> By which I mean it's non-existing immigration?

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Japan enjoys the advantages of having a civilized, educated, homogeneous, high trust society, and they're not willing to abandon that in exchange of what, low skilled workers they don't need and ethnic conflict?

> Mmmm... the Japanese have problems even reintegrating Japanese Brazilians,

That's no problem of the Japanese, but of the immigrants. They're the newcomers, they're the ones who should be putting all the effort to assimilate into the host culture.

And it isn't happening, not even with descendants of Japanese. Imagine what would happen with a radically different culture (no need to imagine, just look at Europe).

> you didn't solve the underlying cause of why people don't have kids.

Exactly. And the cause is the mutually reinforced effect of capitalist consumerism and feminism.

> Japan needs to bite the bullet and accept immigration as part of its economic strategy.

What strategy?

Getting replaced?

How about we just admit that it's horrible, tear down all those monstrosities and go back to nice classical European buildings like we used to?
