Therefore, I'm wondering, even though I've wanted to live there for a long time, what's the situation over there? Is there still a need for English teachers? I'm interested in hearing from everyone.

I don't understand why "infringing on the citizens" means. Japan is a group of islands, and the majority of the country is not overcrowded or overpopulated at all. People are fleeing Japan? Where are you hearing these stories?
There will always be a need for English teachers, but it is a competitive field, and getting more so as the population dips and as people are staying longer in their positions to wait out the world's poor financial situation.
