what do the people do that appear to be spending so much? Perhaps you only see a special night out as a tourist.
I think that is it. Having a meal at Michelin starred restaurant in Tokyo and assuming average Japanese live like that… Same thing as foreign tourists visiting New York City and having a meal at a nice restaurant and assuming that is a lifestyle of average Americans.

People working at Roppongi Hills likely do not represent average Japanese. There are so many people working at Chu-sho kigyou (中小企業) and when it comes to number of people, likely that far larger number of people in Japan work for 中小企業 than 大企業.
