The most active bloggers in Japan seem to be expats writing about what it's like to be an expat in Japan, but Japanese bloggers are slowly getting into the act.
[...] Blogging is still largely an insiders' game for Japanese techies, with high-tech the central theme of many Japanese blogs. One of the most widely read bilingual blogs belongs to Neoteny CEO Joi Ito. Japan has a long history with online diaries, and it's only a matter of time before blogging finds its place among a broader swatch of the Japanese public. Technical issues aside, though, cultural patterns may present the biggest obstacle to the development of alternative news voices in Japan. "Almost all sites are quotations of quality papers with simple comments," said Neoteny's Hirata. "To become journalism, first many Japanese have to change their minds and publish their own thoughts. Most Japanese are still too shy to go public."
