  1. It is fair to say that declining birthrates and social isolation are global trends.

  2. I think two things are almost certain. Until the mass refugee crisis subsides in the West, Japan will be one of the places where the world's youth spend their golden years. In any country, in the end, family becomes the core of human relationships.

  3. Kanji (Chinese characters) cultural areas are cultural areas where science and technology can be maintained without using English. In a way, it's another planet. This cultural area is a viewing culture rather than a listening culture, so around 30% of Japanese people can understand written English. Japan is a different planet economically, as it is in competition with the newly industrialized countries of Asia and has suffered from low wages and deflation for 30 years. Therefore, systems that tolerate low wages are being built everywhere. Recycle shops, 100 yen shops, flea markets, capsule hotels, manga cafes where you can stay, etc.

  4. Japan is controlled by the government so that people can live on about 130,000 yen a month. This is because many elderly people live on pensions. Therefore, if you save money, you can save 1 million yen per year. Young Japanese people these days are choosing to save up millions of yen and invest in stocks as a way to gain financial comfort in their 30s.
