Extreme debt.

Fortunately it's mostly owned by Japanese nationals with bonds.

the kids grew up and left

Debt.

Abenomics suck

>Anyone remember how Japan was going to be the next superpower?
no

it is still the biggest economic player in the southwest pacific though

Lost Decade and the rise of China. Be interesting to see what happens when their asset bubble goes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_asset_price_bubble

being on a tiny island that isn't capable of holding an ever expanding population and massive amounts of untapped resources

Secular stagnation.

Deflation.

Aging workforce and shrinking labor market.

A massive real-estate bubble, entirely dependent on imports for many important goods and raw resources, aging population that refuses to retire and free up jobs for the younger generations.

Anime... anime happened...

1st world countries hit their peaks already, places like india and china are playing catch up. in the process, more money is torrented to them. they get richer while the 1st world get a tiny bit poorer

capitalism

>What went wrong?
Since 1990 they have basically been doing the same shit that the west has been doing since 2008 and it has totally fucked their economy.

>southwest pacific

Their economy stagnated in the early 90s though. The suffered a lost decade with no economic growth.

The Lost Decade. Look it up, fag. Nobody wants to do your digging for you.

Japan isn't that small, it's much bigger than what maps make it

jews

white wimmen

they started to stop making good anime in the 90s

now it's nothing but moeshit

Oversocialisation and the beginnings of the behavioral sink starting to manifest themselves in the population. Look up the Rat Utopia Experiment.

A Japanese friend explained me some reasons why Japan declined as a nation.

1) They are incredibly racist, do not marry people who are not Japanese, which caused ...
2) a nation of old people, the majority of the population is in its oldest most which brought several consequences ...
3) Fewer people working, fewer people invest money and less people spend money.
4) is a workoholic nation, which made less people interested in getting married, so now every day they have fewer children

>Their economy stagnated in the early 90s though. The suffered a lost decade with no economic growth.
Same you have from 2008. There have been no growth other then on the stock market.

With the system we have today its necessary to let things crash and burn if you want to have a real recovery. Now they just piled on debt on more debt to stop the crash with the result of never having a recovery instead.

They were forced to open their financial markets in the late 80s, letting the Jew in.

What the fuck is this Merlini?

Pretty much
It's looking like every country on globalization is on the path economic prosperity but self-genocide
It's like a big bright star, flaming itself out

Japan is bigger than Germany. There's a lot of room for cities just no room for farms (like that matters anymore, Canada and The States basically feed the world)

1970 and 1990 oil crash.
Their manufacturing sector was too investment reliant and not diversified enough and when the (((petro dollar))) crashed it also crashed Japan.

not marrying non-japanese doesn't cause old people, not having kids causes a nation of old people
