Japan "could effectively disappear by 2200 as a nation."

In 700 years, "there will be no more Japanese."

"Japan will perish by about 2056 because men are refusing to have intimate relationships with the women."

"The country's population will be just 500 by the year 3000, and just one by 3500."

"Within the next 1,750 years, the Japanese people could be no more."

"Japan may become the first country to become extinct due to the declining birth rate."

Will Japan's Population Go Extinct?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced his complete and total endorsement of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi ahead of Japan's snap election on February 8, 2026. Trump stated he would welcome Takaichi to the White House on March 19, 2026.

Opinion polls indicate Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party, could secure around 300 seats in the 465-seat Lower House. This would represent a significant increase from their current razor-thin majority.

Takaichi's proposal to suspend the 8 percent sales tax on food has unsettled investors, contributing to a sell-off in Japanese government bonds and pressure on the yen. The tax suspension would cost an estimated 5 trillion yen in annual revenue.

In November, Takaichi stated that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could pose an existential threat to Japan, triggering the biggest diplomatic dispute with China in over a decade. Beijing has maintained a persistent campaign against her following these remarks.

Takaichi has gained significant popularity among younger voters through social media, with approval ratings ranging from over 50 percent to over 80 percent for people in their 20s. Supporters have been purchasing items she uses, including her bag and pen.

Record snowfall in parts of Japan has already claimed 35 lives and prompted stay-at-home advisories, potentially affecting voter turnout in Sunday's election. This marks Japan's first mid-winter general election in more than three decades.
