In my view it's going to be a bumpy ride over the next 6 weeks or so. Most of the real gains made in Japan over the last 8 months or so seemed to be concentrated in the high tech, Internet areas and it was driven by a steady inflow of US portfolio investment dollars. As a result the market there is starting to have clone like similarities with the Nasdaq and may be, therefore, less effective in diversifying risk. I don't feel that the Japanese market will be really safe until you see its consumer and domestic retail stocks start to attract interest. However, I like the potential prospects over the second half of the year and (despite what I wrote above), I find it, overall, a safer place to invest right now.
