ALL OLD MEN, NO TENDER BABIES, IN McARTHUR PARK:

Japan's population saw an unprecedented decline last year, the Japan Times reported Wednesday. The country's population, excluding foreign nationals, fell at its fastest pace ever, down 271,834 to 125,891,742 from the year prior as of Jan. 1.

That's according to government figures that have tracked the population since 1968. The most recent data released Wednesday marked the seventh consecutive year of decline, with the population dipping under 126,000,000 for the first time in 17 years, according to Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
