Also, Japan needs to be more multicultural in many ways, accepting large foreign cultures to the other countrries and accept these foreigners in to their society.

I don't disagree with the logic behind that at all, but you're confounding "this makes the most sense from my viewpoint" with "[they] need to do that".

Thinking about she was intending to stay in Japan to marry Japanese person and even doing something illegal stuff.

Hey there, i wonder how Japan will ever start accepting immigrants? There are some people who loves anime/manga and video games fans who wants to live and work in Japan, because Japan has a population declining in recent years. Japan's government should lets immigrants who are obessed with Japanese culture, why Japan wants to keep their country as a homogeneous for no reasons.

I knew about the change on Japan's immigration policies through the news outlet, but these types seems to be pretty all lie to me. Because Japan always tend to let these foreingers stay at least 5 years before leaving. Japan policy makers are even rectulant to use the word "immigrant", instead they use the word "entrants" or "guest workers".

I am hoping for new generations to take the political measures and accept immigrants, since the newer generations are more opened to foreigners then the older generations are.

I know there is a one foreigner who works for the Pokemon based in Japan is James Turner, an graphic designer from UK works for The Game Freak, the video game company responsible for the Pokemon franchise.

Under the decision featured in the outline of the government’s economic and fiscal policy, the new status will be accorded to those who will work in sectors suffering from acute domestic manpower — including agriculture, construction, shipbuilding, lodging services and elderly nursing care — after passing skills tests in each sector and Japanese language exam. The maximum term of their residence will be five years.

The government maintains that its decision on the new visa status is not a policy to accept immigrants — against which opposition remains strong within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Along with the maximum five-year limit on their stay, the workers under the planned visa status will not be allowed to bring family members to Japan — although the government is reportedly considering giving workers on such status a chance to gain the status for workers with professional expertise — who will be free from such restrictions — if they have obtained higher skills.

Well, that's alright though. I wonder whenever Japan will began its large scale immigration, i hope it will impact through 2020 Summer Olympics.

Here is some articles from Quora:

Even as it takes this new step, however, the government faces competition from other advanced economies in the region with similar demographic profiles. A 2014 report by state broadcaster NHK found that many prospective guest workers from Vietnam and Myanmar preferred to go work in either South Korea or Taiwan because those countries’ guest worker visas allow more flexibility, with longer stays and the possibility of returning for a second time.

This are not only in Japan. Other Asian countries like South Korea and China are also very ethnically homogeneous nations and not very receptive to immigration.
And have many restrictions also.

Also measures to increase the birthrate but that ones are not working so far.

Why is this News worthy? Just because some Girl faked Marriage? Has Japan nothing else to report? Is she famous?

So i'm thinking that Japan could follow the same footsteps as Korea and China to allow more migrants, mostly from African countries, where the birthrate in African is higher than any countries and also known to have the youngest population in the world.

And i don't know if robots can solve the labor shortage in Japan, because robots can't do anything tasks that humans can do.
