they're a collectivist society, an ethno-nationalist country, and possibly the most insular nation and culture in history. everyone is pulling on the same rope for the good of Japan, and outsiders are ignored or gatekept out. the thing they hate the most is selfish behavior. stealing, doing drugs, skipping work, etc. that's what tracing and piracy is.
they also have an extreme reverence for Japanese companies and their importance. anything you do to hurt japanese companies or the Japanese economy is anti-social and selfish. You should always support japanese companies, spend money, buy japanese products, and not pirate things. These values are emphasized everywhere in japan.
