I hope you're joking. Indonesia are doing just fine with over 230 mlllion for a country made of several islands, a country that has gone through political turmoil and rapid changes of their own. OK, Indonesia is not Japan in terms of economical power right now, but still.
On the other hand, South Korea are currently holding 50 million people in a surface area less than a third of the entire land surface area of Japan. I don't see them complaining of overpopulation as a hindering factor to the economy. I don't see what it has to do with Japan here.
