DA

This.

The Japanese don't even like saying "yes" or "no" directly when it comes to corporate business deals, because either one comes across as too aggressive and potentially offensive. Certainty is seen as an ettiquette faux pas in Japan. Politeness involves being as indirect as possible and relying on cultural cues to get the message across.

Exactly! Expecting Japanese media to be devoid of indirects and ambiguousness when even in business being direct is considered impolite is a proof many people don't really know much about Japanese culture.
