Do you call this English? Have you finished elementary school?

And why would you want to become a Japanese citizen? It won't make you more Japanese, and without a job, home, or lover in Japan, you've got no reason to lose your original citizenship (dual-citizenship is better anyway). With your language skills, I doubt your handlers let you leave the house, much less go to Japan - so if you've never been, what makes you think you want to live there?

How to get dual -citizenship? =) It would be nice to get that xD but first I need to end school

Marry a Japanese or live there long enough.

But once again, I don't see why people want Japanese citizenships. It won't make you more Japanese, I promise :P If you're still obsessed with Japan, focus on getting into the country, visiting it, etc. to see if you like it. I like Wales but I'm not trying to become a citizen because there is no reason to

The criteria for naturalization are provided in Article 5 of the Nationality Act:

Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more
At least 20 years old and otherwise legally competent
History of good behavior generally, and no past history of seditious behavior
Sufficient capital or skills, either personally or within family, to support oneself
Stateless or willing to renounce foreign citizenship


no dual

Well then, that's a wrap! All or nothing if you want to become a citizen

Japan doesn't allow dual-citizenship, iirc.

Edit: Never mind. I just noticed someone else mentioned this already.
