Over the past decade, the number of foreign residents in their twenties living in Japan has doubled, according to recent statistics. This shift reflects Japan's evolving societal and demographic dynamics that have become more inclusive. Despite challenges pertaining to cultural assimilation and linguistic barriers, young immigrants have been showing increased interest in making Japan their home, attracted by opportunities in the country's economy, education, and technological advancement.

In Japan, immigration has traditionally been a sensitive subject due to its historical homogeneity. However, with an ageing population and stagnant birth rate, Japan has gradually opened up to foreign residents to bolster its workforce. This influx of young foreign residents has breathed new life into the country's economic and social fabric, sparking dialogue about diversity and multicultural coexistence.

Similar to Japan, countries in the EU and the US have also experienced substantial immigration. However, the motives often differ. While economic opportunity is a common factor, political instability or violence back home also triggers migration in the west. Likewise, the social reception varies, with the US and EU having broader multicultural landscapes and established immigrant communities, unlike Japan which is relatively new to immigration.
