I think it's best to wait some years before applying for citizenship anyways. Many people, even if they initialy don't care about thier home countries, find a newfound love of their homelands after being abroad a few years then going home.

I don't think a fear of foriegners affecting politics is a real fear of the Japan. People tend to be pretty apathetic and distrusting of politicians, so fear of the gaijin vote is pretty low on the radar.
