 |So at one time people *were* subscribing to news over InetClub.

I dunno whether kddlab (= InetClub host name) still feeds news to
other sites, but I'm sure that kddlab no longer gets news feed from
UUNET.  I find several international news feeding links (e.g. 
ccut!sun-barr, nec.co.jp!mips, mei.co.jp!panasonic.com, sh8810!uunet),
but I'm not sure if finding where a USENET news article exactly comes
from is useful, because those articles are shared and spreaded among
the Japan Internet.

The price of hard disk drives in Japan is getting cheaper too. Check
out magazines - like UNIX Magazine or SuperASCII. (No affiliation with
ASCII Corp., just shown as examples)
