Japan is a collectivist society, and this tweet is a demonstration of that.

I think a more accurate description would be that they are an extremely hierarchical society that's been greatly influenced by Confucianism. The two can appear similar on a surface level. However, a truly collectivist society cares more about the overall well being of the entire community. While the hierarchical society cares more about everyone serving a specific role governed by a select few at the top of the hierarchy.
