Yen Japanese

I don't understand why this wouldn't be more of a concern to Japan honestly. I personally wouldn't want to invest in anything that is loosing it's value. That is almost like buying a tree for shade even though you know it is dying and will become less and less shade over the coming years. Generally I would invest in a young tree that would continue to produce more shade. *Does everyone like my analagy?* It just doesn't make sence to me. I hate the low value of a dollar, I couldn't imagine it as being much worse.
