Hopefully whoever succeeds him, will continue to protect Japan from immigration which would prove bad and will get the full revision to Article 9 that he wanted. A ton of progress has been made already to bring Japan's military to glory again in terms of their equipment. The Howa Type 20 is a welcome replacement for their 1989 rifle. They can finally mount accessories to rails like the Colt M4 series.
Your lack of understanding of Japan's current economic situation shows strong through.
Anyone who's been to Japan in the past decade can tell you that their immigration system has effectively stifled significant economic growth and their aging population is showing through.
I was there in December and I can tell you that you don't see kids. Those very few parents that you see are easily in their forties or late thirties. The country is on the verge of total demographic collapse within the next two generations.
OTOH, aren't lack of space and overprized real estate also a major problem in Japan? Wouldn't a potential population decrease also have benefits in that regard?
