I'm pretty sure that's not the reason their population is shrinking. It's shrinking because they have few kids and they often live in crowded cities that make having space for kids difficult.

No, it's because Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, not because people are leaving.

From what i read somwhere i was told that japan's population is shrinking and decresing and that in the near future the asian population in the united states is going to more then triple which i assume that more japanese will be coming to the united states due to the shrinking economy and also japan's economy is getting more weaker every year and people are leaving the country more every year.

Asian population in the US is mostly growing because of Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Indian immigration. (Granted by "Asian" people in the US usually mean what we meant by "Oriental", so not India, but the word "Oriental" has become offensive for us Occidentals to use) Probably Korean still matters some too, but as they've rapidly advanced I wouldn't be surprised if their immigration also starts to decline.

You have to keep in mind that Japan's economy is shrinking due to the more elderly and the very low birth rates in the country all those can cause less working people, less savings and no more money for loans as well. japan's economy will continue shrinking in the more years to come which will cause more emigration to the united states in the future.
