    Overworked, or refusing to work at all. No one’s having sex. Their economy is further collapsing, their population is converging to the point of a death spiral. No one can afford to have a family.

    They still like tech in Tokyo and pump out anime, though.

      That just sounds like South Korea, which AFAIK is doing worse than Japan on most quality-of-life metrics - they work longer hours, have even less sex, population is shrinking even faster and AFAIK the common Koreans aren’t exactly getting rich off it, either.
