1) I think you mean seppuku. Sudoku is a kind of crossword with numbers. Still, if things get really desperate, the Japanese have been known to commit Pachinko.

2) Don't think Japan is too worried about East Asian or other culturally compatible migration - there have been Korean and Chinese communities in Japan for centuries. Importing millions fo muslims or hindus is quite another matter.
Agreed. I don't get what the fuss is about this new lady. She seems fairly reasonable so far. I wonder if she has ties to the Moonies or some other churches/cults though.

She implies diplomatic relations with China gets under her skin while sending letters to ROC President Lai. If I remember she also said Japanese troops may be sent to Taiwan. I don’t consider someone openly stirring up a world war as reasonable.

The insular mentality historically didn't work well for the Native American, African, or Amazonian tribes either.
If natives are as anti foriegner as Chinese they would have lived. But instead they mingled and adopted their religion, and those are the first one to go. The one that fiercedly resisted lasted til 19th century. All your examples only prove you more wrong.

Worked for them for centuries and as with all things. It too came to an end. Worked for China as it expanded southwards absorbing new people. Just like with the cavemen analogy, entire human civilizations was formed by several groups coming together not by being scared little frogs in the well.
Romans thrived for centuries before they started mass import foriegners. Not saying there needs to be complete racial purity, but anyone you incorporate must be assimilated one at a time, in no world should they keep their identity. That goes out of window if you import them en mass, fail to convert them in time.

China imported barbarians in Tang dynasty, that ended them, until the barbarians are driven out. Bad example. Modern PRC dominated the barbarians and incoprorated them through total Han majority domination. It never would have worked out if Han was say 40% of the population, or 60-70%.

Not saying your must have X gene to be Han, but it was the accumulated centuries of slow conversion of identity. Absorption is the key word. And absorption can only happen with total domination and a vast majority culture.

If frogs in the well like you were dominant in stone age, we would still be living in caves. Imagine going „we don‘t want anything to do with other cave cultures to form a village“, „we hate those villagists“ etc.

In a hundred years or so when you look back, those little frog in the well cultures would have reduced to nothing (already happening because of demographic problems) and the dominant cultures would be the ones that can absorb new people and grow bigger.
They are importing hundreds of thousands of immigrants from India, Pakistan and recently Africa. If they were to accept a limited number of highly skilled workers from those regions, it would've been fine. But such numbers, and of low-skill workers at that, that is No Bueno.

You probably don't know what these people are like, I do. And let's just say, they are extremely incompatible with Japan. It is not about Religion or such. Most core values are universal: Islam, Christianity and Buddism basically agree on what is good and what is bad. The main problem is culture: an amalgamation of "traditions" and "mindset", a view on how one should live his/her life. That's where a VAAAASST difference exists.

Those people from the aforementionned regions will form communities on their own, especially with their numbers, interbreed and eventually outnumber the Japanese in Japan with their much higher fertility rates. If you thought Europe and US were bad, you'd be in for a nasty had Japan continued on the same trajectory.

In theory, importing south east asians should be fine but, I'll be blunt, everyone knows at this point that no one hates Asians more than their neighboring Asians. This is especially true for Japan, so consider me skeptical.

It seems, to me at least, that the Japanese will have to accept and adapt to a lower standard of living. What they previously attempted to do risked wiping out their civilization over time. Such is the fate of western Europe, unless a giga bloodbath occurs.

The Japanese's natural aversion to foreigners might've saved them, but we'll see. A dramatic drop in living standards might also push them into a neo-sengoku jidai. Old habits die hard after all, we've seen that recently with the assasination of Abe.
