You clearly have not been to Japan. Watching a few MSNBC YouTube videos of the so-called "hikikomori" pandemic does not class you as an expert. Japanese culture has always been about self-sufficiency and hard work. The code of honors being "gaman" - taught by every parent out there.
It's a typical D&C tactic to mention birth rates. As if that's a problem to Japan where it is heavily overpopulated in the metropolitan cities. We've all seen that copypasta:
>oh no, the population is declining.
>who will buy property? I guess we'll just have to lower real estate prices. What a nightmare.
>who will fish our lakes and create landfills? I guess we'll have to watch council rates fall and pollution decrease. What a nightmare!
>who will work unskilled jobs if there aren't enough people to do them? I guess we'll have to increase wages. What a nightmare!!
>with smaller populations comes more tightly knit communities. Who will commit crimes? What a nightmare!!!
>Cheaper real estate, less pollution, higher wages, lower crime... HOW WILL JAPAN SURVIVE!?

It's not like immigrants won't solve a thing. What is automation?
