They industrizlied/modernized very fast after the Meiji Restoration, they did in a couple of decades what other countries did in a century more or less, for example Mexico tried to improve and renovate its economy since the 1850's but it didn't really achive what Japan did until after the Mexican Revolution or maybe even until the 1920's, other countries fared an even worse societal collapse, Japan was the only non-Western country to be really industrialized for a long time.

They were the first gooks to recognize the superiority of the West and started to emulate them.

Pure Asian resilience combined with good knowledge of how modern economics work.
Also they export their culture extremely successfully. America imposed it's popular culture after WW2 by monopolizing it (strictly speaking, that's why everyone in the world knew out who Walt Disney was but no one had enough money to rival him) which was successful but unnatural, while Japan does the same simply because people find stuff like ninjas, giant robots, anime, manga and video games endearing and no one does it like Japan. Also they make great electronics.
And their strict anti-war policy made them one of the most beloved countries in the world (except East Asia, but that's a different story). Basically, everyone loves Japan and everyone loves everything Japan does. They're going for that cultural victory, and they're doing it exceptionally well.

They did. It's something very few countries I'm aware of managed to do. They follow the tradition when it's appropriate (and sometimes even when it's not), their youth don't pretend like their own heritage is somehow embarrassing or anything like that - they take pride in it, in fact.
That's why you'd see stuff like girls wearing yukatas on a festival, people playing taiko in the arcades, or just this:

Ethan Reed
You don't get back home at 1:00 in the morning, crawl into bed and wake up again at 7:00 in the morning.
Jayden Morris

>The Nippon Kaigi (日本会議, "Japan Conference")[1] is a Japanese nationalist unincorporated association that was established in 1997 and has approximately 38,000 members.[1][2][3] The group is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Japanese government through its affiliates.[2][4] Shinzō Abe, LDP politician, serves as a special advisor to the group's parliamentary league
>Following the 2014 reshuffle, 15 of the 18 of Third Abe Cabinet members, including the Prime Minister himself (as 'special adviser'), were members of Nippon Kaigi.

>Fusosha Publishing Inc. said on its website it had decided to remove the contentious part from the modified version of the book “Nippon Kaigi no Kenkyu” (“A Study on the Japan Conference”), and sell it as a “measure for the meantime,” in response to the Tokyo District Court’s decision last Friday.

Yakuza is virtually non-existant nowadays. System is better off being corrupted by itself.
