The article is about Tokyo specifically not Japan as a whole.

Japan's population is decreasing but Tokyo specifically is as people migrate to the big cities increasing.

That's weird because the countryside is amazing compared to the ugliness of Tokyo (speaking as a tourist)

One global trend is urbanisation. Partly this is because of jobs, but it's also because of socialisation

I may think that living in a city is horrible, but it seems that even if you take away work people still choose to live in high density areas.
