Japan appears to be transitioning from a homogenous society to embrace ‘diversity and inclusivity’ by ushering in “an era of mass foreign immigration.”
It’s set to be a massive change for a country that was still up until recently 97.5% ethnic Japanese, according to the CIA World Factbook.
A Bloomberg report details how rapidly declining native birth rates, an aging society and a chronic labor shortage is fueling the importation of millions of foreigners who “are changing the face of Japan.”
The number of foreign workers in Japan has now exceeded 2 million, a 12.4% increase on 2022. The East Asian country needs at least 647,000 working-age immigrants per year to meet its 11 million worker shortage by 2040.
“Japan is entering an era of mass foreign immigration,” said Junji Ikeda, president of Saikaikyo, a Hiroshima-based agency that sources and supervises foreign workers. “Incremental adjustments will not suffice,” he added.
Under one program alone, 820,000 migrants will be admitted to work in the transportation and logistics sectors, a doubling of the previously agreed number, in order “to make efforts to realize an inclusive society,” according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi.
While the process is being implemented under ‘skilled worker visas’, the actual roles migrants will fill include taxi drivers, bus drivers and factory workers.

The service industry will also be increasingly filled with foreign migrants, who will subsequently be allowed to bring their families to stay in Japan indefinitely.
The Economist reports that a “glimpse at Japan’s future” looks like convenience stores being staffed overwhelmingly by migrants, highlighting “the importance of immigration.”
The news outlet cites one such 7-Eleven store in central Tokyo where “all the staff are Burmese.”

“Gearoid Reidy in an article for the Japan Times estimates that the number of overseas workers has more than doubled in the last decade, while the broader foreign community, which includes children and students, has risen by 50 per cent,” reports the Spectator.
“Reidy envisages a time when more than 10 per cent of Japan’s population will be foreign born, putting the famously homogenous, exclusive, nation on a par with the UK, U.S and France.”
Is Japan finally embracing immigration?

Good luck with that.
At the end of last year, the government announced that crime had risen for the first time in 20 years, a situation native Japanese people might become more familiar with in the coming years.
A BBC News report about Japan’s previous refusal to adopt mass migration highlighted how the country was “stuck in the past,” with that past being characterized as “a peaceful, prosperous country with the longest life expectancy in the world, the lowest murder rate, little political conflict.”
Japan was the future but it's stuck in the past.

Apparently, affordable property prices, “refusing immigration and maintaining the patriarchy,” and the fact that “Japan still feels like Japan, and not a reproduction of America,” is being “stuck in the past.”
However, while importing large numbers of workers, Japan does still seem to be keen to limit foreign nationals claiming to be asylum seekers.
A new system starting in June will give the government the power to deport foreigners who have had their asylum claims rejected multiple times.

(but there were rogue elements in the military who were planning a coup if that happened to prevent a surrender.)
I think Tojo was the main culprit.
Even as early as 1953 there were cracks beginning to develop in the Japanese family. It was nice to see scenes of numerous schoolkids walking to school, but that was the beginning of the end for the Japanese baby boom.
"Tokyo Story" is considered by many to be the best film ever made. I don't know about that, but it was beautifully filmed and moving in parts. No monsters, car chases or superheroes, though.
If the plan is for Japan to commit suicide they will import Muslims.
How different our country would be today.
Because of Tojo's perceived culpability for the fall of Saipan, he was forced to resign on July 18, 1944 - more than a year before Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
A further reason for dismissing him was that the higher-ups in Japan saw him as an obstacle to negotiating peace with the Americans.
In other words: By the time of the atomic bombings, Tojo had been removed from power, had no influence, and was no longer a factor.

Japan's welfare system is not characterized by millions of undereducated, unwed baby-mamas and their criminal broods bleeding the system.
I think that you might be confusing Japan with... some other country.

I’m glad you figured it out... Used an online translator, and had no idea if it was accurate enough.
Nagasaki: With Japan’s largest Christian population.
Immigration will only delay the inevitable extinction of the Japanese race, unless they figure out how to induce women to marry young and have kids (plural, not just one or two)
death throws, cancer at the gate
I always thought biological clues were ways of telling how it should be.
Women should marry in their 20’s. Their youth and beauty gives them the best opportunity to marry the best man they can have.
If they have kids, they take care of them until the child starts to become independent of them. At that point, the father then spends as much time as he can with them to help them gain confidence in the world and they can help him because they’ve become more lively than bread boxes. At this point, the mother can go workoutside the home if she wishes. Although that doesn’t mean that she can’t get training to work outside the home along the way.
Because rhe slow invasion of uncontrolled migration and supremacy of diversity over merit
have done so much to advance life and culture in the USA and western Europe !!!
The father must be the spiritual leader in the home from the day they are born. When he is home he worships God, not men. Loves his wife as he loves himself. That is the rest of the what works story. And the most important part.
I completely agree. That would be part of the time when they follow him around, as well as in the home talking lessons and everything.
Shinzo Abe was unavailable for comment
Japan has a Deep State, too...
If they take in democrat Pygmy cannibals, Tokyo will become Detroit. As long as they take in other Asians, they will be fine. But they absolutely must avoid anything coming from primal ghetto jungles. /spit
If you have info that Abe was assassinated by someone other than a mentally ill person, bring it out in the open, no?
There goes Japan. Sayonara.
Low birth rates are self correcting if the government stays out of it. The problem is they don’t stay out.
