Through the interviews from those both raised in Japan, and raised abroad, this video also explores how Japan is changing as a country, and a culture. It asks the question, is Japan drawing closer to becoming multicultural?

Great video documentary.
This was really interesting
You don't have to change your name when you become Japanese. Also, they have one of the easiest ways to become a citizen in the world. 5 Years residence under any visa, no language test, no history or culture test, no singing the national anthem, etc. Countries in Europe or China for example have far stricter policies.
The mixed Filipino guy can pass as a ハーフ。お母さんが日本人だと言って日本人としてなりすましたらどうですか。
でもこのアメリカ人の双子はハーフでもなくて完全に白人なので日本人としてのアイデンティティを持つ必要はないです。定住者のままで結構です。
アメリカ人の双子は日本が二重国籍を認めて欲しいと言っているが、蓮舫の二重国籍疑惑の理由で日本は国籍法を二重国籍を認める様に緩和出来る様にならないです。貴方はハーフでもないので絶対日本国籍は取得出来ません。
Military kids should be going to American schools that satisfies the requirements for the American public school curriculum do that when the tour is over, the kids could have a smoother transition in living back home stateside.
Tim のお父さんが日本人だったら、貴方は二重国籍を持っているのです。日本のパスポートを申請する権利はあるのです。

These are questions should be answered by the parent, a spiritual anthology or a religion,; no, not by a culture, skin color or citizenship. It doesn't matter if you grew up on a space station or on Mars!
