Deaths in Japan far outpace births in 2021, resulting in a population decline of 628,205

Concerning the bus: gah, that writing system.
Anyways, it advertises a new lottery called Kunugizaka 46, starting nationwide on the first of August, and it provides a web search suggestion and (maybe) the name of the associated TV chain. And on the blue band below, something about 165 picture taken and their use (maybe). Dunno why there’s four ladies pictured above, maybe they are the presenters.
All in all, it seems to have nothing to do with the current state of Japan’s population, just a fine example of crowded, headache-inducing graphics.
