I actually got work in Japan. My passport was expired, and I went to renew it. They always ask how you're staying in the states and to show evidence. At that point my green card was expired and I only had naturalization to show. At that point I had to give up my Japanese citizenship, in order to get a visa. I don't remember if that was the exact reason but I was able to get away with dual for a while. Maybe if I tried renewing it in Japan it wouldn't have been a problem?

I've been living here long enough and paid enough taxes to consider becoming a citizen. But I wouldn't trade it for my US citizenship. Interesting aside. One of my Taiwanese friends got his Japanese citizenship, and thus renounced his Taiwanese. But plot twist: Taiwan allows (what's akin to) temporary renouncment. Now he's a dual citizen.
