Hi William, As always, the art is spot on satire, but what about you? Many of us who think we have figured things out and can afford to do so, feel a responsibility to posterity and whatever value there is in humanity to have children. When are you going to choose one of those Asian goddesses in your life to mix chromosomes with? I can imagine the radiantly good and talented people they would become.
Japanese women don't want to get married. It is not a family friendly country. They need to make family easier and more fun. Probably once the population drops low enough. Housing will get cheaper and more roomy. That might be enough to make family begin to be wanted again.
The realestate bubble never popped. Land and housing prices remain extremely high due to QE. Once Japan's economy finally hits the wall, you will see families spring from the ashes.
A cultural truism in Japan - Once you get married, the sex goes away quickly - it's only for birthing. Soooooo.... if the wife doesn't want kids, there is absolutely no fucking.
Japanese people aren't really known for being dummies. I've always wondered,,,if Fukishima is really dangerous,,,why they hell they wouldn't be getting farther away from it. I'm no expert on Japan but maybe Fukushima might make people reluctant to have kids. I'd be reluctant that's for ;sure.
Re: having kids, people tend to have fewer if 1) they feel more secure about their income and as such they don't need children to care for them in old age, or 2) they hold a worldview that this life is all there is, therefore why bother wasting years caring for burdensome children?
From what I can see, both of these are in force in Japan. Well, (1) may be going away soon.
Both of these might be modern reason for people to not have kids, but throughout history the number one reason people dont have kids is if they realize they are in captivity and do not want to do that to someone else. Check out animals in zoo's. They may claim to have normal birth rates but it is not "natural" insemination.

Wrong country. Chinese have no problem reproducing worldwide.
May the schwartz be with him LOL :)
My search for a halloween costume is over!
Release the inner chakra!
Thanks WB7 for a great laugh! Reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGj1smf-_vc ( The Woody Allen Sperm scene)
if the major challenge looking forward is jobs and resources, a smaller population ensures greater efficiencies and opportunities.

Have they rejected Abe's sperm for megalomaniac tendencies?
Ban contraceptives and only outlaws will not reproduce.

They have whole smaller rural cities that are turning into ghost-towns.
The kids move away and the old folks are dying off.

Difficult to be an outlaw if you have a bunch of kids you are responsible for.
In any viable society, producing another human being is a responsibility that can't be ignored.
Fuck and run will never be a viable option for more than a very few.

Oh no, there goes Tokyo, Godzilla !

I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.

Are my children Russian or American? No one seems to know.
they are generally pretty smart as people go, but they have a fatal flaw of trusting authority and not questioning it. call it a blind spot.
so when tepco and the government say it's perfectly safe and no reason to worry, they believe it.
reluctance to have kids is not related to fukushima, imo.
Nice whoopee cushion.
Japan is so uptight that they pixelate their porn. Ridiculous...
I saw a Japanese publication with John Kerry's face pixelated! What did they mean?
It means that they thought a clear image of Kerry's face would frighten their children and dogs.
There's a vas deferens between Japan and the USA!
slave vs. master?
So Japan wants to increase the number of its fast breeders? What could possibly go wrong?
