JAPAN EDGE- Exploring Japan News, Culture and Beyond with Local Perspectives and Analysis
JAPAN Is Shrinking AND Aging!!
In this episode, we delve into Japan's demographic crisis, where a declining birthrate and aging population pose significant challenges. We explore the government's latest attempt to address this issue with a new bill.
We will also examine the population disparities across Japan, focusing on the concentration of residents in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures, and the struggles faced by rural areas.
I hope this episode will provide you with insight on the complexities of Japan's demographic dilemma.
Opening & ending song for today's episode:

The above link will take you to the trailer of the latest movie of "DORAEMON", for which this song was created. It runs on the end-roll of the movie. It's so fitting to the story of the movie. This, by the way, was one of my favorite DORAEMON movies.
Enjoy!
