Discrimination in Japan

[Duo]

Can I ask if a foreigner was to be married with a Japanese citizen, or if after he/she had lived a long time legally in Japan, could he/she ask and receive Japanese citizenship ?

Difficult question..depends on the circumstances and the person honestly. I have known people that applied and got it within a couple years and others that have been applying for 20+ years and yet to receive it...what is the difference between the two.....not that much honestly.
