If you were not born to a Japanese citizen, you will never become a citizen. Heck, there are 3rd generation Korean-Japanese that were born in Japan, only speak Japanese, and have no knowledge of Korean and they are still not citizens. That said, you can still live in Japan with a proper visa. I'm an American citizen and I've been living in Japan now for 5 years. I first came to Japan after graduating from college when I was 22, and got a working visa through the company I worked for in Japan. I then got married and got a spousal visa. I can apply for a permanent resident visa after 3 years of marriage. If you are serious about living in Japan, maybe try getting a student visa to come here in college on a study abroad program or enter into a high school student exchange program. If you have a college degree, you can pretty easily find work teaching English or if you can speak fluent Japanese you can find some other work opportunities that will give you a legal visa to live in the country.
