 From what I read, they seem OK with that. I think that is the main 
reason they came up with the declaration of choice of Japanese 
citizenship thing. Such a declaration would have no legal power outside 
of Japan, of course.

And as the stories you and others have posted suggest, they really don't 
seem to care that many Japanese people are dual citizens in practical 
fact. But they won't come out and say in so many words that they don't care.
