Both of the countries suffer from low fertility rate, Japan little more than the USA. The gap is widening because of the migrations.

-Japan the other hand is a country that has both very low fertility rate, and very small amount of migrants coming to live in it, so the number of the population is stagnant for some time now, and is expected to start decreasing quickly in the coming years once the older population is not among the living anymore.
