Isn’t Japan still in recession? Does this have something to do with the fact that the JPY 3M-Libor has risen from about 60bps to 90bps?

Mr. Kwak, you have real potential to be the next Paul Krugman –that is, a man who educates many thousands of laymen in the basics of economics. (As to a Nobel, we’ll see.)
