Not an expert of Japanese culture or anything, but I don't think Japan has been affected by the excess of Western capitalism in quite the same fashion. It may be consumerism, but tempered with the importance of self-control that is common among Asian cultures. The West has no qualms with over-consumption.

Well if you count corrupt Marxist media as capitalism then yeah capitalism.
