Its the same for all East Asian countries as well, but I guess slapping JAPAN on it means fast upvotes, like that "Place, Japan" meme.

Hey… it sorts properly alphabetically
Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.
Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting

Military be like 23/NOV/2023
It makes sense to either go general to specific or specific to general. MM-DD-YYYY is neither.
TIL that I'm Japanese
China does this too. I love getting files in this format.
Reiwa era enters the chat
Most of Japanese hates the arbitary currender year resetting at each new emperor enthronrment. The conversion is ass and no one knows when it changes (bound to emperor's health) . Worst is its official year that govmt body accepts.

How about 0xYYYMDD or 0xYYYYMDD if you need years after 4095 for some reason.
Today is 0x7e7b16

YY/MM/DD SUPREMACY
Don't ask how they count the years tho
Yeah but half the time is actually: EYY/MM/DD. Like this year is 令5/MM/DD.
And some years have two values, 2019 was both 平31, from 01/01 until 04/30, then 令1 from 05/01 onwards.

The truly enlightened interleave the numerals: YMD/YMD
The UK driving licence has birthdate as YMMDDY in the licence number. Totally uncrackable encryption.
Japan I can get behind but MM/dd/yyyy is just evil, why would you sandwich days between months and years? You monster
