Ha ha ha, Having 4-5 kids would be ideal, but it takes $$$ to support that many. For me, ideal would be 3-4. God Willing.
Dude you should have 10, 3 wives each lol! I'm sure the kids will turn out as good as their dad.
ha ha ha! 10?! wow! talk about sowing one's oats eh?
ps. how many do you have?
Sorry,I just use the shortened form.Though I don't really see the point in freaking out over a shortened word,I will use the advised one.
@Nihonjin1051 It seems that Japan needs more immigrants & are immigrants really unpopular as the article suggests?
I am still trying to learn Japanese, but I have a good idea of Japanese history, culture, work ethics & politics, would I be accepted as an immigrant in Japan in the future?(Though to be honest, I am not very smart & quick)
Japan's population fell by a record amount in 2014 but the drop was merely a shadow of what lies ahead. The pace of decline is forecast to set a fresh record every year from now until the 2060s.
According to statistics released by the interior ministry, the native population was 126,163,576 as of the first of January, down 271,058 from a year ago.
While the annual decline is already enough to erase a decent-sized city every year, it is set to get much faster.
“Based on our projections, the size of the annual decline will keep getting bigger before peaking somewhere between 2060 and 2070,” said Futoshi Ishii, director of population dynamics at the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.
The pace is projected to reach more than 700,000 a year by 2025 and then rise to more than 1m a year by 2060.
A sliding population is a huge challenge for any business that relies on the domestic market and shows the difficulty of generating growth in Japan’s economy.
One demographic bright spot was a 59,528 rise in the number of foreigners living in the country, which slowed the overall decline to 0.16 per cent, showing the role immigration could play in stabilising Japan’s population.
But while Shinzo Abe’s government has taken some steps to bring in more foreign workers — foreign ski instructors, for example — immigration is still highly unpopular.
Japan’s demographic destiny is writ small in the town of Utashinai, on the northern island of Hokkaido, with a population of 3,833. Last year five children were born and 87 elderly residents died, according to interior ministry data.
Some 208 people moved out while only 93 people moved in, giving Utashinai one of the highest rates of population decline in the country. In a situation mirrored across rural Japan, there are only 339 Utashinai residents aged between 20 and 34, but 1,333 aged over 70.
This disparity highlights another trend in the population data: the continued shift towards the big cities, especially Tokyo. Japan’s capital gained 72,516 native Japanese residents last year, boosting its population by 0.57 per cent.
Hokkaido, the largest faller, lost 31,387 residents to leave a population of 5,431,658. In the northern prefecture of Akita the population went down 1.3 per cent.

Japan’s population decline the steepest on record - AJW by The Asahi Shimbun
This link has an interesting map which shows the change in demographics for some of the prefectures in Japan.
"Following the changes in demographics, the disparity in the value of a vote between the most populous and least populous areas was more than double in 18 single-seat constituencies of the Lower House"

I brought this up before and the reasons behind this, @Nihonjin1051 either missed my post or ignored it. Anyway I do not see a decline in herbivore men anytime soon in Japan.
Japanese men have been effeminized. Unless the Japanese gov.t makes changes to this trend their native population will continue to decrease.Japan's population fell by a record amount in 2014 but the drop was merely a shadow of what lies ahead.
