What will happen to Japan in 100 years?

 

ie... manga, anime, family, work, relationships, technology, computers, AI, art, etc

[Leo Gura]

They will all turn into robots who sing karaoke

The country will disintegrate due to sex robots and/or virtual sex machines. Japan won't be the only ones, but I think younger generations of Asians are more susceptible to this behavior, you can see it already happening. Technology will just accelerate the problem.

@Leo Gura don’t forget the mass orgyies

I am currently living in Japan, though in a smaller city & I've been travelling all across Japan this year. You'll see online articles and reports of men and women not being interested in each other and yes you'll see video's on Youtube of strange men falling in love with robots etc. But these oddities are not reflections of the whole country. If you are into tentacle porn manga or obsessing over young female singing idols at age 40 you are not considered "cool" in Japan, actually they will view you as a man child or a little bit fucked up in the head. 

From what I've seen, I see young people wanting the same things as in western countries. They want careers of their choosing which gives them freedom & excitement, they want to spend time in their hobbies, they want to travel abroad, they want the best partner and may or may not want to get married and have kids. I agree there is still this more traditional ideal of women being housewives and wanting to rely solely on a man, but in talking to a lot of young women they express to me issues in the fact that they are pressured to go along with everything their boyfriend's think is right and find can't express their opinions. The more conscious men I meet have very happy and healthy relationships with their partners. Actually most western self help books are translated into Japanese such as Men are from mars, women are from venus and they seem to be popular. 

In regards to the articles saying that men are no longer interested in women, the issue seems to be that women want to get married and have children and then rely solely on their husbands income. Since Japanese people work so many hours the man might have to work 70 hours a week just to make enough for the family to survive. I don't think it's that men literally don't want to be with women, it's the fact that they don't want to put themselves through working ridiculous amounts of hours for the next 40 years just to survive. I know men in their 40s who never decided to settle down and get married and instead just spend time on their hobbies and dating younger women. 

I think Japan's future would be more promising if regular citizens could earn more money in their jobs while still only working 40-50 hours a week, have a work life balance and move up to stage green a little bit faster  In Osaka & Tokyo there are elements of stage green arising which is great.
