What I am saying is merely that for a large country with a large agricultural population and relatively little land, it is a mistake to try to go into a process of radical de-agriculturalization; that land/labor ratios are important.
I am snowed under with work, so I will let my end

Well said. It would be disastrous for land-poor but completely developed Japan, too. For one thing, it would be an ecological disaster, since there are no checks on land use except zoning laws. When the entire country becomes a pachinko parlor, a shopping mall, a privatized expressway or a Toys R Us parking lot, then only then will the globalization scheme have transformed Japan into a model for globalization.
