Gregory's Server@Ralph "“Visually complex” websites are consistently rated as less beautiful than their simpler counterparts." this sounds like study done in US-only audience group. I recall an article that describes how different "beautiful website" looks for the Japan audience, and author described the possible reasons, partly coming from local typographic and culture traditions.
I remember bright, colorful and visually complex screenshots of Japan websites from that article.

Here is the top site below YouTube. It's pretty busy (https://www.nicovideo.jp/), but the rest are less so (https://tenki.jp/). Looking at the code (using F12) I think they are all basically content servers (like most commercial sites). I think the use of Kanji keeps the sites looking cleaner than English text would.
