Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

You should pay consumption tax and taxes to Japan and contribute to the economy and welfare of Japan before saying you are in favor of dual citizenship.

Yes, I think it would be better not to claim too many rights as a person who does not pay taxes in Japan.　Also, I am afraid that if dual citizenship is allowed, people from other countries might be able to become Japanese.

If you can get benefits just by paying the minimum health insurance fee, which also makes you pay taxes, then it's a win-win situation
And when you shop in Japan, you can show your US passport and get a sales tax exemption
It's great!
