	Japan Media Review -- Japan's Ethnic Media: Little Fish in Big Pond Reach Out to Expats
		According to statistics from the foreign resident registration records of the Ministry of Justice, the number of registered resident foreigners from 1976 to 1980, albeit rising, was in the 700,000 range, and crossed the 800,000 mark in 1981.

	Issues & Views:Japan for the Japanese
		Japan faces economic catastrophe, the argument goes, if it does not import at least 17 million new immigrants by 2050, therefore, the nation must drop its aversion to foreigners, in order to "restore demographic equilibrium." Cultural equilibrium, however, matters nothing to the newspaper correctly tagged as the Mother of Multiculturalism.
		Japanese who visit the United States are appalled by what they find here: ethnic politics, bilingual education, ballot papers in Chinese, racial preferences, interpreters in hospitals and courtrooms, jail-house race riots, foreign criminal gangs, etc. They wonder if millions of aging American whites can really count on fls and browns to pay for their retirement.
		Japan, which for generations considered itself the safest place on earth, is in the middle of a crime wave.

	Japan Media Review -- Japan's Ethnic Media: Brazilian Newspapers Evolve With Community
		According to Kamata, "As the community changes within Japan (especially as the number of years of residency increases) and the readers' demands themselves evolve, each press is attempting by trial and error to respond." One of the revolutionary changes came with the educational column in June 2001.
		In the beginning, there was absolutely no information regarding living in Japan as a Brazilian, so the bulk of questions were simple questions regarding living in Japan and the rest were questions concerning work, such as labor conditions, visa applications, etc. In other words, most questions asked were those that could be simply answered.
		When the length of stay for Brazilians in Japan increased and issues with children's education arose, the IP was able to make space for these issues as well as diversify according to one's locality of origin, social status and age group.

	Migration in Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During Japan's economic development in the twentieth century, and especially during the 1950s and 1960s, migration was characterized by urbanization as people from rural areas in increasing numbers moved to the larger metropolitan areas in search of better jobs and education.
		Despite the benefits of experiencing life abroad, individuals who have lived outside of Japan for extended periods often faced problems of discrimination upon their return because others might no longer consider them fully Japanese.
		By the late 1980s, these problems, particularly the bullying of returnee children in the schools, had become a major public issue both in Japan and in Japanese communities abroad.
