Atlus failed to convince young Japanese to stay in their shitty small towns and rural hellholes. It's going to big cities now and forever, right?

Nah, people get fed up of city hellscapes eventually and go back to their comfy, soulful rural towns when they realize being surrounded by 10-100million other people is actually a pain in the ass.

I'm starting to really dislike living in a city.
I would have moved rural if they had good internet and doctors. Having to be moved to a central hospital because of health issues non-treatable at a basic clinic fucking sucks.
I don't think I'd need an emergency help. I'm not old and I'm not a lard whale. Shit Internet is a concern.
>I'm not old and I'm not a lard whale
Yet.
Life is going to come at you fast anon
>if they had good internet
ironically rural areas got gigabit fiber before the cities did

This. I live in Poland and I live in biggest city which has 1.8 million people. I've been to several big cities - New York, London, Paris etc. and I'll never want to live there.
Japan is paying people $7.7k to get the fuck out of Tokyo now, that's how bad it's getting
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/04/business/japan-pay-families-relocate-tokyo-intl-hnk/index.html
You can buy a house in Nagano, which is about an hour train ride from Tokyo, for like a $500 US. And these aren't falling down shit flop houses either. They look really nice. If I still lived in Japan and actually qualified I'd totally jump on it.
>hour commute each way
i'd rather fucking kill myself seriously
I worked remotely when I was there and only occasionally went in, so I didn't actually have to commute. Nagano has some comfy mountains and pretty good skiing in the winters.
i guarantee once japs get over their covid fear it's gonna be back to working in the office 12 hours a day 6 times a week
japs dont commute via car so everything is forced onto public transport, and if you consider tokyo has a population of 14 million and mega anal about punctuality it should be obvious what a bottleneck it becomes
I meant the problem of "Everyone is leaving their home town to live in the big city". Obviously this is a thing that exist outside Japan, but not to the point that entire towns are becoming deserted.
>but not to the point that entire towns are becoming deserted.
Wrong.
If they commuted via car the whole city would choke immediately and nothing would work anymore. There's not enough space on the roads for that many cars.
Atleast you dont stuck in traffic jam for hours
Japanese houses are all shit-tier quality wise, below mcmansion level bad. They're not made for inheritance, they're made to demolish after the owner dies.
>surely, this will not have negative repercussions
Why is this problem so bad in Japan? It isn't that bad in other countries.
Like any other "Japan problem" it's way obverblown.
Other countries are just the same. In Spain, for example 90% of the population lives in 30% of the land (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia).

>Like any other "Japan problem" it's way obverblown.
This. People don't realize this because Japan lacks the truly major issues of other first world nations, that it takes these relatively minor issues very seriously in its own media. The rest of the world picks up on this and thinks it's some kind of huge crisis, not realizing this "crisis" actually exists in their own countries, but their media doesn't care because they have about 10 other more important problems to worry about because they aren't Japan.
this
New Zealand has 5mil pop, 4mil of that lives in 1 city.
Australia, 95% of the population lives in 3 cities on the East coast
Canada nearly everyone lives in Ontario around the Great Lakes
France is worse
Italy is well distributed but still dense since it's so mountainous
Populations tend to condense into urban areas. Something like 80% of American population lives in urban areas and most first-world countries are probably similar. My guess is that Japan is so dense that you don't have space for suburbs around the cities. And rural areas need either farming or industry for towns to be able to exist. You can't just make rural towns flourish, you need to invest in them.
Japs are bugmen that are still wearing masks to this day and follow the hive.
They're wearing masks because of their culture and not wanting to make other people sick on their account. That's just down to basic shit like colds and whatever too, they were wearing masks all the time before covid.
>giving a shit about muh colds
Literal bugmen
they wear the mask because they can't even take sick leave when they're sick
From what I understand it's a little bit of both, they don't want to get others sick and their work culture is so fucked they need to be working as much as possible.
>Japan is paying people $7.7k to get the fuck out of Tokyo now, that's how bad it's getting
Woah...
In China you need a special permit to move to a city, South Korea is even building a new capital city right now because of how overcrowded Seoul is. It's like they all took the scifi hive worlds serious.
>South Korea is even building a new capital city right now because of how overcrowded Seoul is
Also probably so it's not literally on the border with their hostile northern neighbor so won't be immediately overrun if the armistice ever ends.
South Korea has been planning that for over a decade now and they haven't been able to transition out of Seoul.
Indonesia wants to do the same thing and move their capital.
this has been a thing for decades
when i lived in countryside Japan for a few years, there were posters all over the Town Hall offering to pay people $9k to move there and another $9k to have a child.
problem is that in Japan, like 99% of the work/jobs are in Tokyo/Osaka
the only way Tanaka-san is going to get a job in the countryside is if his family hands him down a family business folded over 1000 times
but then poor Tanaka-san cant get his dick wet cuz the only women in his inaka village are 60+ years old
I was going to comment that almost all the big companies are probably located in the cities but I don't know enough about Japan to make that point
the japs are mega slow to change though, if covid never happened they'd still be working in the office 100% of the time with no remote working options so no chance they'll fix this issue in the next 20-30 years
I love america
Damn, all those fast food chains taking up space, but not one good one.
what the fuck is sheetz
Gas station.
It's the black way of saying shits
We have a similar problem in my country
The country itself is way too centralized, everything happends in the capital, the rest of the country is fucked. Little to no job opportunities outside the big cities and a lack of basic infrastructure just makes living outside of the center very difficult
>rural hellhole
I prefer the hustle and bustle myself!
So diverse!
very culturally enriched
cities can rebuild, zack
Theres no colleges or large coporations in rural parts, sucks if you're in a country where the only jobs for non college folk available are cleaning stuff and frying fries.
Narukami probably had to get up at like 5:00 to walk 10 miles to school
open a coffee shop in rural japan
Japan is a crime-ridden shithole. For example, the cops report homicides as suicides hence why their homicide per capita is so low. Read Tokyo Vice by Jake Adelstein and see for yourself how corrupt Japan is or just watch the show.
>japan actually has tons of violence just like my moron filled country. they just hide it all in an insane conspiracy. thats how i know racism isnt real and chud conspiracy theories are fake
Except Jake Adelstein was a journalist who lived in Japan and he was involved with the Yakuza and cops.
Why do you think Japan has such a high "suicide" rate?
a cope as big as
>we just count rape and murder differently that's why us perfect Nordic countries have such high numbers!
mindbroken american?
can't bring up a homogenous contry without you thinking about nigs
homogenous white/asian countries have far less violence and this moronloving gay is trying to say thats false and its a conspiracy by their government. but im the one obsessed with morons
I know, I dont agree with that anon who is being pretty disingenuous. But why does your mind immediately go to nigs?
I guess to be fair to you, they are responsible for a disproportionate and over-represented amount of crime so it's not completely unreasonable
this happens in all countries. there's no economic opportunities in small towns. plus there are less hot girls
