It means westernization on the surface in several aspects such as business, culture, politics, technology, etc.

Japan has a very little experience with immigration compared to other countries even though there are many non-Japanese who were born in Japan. I'm not sure how many naturalized Japanese there are in Japan, but it must not be so many.


I'm also curious why they would want to become a Japanese while there are possibilities that they might have easier life in their home country.
