He is only 61. That's like 11 in Japanese years.

Sad part is... your not far off either.

It's funny Japan has a mandatory retirement policy, however almost nobody in Japan can afford to be retired.  So they get hired back with huge paycuts.

If the Japanese weren't so old on average their youth unemployment would be crazy high.

It's odd that they have such great health care but such poor old-age care.

There healthcare isn't as great as you'd think.  It's largely buoyed by the fact that the Japanese just have a lot healthier culture in general. 

There healthcare is going to get a lot worse too with their aging population... already 3/4ths of the countries hospitals operate at a loss.  Japan is going to need a major tax increase to pay for it eventually.

Luckily for Miyomoto he'll be able to go elsewhere when things get bad for him.
