If you grew up and spent most of your life in your home country how can you expect to "become Japanese"? You can only become a fellow citizen of Japan, but you're not ever going to change your ethnicity or your first ~25 years of life, I'm assuming. Very silly desire.

Well, never mind all that, OP. This has nothing to do with this thread, but would you just listen to me for a little bit? See, I went to the local Yoshinoya today. Right. Yoshinoya. And the damn place was packed so full of people, I couldn't even find a seat. So I looked around a bit, and I found a sign that said "150 yen off". What the hell is wrong with you people? Are you idiots or something? Any other day you wouldn't even think of going to Yoshinoya, but if it's 150 yen off, you all flock in here? It's just 150 fucking yen! 150 yen! And you're bringing the kids too. Look at that, a family of four going to Yoshinoya. Con-fucking-gratulations. And now the guy's going, "All right! Daddy's going to order the extra-large!" Shit, I can't watch any more of this.Yoshinoya should be fucking brutal. Two guys sit facing each other across a U-shaped table, and you never quite know if they'll suddenly just start a fight right there. It's stab-or-be-stabbed, and that's what so damn great about the place. Women and kids should stay the fuck away.Well, I finally found a seat, but then the guy next to me goes, "I'll have a large bowl with extra gravy!". So now I'm pissed off again. Who the fuck orders extra gravy these days? Why are you looking so goddamn proud when you say that? I was gonna ask you, are you really going to fucking eat all that gravy? I wanted to fucking interrogate you. For about a fucking hour. You know what? I think you just wanted to say "extra gravy".Now, take it from the Yoshinoya veteran. The latest thing among the Yoshinoya pros is this: Extra green onions. That's the ticket. A large bowl with extra onions, and egg. This is what someone who knows his shit orders. They put in more onions, and less meat. A large bowl with the raw egg, that's really fucking awesome. Now, you should know, if you keep ordering this, there's a risk employees might write you up. This really is a double-edged sword. I really can't recommend this for amateurs.And you, OP, well, you should really just stick to today's special.

You don't. You could before, I did it, but they're raising the requirements on everything now. I'm glad I got citizenship years ago instead of waiting.Japan is full. We don't want any more people coming here. Take the hint.

The typical path I’ve seen is:1) quit an underperforming life overseas to enroll in language school in Japan 2) fuck around for two years without building the skills or experience to actually stay in Japan 3) as your language school wraps up, freak out and apply to hundreds if not thousands of jobs across Japan 4a) beg employers for sponsorship so you can stay in the country, or 4b) marry a Japanese person to stay in a marriage visa4b is easier for the white gyaru-ish weeb influencers, and desu that is basically how all of them stay in Japan after a temporary working holiday / language school stay. 4b is basically closed off to guys unless you’re extremely attractive and have a very good grasp of Japanese. 4c) both of those fail -> return home after wasting a few years of your life and building nothing tangibleJokes aside, the actual stay is work your way up to director/VP level at a large international company and somehow get the expert visa to be sent to Japan, or built the world-class skills needed for Japanese companies to *want* to sponsor you. This shifts the power dynamic from “gaijin begging companies for sponsorship” to “Japanese companies are actively recruiting an extremely talented foreigner,” but this is also much much harder, is not guaranteed to happen, and would require extensive education (MBA/MS/PhD level), technical or people leadership experience, niche skills Japan demands, and an otherwise extremely successful life abroad which does not at all match with the life otaku foreigners tend to lead.

You'd probably either need to be independently wealthy before going or have some kind of in demand, high paying job to be accepted. They aren't going to give you citizenship if all you're doing is working minimum wage jobs or doing dubious freelance work. > I want to integrate into their society, learn their language You're likely going to have to do these things first, just to prove you're worthy of it. You might also be able to speed up the process if you marry a Japanese woman first , but you'd be hard pressed to do even that if you can't speak Japanese, unless you manage to find a woman who speaks fluent enough English to form a relationship with. There are also some devastating blackpills you may have to swallow regarding modern Japanese women but I won't go into that here.You'd also have to given up your presumably US citizenship to do it too. We had a family friend, white guy, who basically did everything you want to do. He spoke and read the language, married a Japanese woman, had a kid with her, even taught a class on Japanese religions at a college (in the US) and wrote at least one book on the topic, yet he never obtained Japanese citizenship because he still had things to do here.Despite what people here may tell you, I think you should follow your dream. This family friend passed away but I'd like to think he did so after living a happy and full life, doing exactly what he wanted. It will be hard and you might not make it, but wouldn't it be nicer to live with a residency in Japan even if you never make it to full citizen than it is living wherever it is that you live now?

If you wanted to do this you should have done it 20 years ago. Now, the government is closing off pretty much every "easy" immigration avenue, and traditional gaijin jobs like ALT or Eikaiwa are dying because of both AI and a declining market. Your only option these days is a business manager visa (which requires a 200,000 dollar USD investment, physical office space and having at least one Japanese employee hired full time) or be an expert with at least 10 years experience in a very specific, highly demanded field. But of course if you have that kind of experience you'd make more money literally anywhere else except Japan. Marriage is still an option but it's highly scrutinised (as in, you need to prove to the government you have been in a relationship for a while) and even when you get in, it needs to be constantly renewed and you are limited as to how much you can work under a spouse visa so better hope your wife can provide for both of you. It's also worth noting that every single one of these options requires you to be fluent in japanese BEFORE you even get there.At this stage it's just not worth it. Wait a decade or two for Japans economy to collapse due to depopulation and then they'll likely be opening the doors to immigration

I’m the guy who has the more meritocratic POV on immigration (advocating for STEM PhD, MBA, etc.). I get what you’re saying, but to be frank, I’d prefer to have immigrants who *are willing* to do the jobs that Japan needs. It doesn’t matter what your skin color or race/ethnicity are if you’re fine with working as a cashier at a conbini, operating a train, or working on construction and manufacturing. I’d much rather Japan have that than someone who is only an English teacher (endlessly replaceable) or who works as a host.

I'm planning to move there next year and feel good about it. I just wish I'd gotten my shit together and committed to moving there in my twenties instead of my early thirties.Between my savings and a rental property I own in the states, I should be able to live over there without working for a while. I'm going to attend a language school for around a year and try to pass N2 by the end of my time there. I'm still working on my BS in software engineering right now (I'm attending an online failson school), but I should have that done after I've been in Japan for about six months. I figure I'll be a dancing monkey at an eikaiwa or work part-time at a convenience store for part of 2027 and possibly 2028. Worst case scenario, I'll be an ALT for a bit after I get my bachelor's, but I think I could tolerate that for a year or two since I'd have a source passive income overseas.
