> It's experiencing Japanese deflation for 20 years.

GDP per capita (PPP) in Japan has more than doubled over the past 30 years. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...

Slow growth is only a problem if you rely on investing to generate your income. Otherwise, even no growth at all is fine.

Have there been any major issues with declining QOL in Japan? It might be a cultural barrier but aside from the deflation stories making the rounds, I don't hear much about them suffering because of it.

They probably don't and economic analysts are probably just bad or lying.
