   Japan is wealthy. Wealth can indeed creates 'friends".   
      
   No money is no "talks".

      That will help. Japan and the USA may be symbiotic at   
      this point ... but the USA has become completely dependent   
      on China - and thus might not be able to be as helpful as   
      Japan would want in a crisis. Cultivating India, S.Korea,   
      Vietnam and perhaps Australia would be wise.   
      
      The other half of the equation is Japans continuing economic   
      weakness. Wealth creates "friends" and strong alliances -   
      gives countries vested reasons to make sure Japan stays   
      healthy.
