It is not quite fair to Japan because they do have strong pacifist history and somewhat functional communist party (amongst industrialized nations). Personally amongst countries I've visited, I think India is really fucked up with the literal class division among people, income inequality, Hindutva ideology, and a government that ignores its daily embarrassing domestic scandals while saber rattling against all of its neighbors.
Indonesia is also kinda fucked up despite its strong history of anti-colonialism, I guess this is what happened when you have a US-backed literal genocide of the members of once the largest communist party in Asia (literally, the Jakarta method), so there is literally no leftist remaining. Now a military general who committed that genocide is set to be the next President. But at least being a majority and most-populous Muslim country, Indonesia is incredibly pro-Palestine, there's that.
