Meanwhile in the south is the Pearl River Delta of 70 million in an area the size of LA. The cities of Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan and Shenzhen are now contiguous too, at 35 million.
Pearl River Delta is almost 3 times larger than Los Angeles County

The truth is that if metropolitan areas count it should actually be the Yangtze Delta Area and the Pearl River Delta Area, they're more conurbation of several cities than a single one, that's why i haven't included them in the list

Los Angeles County isn't the only county that the Los Angeles metropolitan area is composed of. The most encompassing definition of a metropolitan area the US census uses is the fairly massive Combined Statistical Area which is really huge.

San Fernando Valley and everything East of the San Gabriel river is not really LA imo.

Meh, I'm from LA. I consider those all LA and it's pretty common to do so (the everything east of San Gabriel river is an especially strange boundary for you to be drawing as that river barely registers as a river in most of the city/metro and isn't much a divider for counties, cities, or even neighborhoods). It's pretty common for everyone in the region, except the far removed parts in the Inland Empire such as Palm Springs, to be considered one since they all mostly just run and sprawl into each other.

Yes i like rivers as boundaries but if you want i can change it to everything East of the 605 not being LA.

Definitely not Shanghai, Seoul, Mexico City, or Sao Paulo. Those are all in countries with low birthrates, declining population (or soon to be declining population) and no immigration.

I think American metropolitan areas are too large, i mean Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area has more or less the same area and inhabitants of Netherlands, that's how large it is. I think it's a bit exaggerated to define an area as large as being part of a unique metropolitan area.
Just because Japan is losing population doesn't mean Tokyo does.
Tokyo is losing population, though.
And yeah, if Japan is losing population, it does mean that Tokyo is losing population. Tokyo is around 25% of Japan's population, and there is no way they are going to allow the rest of the country to completely collapse demographically.
The only way that Tokyo would not lose population would be if the rest of Japan basically collapsed.
