it's a drastic step up in quality of life for all of the se asians and indians over there, but for a westerner it's a bit of a meme. but there are instances where it can be practical as well. an american guy i know there married a jap, worked at a sake distillery for a couple years, opened his own distillery there(with his wife ofc), and plans on eventually moving back to the us to start his own business doing that here. if you're clever you can spend time in contact with a different culture while learning skills that can be applied back home when you decide to get out of japan. this will require money and intelligence, however, which not many 4chan users have, so you won't read any success stories here.
