It all depends on what lifestlye you like,

Why not? The countries are quite similar in many ways - climate, geography, parts of culture. Japan has shintoism and buddhism, Taiwan has taoism, to my understanding they are not completely different.
Even though I like that area the most myself as well, the taxes are not that low and living can be a bit on the expensive side. I haven't seen the OP talk about taxes yet.
I'm not sure whether you are talking real ex-patriation (aka citizenship change), or if you are just looking for foreign residency.
I realize your handle is anime-related but I will not assume that you are Japanese-American. Even if you are Japanese-American though, good luck getting Japanese citizenship. If you are not full blooded Japanese, you have not a shot in hell frankly speaking. We are talking about the most xenophobic country in the first world, (and damn near the world altogether).
Not that I don't like the Japanese, but we just have to realize, they really don't like us (non-full blooded Japanese) from an ethnicity perspective. I mean they really don't like that about you, even if they don't show it.
At any rate, while I agree Asia is the place to be business-wise, I'm not so sure it is the place to be citizenship-wise. I think there are some (privately-sourced) western European solutions to this problem, which will not necessarily mean you have to live in western Europe...
I agree with some of the others here that it is probably best you proceed with caution and diligence on this matter, and try a few locales out on a temporary basis before going all-in if we are talking about citizenship change.

Strange. When I last looked into it, vodka, loose women, and cocaine were all cheaper in Russia than USA.

That puts Denmark at the top. It only rains 6 months of the year, the "summer" generally falls on a Wednesday, and they pay 60%+ in taxes, so what could possibly be wrong with that?
My conclusion is that it must be because of Tuborg, Carlsberg, Snaps and Gammel Dansk
Not to mention that almost everyone are nice, welcoming, speaks multiple languages, and are highly educated.
Denmark and the southern part of Sweden(Malamo) are my favorite places in Europe.

Quote from Bob111:
at some point of your life good medical care facilities near by will be more important than fresh chicks. as for clean water and food..i spend 30 years in Russia,born there,married,serve the army..you don't have to tell me about how clean the water or how great food quality is..
Vikana is right-you have to live with happy people. happy,wealthy and speak the language you know. russian is not an easiest language to learn. don't forget crime rate and terrorists. having dual citizenship i prefer live in US and pay higher taxes. i guess i'm just stupid..
I don`t look that far, and i hope that point in my life will never come.I don`t want to maintain that mummy type of body and prefer to die when it discontinues function properly.You can try to live 300 years if you want.But that`s you, not me.
I`d prefer to die on a fresh chick
And Russia is not all about Moscow,anyway.But if you don`t like it, then fuck Moscow and...fuck Russia,TOO!Fuck everything that you don`t like...I wanna see more happy people, too.I agree
I`d like to go to Nepal.But i need a fresh chick to go with me!
