	Japan Has Nothing to Expect
		On January 29, Japan's House of Representatives railroaded through Diet the amendment stipulating that remittance to and trade with the DPRK shall be stopped, when necessary, and Japan shall impose sanctions upon the DPRK single-handedly even without a UN resolution or international agreement for the "peace and security of Japan".
		Japan should be held entirely responsible for all the consequences to be entailed by its wanton violation of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration.
		It is only little more than a year ago that Japan's chief executive came to Pyongyang and admitted, in a spirit of humility, facts of history that Japan caused tremendous damage and sufferings to the Korean people through its colonial rule in the past, and expressed deep remorse and heartfelt apology.

	II Journal: Japan Addresses its War Responsibility
		The discussion in the House was centered on the expressions such as "aggression" and "colonies." As a result of negotiation and compromise by the Liberal Democrats and the Socialists, these words came to have equivocal and thus unclear meanings in the resolution.
		However, any resolutions by the House, composed of the representatives of the people, are supposed to mean "the consensus of the people." Can we really say that the content of the agreement by the three parties is "the consensus of the people?" In fact, public opinion is split.
		Japan's war of aggression cannot be described as "colonial rule and acts of aggression," nor can it be rationalized as part of the general trend at the time.

		Japan's new proposal has taken into account the United States' position that Security Council membership should not be expanded by more than six seats, to a maximum 21 from the current 15, including the five permanent members--Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
		Prime Minister Koizumi has christened his recent dissolution of the House of Representatives the "Japan Post-Galileo Dissolution," borrowing the name of Galileo Galilei, the Italian physicist who advanced the idea that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
		Japan Post reform is a hopelessly unsexy topic, and Koizumi has lost chance after chance to explain to the citizenry, in basic and lucid terms, why privatizing it is so important.

	The Raw Story \| Japan's lower house passes bill to upgrade Defence Agency
		Tokyo- Japan's House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday to make the Defence Agency a ministry and give it more authority, media reports said.
		The bill - which was also expected to pass the House of Councillors during the current Diet session, which ends December 15 - would promote the agency's director general to defence minister, who would receive a similar level of authority as other members of the cabinet.
		Japan's pacifist constitution, written after Japan's defeat in World War II, puts stringent restrictions on Japan's military, but Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made its revision a priority.

		Japan should express its sincere apologies for the invasion and sacrifice of Chinese territory and people.
		However, a big difference between China and Japan is that China has domestic problems such as discrepancy of economic development between coastal areas and inland China, and minority movements such as the Xin Jiang Uyghur and Manchuria as well as Taiwan, about which the Chinese government is so sensitive.

	washingtonpost.com: Japan Expands Military Role to Support U.S.
		TOKYO, Oct. 18 -- Japan's House of Representatives approved an anti-terrorism bill today that was painstakingly crafted to define a narrow role for the country's military in supporting the U.S. attacks on suspected terrorist camps in Afghanistan.
		The lower house's passage of the bill -- which will not take effect until the upper house, in a formality, votes later this month -- gives Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi something to take with him to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Shanghai, where he is scheduled to meet with President Bush on Saturday.
		Japan's postwar constitution renounces war as well as the threat or use of force to settle international disputes.

		While it is risky to predict the outcome of the vote, the dissolution of the Lower House has profound implications for Japanese politics and for the US-Japan alliance.
		For instance, the contingency legislation to revise Japan's post-war pacifist constitution was able to pass the diet largely thanks to LDP former defense minister Kyuma Fumio, who was the point man in the ruling coalition to move the bills forward.
		Japan Defense Agency Director General Ohno Yoshinori indicated that the interim report on the negotiations, originally expected next month, will likely be delayed at least until October.

		But in a 1995 international survey, Japan ranked 145th out of 161 countries for the proportion of women to men in parliament.
		According to the Tokyo Journal (October, 1996), Japan is still a male society-so male that "when people talk of women in politics they often mean the wives of politicians." Women are still expected to stay at home and care for the house and children.
		It is also notable that a woman, Takako Doi, served as speaker of Japan's House of Representatives for 3 years-an accomplishment Americans have yet to match.

		The LDP held 249 seats in the chamber when it was dissolved Aug. 8, but the number fell to 212 when the election officially kicked off because it refused to put party lawmakers who voted against the government's postal privatization bills on its ticket and made the issue the centerpiece of the campaign.

		Japan has been debating female succession since Dec. 1, 2001, when Aiko was born to Masako and Crown Prince Naruhito, 45, the son of Emperor Akihito, 71.
		The royal family is a delicate issue in Japan, shrouded in secrecy, ritual and myths of divine origins.

	Koizumi triumph is start of reshuffle in Japanese - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
		The election for the 44th House of Representatives in Japan's bicameral Diet Sunday resulted in a massive and stunning victory for Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro and his ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
		This result sends an unambiguous message to the Japanese political elite and an important message from Japan to the rest of the world: namely, Japan has chosen reform and not isolation and is willing to face the challenges brought by economic globalization.
		Japan has seen few prime ministers as forceful as Koizumi since the end of the Second World War and his emergence shows that the majority of Japanese voters deeply hope for strong leadership for fundamental reform.

		But in an industrialized nation like Japan, with its sensitivity toward history as a victim of U.S. atomic warfare, such a confrontation may be hard to avoid in the future.
		While Doi considers herself a friend of the United States, she maintains that Japan’s relationship with the U.S. needs to be a more independent one: “Japan should not just follow what America thinks; it should have its own views,” she said back in 1992.
		At a time when Japan’s relations with China and the Koreas remain tense, she believes mending fences with Asian neighbors must be a top priority for Japan if it is to be judged well by history: “We should not forget that we are part of history, here and now,” said Doi.
