A recent public appearance of Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp has caused a stir in Japan, as Depp was spotted wearing a ring that cost only 300 Japanese Yen ($3). The inexpensive accessory has gone viral on social media, with companies expressing both surprise and admiration for Depp's modest choice in an industry often characterized by extravagance. The event took place in Tokyo, though the specific date and event are not disclosed.

In Japan, both celebrity culture and frugality are highly valued. Johnny Depp's choice of a budget-friendly accessory resonates with the Japanese ideal of modesty and simplicity, often seen in their minimalist design aesthetic. It's not uncommon for well-known figures to use their influence in promoting values socially relevant, and in this case, Depp's choice also challenges the extravagant trends commonly associated with Hollywood.

In contrast, while Hollywood celebrities are also often admired for their extravagant lifestyles in the US or EU, the media sometimes criticizes these opulent displays, particularly in periods of economic downturn. Frugality among celebrities, while appreciated, is not as culturally significant as it is in Japan.
