The year is 2050. USDJPY = 500. debt/GDP = 1,000% . Interest rates are at -2%. Noone in Japan speaks English because foreign teachers are not affordable and AI translates it for you anyway. Everyone has a at least one virtual anime girlfriend/boyfriend. Birth rate is almost 0. Japanese companies have humanoid robots to operate fax machines and dance like idol groups. They also sometimes sprinkle moe-moe love magic on your coffee. That was the result of 80 trillion yen spent on DX (digital transformation) projects. There are more humanoid robots that look like high-school kids than actual high-school kids. The #1 and #2 mobile games by revenue are Monster Strike and Puzzle & Dragons and they have 23,495 characters obtainable via gacha. The top ten music artists by revenue all have names that end in 48 or some number close to 48 even though that number has nothing to do with anything.

So long as Japan continues to have anime and maid cafes the supply of English teachers, who can be paid in yen and a resident visa, will never dwindle.
It’s already happening.
The way the Japanese yen is going, I predict that Japan will become a destination for cheap sex holidays like Thailand and the Philippines.
The year is 2022. You could live there.
So…..
Still no GTA 6 or….?
