Giving up my citizen to this country doesn't seem like a big deal to me I don't really have any ties and I am not attached to it I hate this country ^.^
I also want to caution you here. You should not put Japan up on a pedestal. Or make it into some magic land where you can escape your "crappy life" back home, because if you do so, it is sure to disappoint you. Japan is just another place on earth, and you will not be getting away from reality by coming here. I am not saying this is you, but to say that you hate your country, and want to move to Japan and become Japanese, sounds a lot like what people who are thinking Japan is some sort of a cloud nine fantasy land escape might say.

Let me ask you to make things clear. What are the things you hate so much about America, and why have you concluded that those things will not exist, or be better in Japan?
