Why didn't they ban infertile or elderly people from marrying? Or couples who just didn't want to have kids?Might get some hate for this, but the motherfuckers ain't breeding. If they're not breeding, and people also want to be gay as well, well, the government is going to go into panic mode.
Which, this seems like why they banned it.
..Not sure actually why but I feel like this may be one of the reasons.
Marriage isn't about having kids. Still, by your logic, they should ban any married couples without, unable, or not wanting kids, they should also ban the elderly from getting married. In short, a ban on same-sex marriage isn't going to bring up the birthratesMight get some hate for this, but the motherfuckers ain't breeding.

Then why pick on the gays, or anybody for that matter? Same-sex couples also do raise children sometimes.Then you'd be banning most of the country, I guess.
It's been done many times, before anyone cared about gay people.Because to accept gay marriage, the culture not only has to be accepting of gays in the first place, but also accepting of the DEFINITION of the word marriage being changed, rather drastically.
To be fair, most people just pretend there was no history before rampant Westernization.It's been done many times, before anyone cared about gay people.

(OECD = developed countries, basically)But working doesn’t mean that these single mothers are doing well, economically. The poverty rate of single parent-families where the parent is working is 56 percent, which is also the highest in the OECD.
However, in comparison to Western nations, Japan’s capital stock was significantly lower, especially given the size of its population. Again over the next several decades Japan managed to create a capital stock equal to the advanced nations by 1985. This was done by elevated levels of investment. Between 1960 and 1985 the average annual private investment rate was 35.1 percent, a full four percentage points higher than Germany, nearly 10 above France, and 14 above the US and UK. In fact, even compared to the rest of the countries in the table, Japan’s private investment rate was second only to Singapore.
src: https://books.google.com/books?id=Mo2QBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA19Minami (1994) provides an excellent analysis of the importance of capital formation and investment in Japan’s economic success story. Unlike the experience of many other Western nations that were latecomers such as Australia, Canada, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who achieved industrialization at a later stage than other advanced Western nations, Japan did not develop its capital stock by importing capital from abroad through net imports of foreign capital: Japan relied almost exclusively on domestic savings to finance the capital investment (Ibid., 152-53). Of course the high household savings rate in Japan compared to other nations was the main feature which allowed this.
Not all western countries. U.S. has Japan beat when it comes to crazy work hours.Japan, progressive?
Lets see.

The thing is, we kind of love them for it though... (Own culture)
They all don't wanna have kids until they are almost too old, that's the problem. Not gonna lie, I think they probably find it dishonorable (like many things) it's a weird part of Japanese culture. Gotta remember many of their citizens if they don't get a job feel dishonorable so they never leave they're house, or they commit suicide which also in Japanese culture is pretty much fine if you did something to dishonor yourself or your family.Or couples who just didn't want to have kids?
