 Japan’s  New Security Outlook: Implications for the United States
Security cooperation and strategic coordination on a variety of issues—includ­ing North Korea, the Taiwan Strait, Iraq, and the war on terrorism—are potent examples of Japan’s new security outlook.
During the Cold War, Japan’s security priorities became focused on deterring and defending against a “lim­ited or small-scale invasion” by the Soviet Union while relying on the United States for nuclear deterrence and maintenance of broader regional stability, such as in the Taiwan Strait and on the Korean peninsula.
In the United States, after a decade of wariness created by bilateral trade and economic disputes in the 1980s that contributed to mistrust and suspi­cion in both countries, questions were raised about the utility of the alliance in the face of growing and increasingly vocal opposition to the U.S. military presence in Japan.

 Understanding Okinawa's Role in the U.S.-Japan Security Arrangement | Japan Digest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Whether those security interests were seen in strategic or economic terms, China, Japan, and to a lesser degree Korea, are of key interest to the United States.
Finally, because of the Government of Japan's dual responsibilities to Okinawa as an administrative prefecture and its obligations to the U.S. under the Mutual Security Treaty, it is often placed in the role of "middleman," trying to accommodate U.S. military operational needs and local concerns, with varying degrees of success.
Given Japan's reluctance to relocate U.S. military units to the mainland and Okinawa's dependence on governmental economic support, the island's situation is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

 Japan's North Korea Initiative and U.S.-Japanese Relations - FPRI
Japan’s motive for distancing itself from the United States to an important degree but not breaking the bonds of alliance lies less in any new perception of a military threat than in lingering discomfort over its absence of a strong voice in international circles.
After the United States imposed sanctions on China for its repression of demonstrators in June 1989, Japanese policy makers were optimistic that their greater cultural similarities with Chinese and their preference for gradual change and no open criticism would forge a lasting bond.
Japan, anxious to trim huge budget deficits in difficult economic times, may welcome this affirmation of the status quo by not begrudging bases for U.S. troops— a logistical asset in times of forward deployment, and a back-up to U.S. military force that counts in the overall pressure against China.

Japan has shown interest in the so called four power talks (the United States, Japan, China and Russia), arguing that peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region hinges upon these states building mutual ties based on confidence and cooperation.
The two bilateral alliances between the United States and Japan and South Korea have enabled the three countries to cooperate on security matters as if a trilateral security arrangement existed, particularly in their response to the North Korean nuclear and missile issues.
While multilateral cooperative security institutions are admittedly far less effective in defending against armed conflicts, they do have the ability to improve regional relations, promote confidence, and foster trust, which, in turn, should help ameliorate the security dilemma and the chances for accidental miscalculations.
