deep relationships like North Americans do.
YOU may not have deep relationships with Japanese people, but that doesn't mean Japanese people do not have such relationships with each other.
I am surprised you made this statement, really.

I'm kind of surprised too when i see it quoted in your post,
i said it based on my observations of my gf, her brother, and a few other people's friendship dynamics and the role those friendships play in their lives
they certainly have deep and strong friendships, just fewer, with less frequent visits and at a lower relative priority to other parts of life,
my friendships aren't that bad actually but it took some training lol,
just my observations of other peoples friendships though
