If I were still healthy I would consider coming back to the US. And
hypothetical post.

After 5 or 10 years of staying in Japan, the Glynn card itself is invalid.

I don't know how many years later
1 ， I come back to the US after my parents pass away.
2 ， Considering returning to Japan permanently.

I don't know what my plans are in 5 or 10 years
but if I don't change my mind about coming back to the US then
I will think about how I can return to the US in 5 or 10 years
without problems for that purpose.

#11 Gachan is correct, if you are abroad for more than 180 days, you can no longer enter the US.
（ You can no longer come back once a year like before ）

As several people have said, if you get US citizenship, you would normally be able to come and go, but
now it is a corona disaster and you cannot enter the US. If you become a citizen, you cannot enter Japan. Foreigners, whether for
business or pleasure, are no longer granted visas. Even those who already have visas, such as students, are not allowed to go to Japan.

If you had a Japanese passport and a Glynn card
you could live in Japan for 10 or even 20 years, until you die.

Think about how you could come back to the US from Japan with a 5 or 10 year GC hold.

But I don't see you coming out, Topi!

Thank you all for all the information. I am very sorry for the delay in writing again. Actually, one of my family members became a person of intense contact and was quarantined, so I was in a flap （ I tested negative, but ）

I guess everyone was interpreting things to suit their own convenience, that if you enter the country once a year, you are fine, or that you have to voluntarily renounce your permanent residence status in order for it to expire, etc. Maybe they were interpreting it for their own convenience. 。。。。 And I was also trying to believe in my own convenience （ sweat ）
but I really appreciate a lot of information from everyone here. I am glad I asked here.

Thank you gachann for the detailed information. It is a pretty clear indicator to make a choice going forward.
And the asset freeze thing was also helpful, as I had no idea about that.
I would like to thank everyone else who imagined and wrote about my situation like this.

Now that there is corona, it seems that Americans are not allowed to enter Japan （ Sorry if I am wrong ） I cannot predict what will happen with corona in the future, so I was thinking that if possible, I would not take citizenship and would like to go to Japan with permanent resident status anytime. I was thinking that I would like to be able to go to Japan anytime I want with permanent residency. I can't imagine how long it will take to take care of my parents, and I can't be sure that it will be over in 90 days, so I am prepared to stay here for a long time. There are many other issues that I have to deal with, but for now, I am glad to know about the permanent residency after I return home.
Thank you all for your help.

The point is what to do with Japanese citizenship after acquiring US citizenship. Frankly speaking, the Japanese side should not know. The U.S. side tacitly accepts dual citizenship. Therefore, they will not report to Japan that Mr. A has become a U.S. citizen.
How will you maintain your Japanese passport? If you have a residence in Japan, you can keep your residence card in Japan and pay your pension and National Health Insurance. Then you can renew your passport in Japan without any problem. Tax returns can be filed without income in Japan.
You will not be asked whether or not you have a GC when entering or leaving Japan. They don't even ask you where you are going. They do not even ask where you are going. You simply enter and leave Japan with your Japanese passport. In the U.S., you simply use your U.S. passport to enter and leave the country.
However, the U.S. side is very tax picky, and you must not make enemies with the IRS. Therefore, you must apply for a 1040 every year, even when you are living in Japan. However, there is a special exception for U.S. citizens living abroad. This is only theoretical.
