On account of grim demographic trends and unyielding pressure from the West, Japan may be about to get a lot more colorful, in a manner of speaking, and culturally enriched.
Via Newsweek (emphasis added):
“Japan logged its fewest births on record last year and more than twice as many deaths, according to a new government report, with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba calling it “a quiet emergency.”…
Japan continues to post grim demographic milestones as births decline and its population shrinks. The country’s total fertility rate, or the average number of children a woman is expected to have, fell to 1.15 in 2024 from 1.2 the previous year, despite extensive local and central government incentives, and some of the world’s most generous parental leave policies…
The number of foreign residents climbed to a record 3.6 million as of January 1, representing almost 3 percent of the overall population.
To address labor shortages in sectors such as elder care and manufacturing, Japan has begun easing its strict immigration rules. The reforms aim to triple the foreign workforce by 2040, allowing more workers to stay longer and bring their families.
Japan is not alone in facing such demographic pressures. South Korea, China, and Taiwan are also racing to boost birth rates, fearing the long-term drag on their economies.”
“Improved immigration” is “Japan’s solution to its population crisis.” So sayeth a Zoomer-looking white woman named Becca Faber, who most undoubtedly will not shoulder the burden once Japan is gifted with Our Greatest Strength™.
