    I didn't realise you meant tradition Japanese specifically, I 
thought you meant tradition in general. I'd still say Ucchan has a 
traditional Japanese mentality. Whilst she did get her dad to arrange

implications. Her father would have understood everything and engaged 
his daughter into a stronger family ( at the cost of his business ).
