  Japan's Abe set to become PM - Boston.com
Shinzo Abe, a conservative advocate of a more muscular Japanese foreign policy, was overwhelmingly elected ruling party leader on Wednesday, setting the stage for him to be chosen as prime minister next week.
The soft-spoken Abe has long topped the list of politicians Japanese voters prefer to see succeed Koizumi, making him the candidate of choice for a majority of LDP lawmakers looking ahead to elections for parliament's upper house next summer.
Abe, a third-generation politician, is thought unlikely to adopt Koizumi's combative approach in forging ahead with economic reforms and so far has not fleshed out details of how he intends to get a handle on Japan's bulging public debt.

  ejcjs - Bureaucrats, Politicians, and Policy Change in Japan
The objective of this paper is to examine a hypothetical model of the Japanese policy-making process by focusing on the relationship between the transition of political power between government agencies and the subsequent policy changes in the process of administrative reform in the 1990s.
Similarly, Sato and Matsuzaki also define Japanese politics as a pluralism which is controlled by both the LDP and the bureaucracy, and they emphasise the phenomenon in which the LDP’s politicians gradually improve their leadership over the bureaucrats in the policy-making process (Sato and Matsuzaki 1986).
Politicians in the LDP have weak loyalty to the party because the LDP put up plural candidates in one constituency under the multi-party districts system, so that candidates fight to bring funding and benefits from the central government to their constituencies rather than to realise national interests.

Native-born Japanese who first accepted with philosophical understanding the decision of their Government to round up and take far inland all of the Japanese along the Pacific Coast, regardless of their degree of loyalty, have pretty generally been disappointed with the treatment that they have been accorded.
Keep in mind that the evacuees were charged with nothing except having Japanese ancestors; yet the very fact of their confinement in relocation centers fosters suspicion of their loyalties and adds to their discouragement.

 Characteristics of Japanese people heavily affects their shopping attitude, product preference and taste
Japanese culture is group oriented and people tend to work together rather than exert their individuality.
When selecting purchases, the Japanese tend to attach more importance to the reputation of the item among the community they belong to, such as colleagues, friends, neighbors than to the performance of the goods or how well they suit their lifestyle.
As Japanese people have lived under dictatorship for such a long period of time, their culture is called "the culture of sadness".

These are encouraging signs that may suggest Japanese people now feel it is time to consider the environment as more important than the long term national goal of achieving one of the strongest economies in the world (that is, they are aware of the need to balance economic growth and environmental protection).
Japanese people may now feel satisfied they have recovered from the destruction of the second world war (a recovery that was based largely on heavy industry), and now have one of the world's strongest economies, but are not satisfied with the cost of such an achievement to their environment and to their quality of life.

 People's Daily Online -- China urges Japanese leaders to fulfill commitments with concrete actions
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi issued a statement on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II on Monday, apologizing to the victims of Japan's past aggression and expressing readiness to join hands with Asian neighbors like China and the Republic of Korea to help maintain peace in the region.
Kong said Japanese politicians' visits to the shrine on the occasion of the 60th anniversary marking the victory of China's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the victory in the war against fascists, indicates that those politicians haven't made a "correct" choice on the key issue as expected by the "international community."
Kong said as a country which was seriously victimized by the Japanese militaristic aggression, China strongly requests the Japanese government properly view its history and reflect on it with concrete actions and stop doing things that harm the feelings of the people in the victim countries.

 A-list message, [A-List] Japanese Imperialism
But a simple listing of these various elements tends to gloss over the fact that there are still deep disagreements among historians over which of these reasons was predominant.
Pollard is equally dismissive of other theories of Japanese imperialism, saying that Japan's habit of territorial acquisition seems "to bear little relationship to population pressure, the need of markets and raw materials, political necessities, or strategic needs".
It was only afterwards, in the wake of defeat, that pundits and politicians and ordinary people stepped back to ask: How could we have been so deceived?" Conclusion Historians usually hedge their conclusions, and therefore most would readily concede that Japan's expansion had many different causes.

The Bunka-chou is in the midst of preparing keigo guidelines because 50% of all Japanese they surveyed felt uncomfortable with their keigo, and wished that the government would create a government-standard list of keigo, kind of like the government standard kanji list.
It makes a difference that a lot of Japanese people have experience of other cultures now and I would expect many are reluctant to reinstate keigo as a true reflection of the class-based society of old.They just want to use it correctly as a set of standard forms.

 Amazon.com: The Nanjing Massacre: A Japanese Journalist Confronts Japan's National Shame (Studies of the Pacific Basin ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Japanese investigative journalist Honda's authoritative study of the Japanese Imperial Army's campaign of wholesale destruction, rape, and murder in central China (November 1937-March 1938) is far superior to Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking (LJ 1/98), a powerful but deeply flawed best seller that made its author an international celebrity.
Honda's study, based on Japanese wartime soldiers' diaries, contemporary newspaper accounts, and numerous interviews in the 1970s and 1980s with Chinese survivors of the massacres, is an unflinching and relentlessly horrifying tale of the systematic savagery of Japan at war against the people of China.
Honda, who was the first Japanese since the war to enter many of the small towns on the road to Nanjing, to not only confront the past and the hatreds and hostilities it inspired, but to record it in uncompromising detail.
