Lots of BS here. Once you get outside of the popular areas Japan is pretty run down. I see tons of WW2 era buildings and houses. I was surprised how old and run down Fussa, Japan looked.
Singapore? Lol y'all ain't ever been there I can tell. Your lives are tightly controlled. There is ZERO arguing with police. Owning a car? Lol housing? I believe it's mostly lease hold so you just own the lease. It's mostly built by the govt and it's only 5.5 mil people. Singapore is expensive as hell as well as super small. Very safe, cool to visit for a bit.
