Ok but Google says that 10% of Japanese live in Tokyo, which is still massive but 90% is a ridiculous stretch

Maybe he's referring to the greater Tokyo Metropolitan area? Sounds more plausible at least since it's absolutely massive. Def not for just Tokyo city.

The Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area has a population of 37 million while the country has a population of 125.7 million. While an impressively large percentage, it’s still less than a third (29.4%) of the population of Japan proper.

Fair enough and also insane. Shout out to their public transit there. I stayed there for a couple weeks and it was amazing how easy it was for me to do whatever I wanted without worrying about how to get to places.

Ok I was too lazy to look it up but just remembered that Tokyo had a big part of the population.
