Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

There is no obligation to file a "notification of loss of family register （ notification of loss of nationality ）" with the Japanese consulate, and unless you do so, your Japanese family register will remain, so you should be able to renew your Japanese passport "in Japan" and effectively keep your dual nationality. I was able to keep my dual citizenship.
