Well, lets face it.If Japan is so reluctant to accept Chinese/Korean/Other Asians, whose appearance and culture are perhaps much closer to its own than other countries, it will only be harder for it to embrace the rest of the world.

It is pretty much like Asians in US sometimes being called as perpetual foreigners, even if some of them might been in this continent for generations.

Assume Japan is ever going to change its immigration policy, it will surely starts from developed countries and its neighboring states. But as I said in the above comment, the charm around Japan is vanishing, so even with a more friendly immigration policy, how much it could help Japan step out of painful declining is questionable.
