Why would a Japanese person not be able to give a more in depth answer? I’ve only lived in my country all my life yet I could easily talk about the differences from the rest of the world.
They might, but Japanese are in general not too familiar with how life is outside of japan due to the language barrier, and usually on TV the most you'll see is foreigners reacting to how it is in Japan, but so far the only TV show I know of where they travel abroad is ItteQ, but it focuses more on the comedians.
Oh are Japanese still largely TV driven? Here in Australia most people consume media online.
I would say it is more TV centric, with the aging population and everything.
But even on the internet, besides the major platforms like YouTube, Facebook, X, etc, Japanese tend to visit Japanese websites only. Even on these major sites, the feed is all Japanese, so I definitely think japan is a bit removed from the rest of the world.
