With Japanese government debt over 180% of GDP, how are they going to afford more social programs from a left-leaning government?
That's not to say that the status quo should have been kept. I hope that this political shift benefits the Japanese and helps them cope with their...Significant..Problems.
Japan could always start building arcologies, and putting their people in them.

2.3sq/km = 1 million people. Build about 10 of 'em, and you fix most of Japan's woes.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
