according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_fertility_rate
Japan's fertility rate is 1.4, really low. You have to maintain a fertility rate over 2 to maintain a culture. At 1.3 a population would be cut in half in 45 years an in 100 years would be down by 75%. No kids means decline in population, plain and simple, people die every day.
