Inflation numbers are fibs. Real Japanese have no way to save. They attach themselves to big corporations the same way one would attach themselves to a great samurai house. Nihilism at all time high.

It's inflation. Read The Princes of Yen. The West confiscated Japan's future. This is the result.

Nonsense. How do you explain the low to negative inflation  that has been there since the mid 80's and consistently declining births at the same time.
If anything, the relationship is the opposite, where low births cause population aging and subsequent deflation.

Less is more in Japan

Inflation is the cause of antinatalism, not the Japanese aesthetic, which is nature-like modernism rooted in cultural Shintoism.
