well a decling birthrate is often not good but in japans case do i think it is good so that they can take in more people from diffrent cultures wich they are currently lacking acording to his article and other things i have read so that they can make better things and maybe not be a normal country like all the rest (becasue i like japan and what they are doing by being special. yes i am looking att the VN's cuddle cafes,maid cafes and well you name it) i am more saying that they need to be open to add other things in there lands "not remove add"
