Does that mean that 2026 is going to be another year in low births in Japan?

Right, that is also a Fire Horse year, and if the hypothesis has merit and the belief is still widespread, then that would be a possibility.

I doubt that many people today pay much attention to this, however, so if we do see a year of very low births and it gets explained with reference to the astrological belief, I'll be very skeptical.
