“Ohitorisama” refers to people living and doing things alone and “herbivore men” refers to men who have no interest in getting married or finding a girlfriend. In fact, Japan's “ohitorisama” market is much bigger than Korea's... This led to the development of the third phase of Japan's ohitorisama culture boom, - Internet.
The article below (in Malay, from Tinta Minda) talks about how the concept of 'Ohitorisama' helps Japanese survive Covid-19. The Japanese art of doing it alone. Alone together. Interesting point of view.
