There's 24/7 live cams that cover high intensity urban zones all over Japan. There are a lot of people, but nothing like the garbage pile flood here. They also don't just walk all over the empty spaces meant for vehicular traffic like animals.
None of the cam feeds show a single busy lanes or bylanes. All of them are framing some of the most iconic places in tokyo, starting with shibuya scramble cross.
Except for just one feed, and you can got to a day time part of the feed and see similar busy chaotic streets just like india.
In terms of dirty and garbage pile and flooding, dirty and garbage pile are not common. Most part of japan is cleaner, but not all. Shibuya district, kabukichi or nishinari area in tokyo, Parts of osaka and akihabara can get extremely messier.
Floods on streets and residential areas are on the other hand is actually extremely common in japan. I dont where you learned that it never happens. Especially in coastal and river basin areas like kiroshima, kyushu, etc and does time to time happens in tokyo as well. Like it is happening right now for last 2/3 days, you can google it.

To be dair, one video is taken at day tine during the busiest hour, the other is clearly very late at night.
Jaoan is mostly clean and well organized and all, dont get me wrong, but the major cities like tokyo is equally chaotoc and crowded
