I have no evidence, but I find really hard to believe that a human society can survive without damage what can only be called a demographic collapse.Japan like a lot of southern and eastern european countries is simply dying.
I think that drop is a bit silly and unrealistic. Even Tokyo has a population of 12 million currently and you're not accounting for the metropolitan area it is a part of (which gets close to 40 million people) or the rural populations of Japan which are about 20% of the current population. Certainly Japan's population isn't going to grow, but it doesn't mean it won't just float around a stable equilibrium point.
