    If these people get elected watch Japan’s demographic crisis greatly worsen.

    Japan is not known for having any/many immigrants, as it is. Expats generally avoid it for high cost of living.

      I was an expat living in Japan during the pandemic. I actually think they have great cost of living. My apartment in Osaka was like $575/month for a very modern place. Food is more expensive in the states but you really don’t need a car.

    MJGA movement except it’s not ‘Japan First’ it’s ‘Japanese First’ and all the animosity is directed at the Chinese. No way this is backed by the CIA lol.
