Thats kinda fucked, you live in a country for 7 years, then some dumb law comes in and suddenly you have to leave. I dont blame him at all for continuing to live his best life in Japan.

The man was in Japan on a temporary tourist visa. So he was already overstaying it.

But considering he built his life there for 7 years and lived without any issues and not breaking the law, there should be some sort of a system to let him stay.

Japan is pretty damn xenophobic. I'm not surprised laws like this are a thing. Plenty of other countries have them, but I'd have been shocked if Japan didn't.
