Becoming a Japanese citizen

[Musoka]

Anyone know how to become a japanese citizen? I was just wondering...I know the american way since schools taught me about the government. Do you have to sign up for anything or wait a certain amount of time like immigrants in the us? Do you have to speak fluent japanese?

I think this topic was already discussed before.

Please refer to my previous post here

It's not easy at all..Mostly to weed out the wannabes and idiots. I know only a handful of foreigners who have been granted citizenship, and they say the interview with the official goes mucchhhh better if you're excellent at Japanese...

But in all respect I see very little people, including me, ever becoming Japanese citizens, haha...Even if you become one, you'll still always be a gaijin

And by the way, you *must* give up US citizenship if you are to become a Japanese citizen..

I WANTED IT SO BAD !!

30 years ago when I checked into giving up my US citizenship; I was ready to dye my hair black, where brown contacts, and get my eyelids slanted so I could look the part. The Navy shipped me out before I could apply.
