Today (Wednesday 7/23) in Japan at 3pm Minoru Morita will be talking to the foreign press and other members of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan about his explosive new book, Curing Japan's America Addiction. Here's the summary from the FCCJ's website:

Long considered one of Japan's leading political analysts, Minoru Morita's first book translated into English makes no bones about its premise -- that the Koizumi Cabinet, and its ties to the Bush Administration, have destroyed the nation's middle class. Morita says tensions between the countries are growing, and the book was translated into English so that Americans would better understand Japan's political situation.

The 75-year-old author says in the book's first sentence that Japan is on the verge of its greatest political crisis in history. With a general election coming within a year and support for the Fukuda Cabinet still low, make your reservations early as the veteran Nagatacho-watcher predicts how the saga will play out.
