He was 67 by modern age reckoning, and 68 by traditional Japanese age reckoning.
What's "traditional Japanese age reckoning"? Do they start counting the age at conception?

It's apparently a Chinese thing that got borrowed by other Asian countries. In this system you start at age 1, and it has fuckall to do with your birthday because it goes up at (Chinese) New Year. No clue why a news article would even mention this unless the writer is some weebtard.
...
So does that make the ACTUAL Japanese age of consent 12? Or 14?

I admit, I don't understand it at all. The only time I see 享年 is in obituaries. I think it is either a Buddhist or Shinto thing because they aren't supposed to use it when a Japanese Christian dies.

They might've as well mentioned his blood type. Or Chinese zodiac. Or that newer Japanese zodiac thing with zoo critters.

There aren't a whole lot of baka gaijins around, and listening to them is the last thing a Glorious Nipponese would do.

Japan doesn't care about anything whito piggus have to say. SJW is nonexistent there.

The Japanese are highly resistant to change.
Are you fuckers daft or ignorant? We're talking about a nation here that changed entirely after allied occupation. They barely have any actual Japanese culture left. It's only a matter of time with them. Resistant to change my ass.

Their fashions changed. Their economy changed. The social shit didn't change as much as you might think.

"Japanese culture" has always been an amalgamation of cherry-picked alien cultures and, in that sense, they haven't changed much and are still resistant to involuntary changes (unless it's an order from now literally God Emperor of US). I'm preeetty sure that's one of the main reasons why they are pretty much immune to SJW culture are muh immigration, and also why some people complain about how racists they are even though its more about culture rather than race (e.g. non tattoo allow in public baths or training gyms, because tatoo = yakuza).

In what way?

In which ways do you consider the Japanese culture to have been supplanted?

Imagine spending a billion US dollars to be a loser. Could've watched animu and be one for free.

Yes. It really started even earlier, and yes, the USA was behind it.

They've looked up to, envied, and emulated the Americans for a long time. I remember in college we were taught about some Japanese Meiji-era politician that advanced the idea of abolishing the Japanese language in favor of English.
