Looks like the population of Japan is falling faster than the GDP of Japan. So "per capita" is kinda misleading here.

I think GDP is pretty much meaningless and GDP per capita is a much more useful statistic.

These things are coupled, if GDP/capita is going up it means individuals are producing more. If this were just declining populations then per capita measures would be flat.
