#Because the next time you can't renew it.
If you can't renew your Japanese passport in the US,
you will go to Japan to renew it.

Even if you choose only good Japanese and US laws

＃ the consulate has no right to refuse to issue a Japanese passport to someone who is declaring his/her choice.
You can renew your Japanese passport because you still have your Glynn card.

Once you attend and complete the swearing-in ceremony, return your Glynn card and receive your Certificate, you are now a US citizen.
If you renew your Japanese passport in the U.S.,
you will not be able to renew it because you will need a valid visa proof for your stay.

You mean you are a legal dual citizen.
You can't just show both passports, Japanese and American ？.

What Toby here is talking about is a crime, and even if you could, you shouldn't....　The country of Japan does not recognize dual citizenship, so when you acquire American citizenship, you " automatically lose your Japanese citizenship already".　Therefore, entering Japan with that passport is a crime of forgery.　It is the same level as entering Japan with someone else's passport.　And the same crime is different in severity between an ignorant crime and a deliberate crime.　Note that these days entry and exit from Japan is computerized, so there is a possibility that your history will be kept.　Personally, I think it is too risky because the Japanese government does not give citizenship to criminals when they want to become naturalized in Japan in the future.

You can only go back to Japan with a Japanese passport, so why don't you just use a Japanese passport instead of whining about it
If you think that's a risk, don't go back now
At this point you may get lucky, and who knows what will happen?

I have just returned to Japan, so here is a post-mortem report. I bought my ticket the same way I did before the Corona disaster, i.e., with an American passport, and then I could enter and leave the U.S. with my American passport and enter and leave Japan with my Japanese passport. In the past, I have been asked to show both passports at the check-in counter, but this time I showed only my Japanese passport at the American check-in counter and only my American passport at the Japanese check-in counter. Maybe the passport information at the time of passport purchase and the passport shown at the check-in counter do not have to match. I thought that perhaps as long as the names matched, it would be fine. As an aside, entering Japan was really simplified! It was like it took 15 minutes from the time the plane arrived to the time we left the airport. Coming back to the US is almost like a coronary disaster. The number of infected people in Japan is increasing, but I felt that the world is slowly returning to normal. However, in Japan, masks were worn almost 100% of the time, even outdoors. On the other hand, in izakaya (Japanese style pubs), people ate, drank and chatted without masks in super close proximity. I was a bit tempted to ask myself if it is possible to get infected at an izakaya.
