Thought you might also like to check out this blog that has, from the look of it, only been around for a short time. oppositioninjapan.blogspot.com is an interesting look at Japanese politics from the perspective of a guy working for the DPJ…

Congrats on the top 10 slot. I’ve been meaning for years to get serious about my blog, making it Japan-focused and stuff, but I should probably put that effort into my company’s website first to get it on your list of helpful resources.

“there’s no way I’m paying for them without some possibility of getting reimbursed for my efforts.”
Maybe I’ll do some work on “Gaijin Japan bloggers”,Adamu!

Sure they’re “available” but there’s no way I’m paying for them without some possibility of getting reimbursed for my efforts.

This blog rulz.

Outside of the blogs, I think that “Japan Focus” is pretty amazing (I’m not objective, I have an article up there). Really, does any other county have such an excellent free online academic resource devoted to it?

BTW, most of the major Japanese newspapers DO offer a great deal of content (all articles post 1980, for example) online. You just have to access it through a separate gateway like “Nifty”. It is less expensive than the NYT service, actually. I wish that they would all start offering free searches (to promote their “brand”), however.

Oh pish. Many of those other blogs just seem to be clones of each other. Here’s where it’s at.
