Dual citizenship Travel to Singapore via Japan Use different passports

I have a Japanese and an American passport.
I am going to Singapore via Japan. When I am only going back and forth between Japan and the US, I use my Japanese passport when entering and leaving Japan.
Then when I go to Singapore from there, I leave Japan with my Japanese passport,
and show my Japanese passport when I enter Singapore as well, is that correct?
Does it mean that I only use my American passport when entering the U.S.?

I want to avoid trouble as much as possible, so please let me know if you know.

The Japanese government's response is different for those who were born with dual nationality and those who call themselves dual nationals who took up foreign nationality of their own volition.

Dear Toshiro, I am sorry. I have a question for Mr. Aoka from the side.
I tried calling the Japanese consulate but could not speak to anyone, only voice, so please let me know if you don't mind.
Did you renew your daughters' Japanese passports after they turned 22 years old? ？ When you renewed your daughters' passports, were you asked to choose their nationality? If you know, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

The treatment of a dual citizen born in the U.S. is very forgiving, no matter how old that person is.

Dear M,

My daughters renewed their passports once in Japan and once in the US after they turned 21.
In Japan, I honestly declared that I was a US citizen, but they said they would not take it away because the policing department and the passport renewal department are separate, and I was able to renew properly. However, they took a copy of my American passport.
This was a long time ago, so I don't know now.

In the U.S., when I renewed my visa or green card, they asked me if I had a visa or green card, so I declared that I was a U.S. citizen, and I think they also took a copy of my U.S. passport.
But I was able to renew.
I don't think I was told to choose one in particular.

A friend of mine knows someone who works at the consulate, and he told me that it is a good idea to say that you choose Japan for now.
He said they can't take passports from people living in the US forcibly. That's right. If you take away their visas, green cards, and citizenship, they can't live here.

Dear Mr. Aoka,
Thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter. This is good news because I thought that even if I had dual citizenship since birth, I would not be able to renew my Japanese passport once I turned 20. Thank you very much.
