Japan B-League Goes Global: The league will stage its preseason “Manila Games” in September at Mall of Asia Arena, with Gunma Crane Thunders and Levanga Hokkaido headlining—an effort to pull in Filipino fans and Japanese supporters alike. Auto Industry Shuffle: Mazda is pushing a refreshed CX-5 flagship in Japan as Chinese rivals intensify pressure, while Toyota plans to sell Taiwan-made Noah and Voxy minivans via a dedicated line. China Tensions, Summit Bid: Japan’s ambassador to China says he will use “best efforts” to arrange a Takaichi–Xi leaders’ meeting at APEC, aiming to lower “psychological barriers” after Taiwan-linked strain. AI and Cybersecurity: OpenAI is weighing giving Japan access to a new cybersecurity AI, as Japan’s government tightens guidance on high-performance models like Claude Mythos. Markets: Japan’s Nikkei jumped about 3.1% amid a mixed Asia session. Society/Science: A study finds cats strongly prefer silver vine over catnip, and Japan’s health ministry ordered safety warnings after Tavneos-related liver deaths.
