I have come across a publication that has a great deal of information about technology in Japan, that so far as I know is unique in the US. It is called "Japan Technology Monitor" and consists of translations of Japanese technical and business articals. I have found it useful for keeping track of the telecommunications industry, but they also cover semiconductors and computers, to name a few other areas. You can get a free issue or subscribe by calling their 800 number 800-235-1339 (in the US). If you prefer to mail, or are outside the US, you can get to them by writing to Japan Technology Monitor Reader Services 3528 Torrance Blvd. Torrance, CA 90503 or fax them at 213-792-1392 or (international voice calls) 213-792-1391 no e-mail address that I know of (sigh) I don't know the exact cost, but I think it's less than a couple hundred a year.
