Why? They don't allow half their population to subsist off the other productive half, do they?

Its like you think society can run on vibes while its worker base collapses.

When births fall far below replacement, you don’t just get fewer kindergarten classes. You get too few taxpayers to fund pensions, healthcare, infrastructure, and disaster response. Rural towns hollow out. Schools, clinics, rail lines close. Companies can’t hire. Growth slows, then stalls. Meanwhile the share of very elderly people—who deserve dignity and care—keeps rising.

Pointing this out doesn’t mean I’m cheering for mass immigration as a magic fix. Importing people at scale would change the country in ways many citizens never consented to, and it can create new social strains while only partially easing the math.

My worry is simpler and darker: what if the birth rate doesn’t rebound? What if family policy, work reform, and cultural shifts come too late? Then you’re left managing long decline rather than revival.

You can love a nation, want it to remain itself, and still admit the demographic trajectory is brutal. Pretending it’s harmless isn’t optimism; it’s denial.

This is true. But still better to contract than flood the country with third world trash

This isn't a huge deal for most single family properties outside of Tokyo; they depreciate most residential properties so that they're functionally worth nothing after 30 years.

Japan essentially imposes no1 special taxes, reviews, or restrictions on foreign real estate purchases, which is a rarity worldwide. In contrast, countries like Canada, Singapore, and Australia have implemented heavy stamp duties, outright bans, or minimum price thresholds to curb speculative buying by foreigners.

They're trying to control condo prices in Tokyo, which are increasing YoY 15%, largely due to the Chinese buying up almost anything close to "luxury."

There is only world wide minority group that is told that it is not allowed to engage in ethnocentrism.

It doesn’t matter if they protect their culture if there are no longer enough people to ensure its survival

With AI, they might be in a very good position. And they are homogeneous, as said, so they can handle the declining br better than most.

I respect the shite out that.

I don’t care if it’s juuuust AI or what, but the flood of Amelia art , songs, memes etc.. is massive. You don’t astroturf that level & variety of content.

People are loving this stuff & running with it.
