Remember to start your essay with a "hook"; that is, something interesting to grab the reader's attention and make them want to keep reading.
You could start with:
1) a provocative question (In one hundred years, will there be any Japanese left?)
2) a surprising fact about your topic (In 2005 there were more deaths than births in Japan (Ide, 2006).
3) An interesting quotation related to your topic
4) A well known proverb or saying related to your topic
5) Tell a brief intersting story related to your topic
After that you should give some background to the topic. First present it in a general way, then gradually narrow it down to what you really want to say (your thesis statement).
