YES.... However, the main problem is university in Japan is **Terribly**
underfunded... It's cheaper and easier to get basic research from the
US or Europe. Don't forget that both Junet and Wide-net were 
started not from governamental agencies, but from some brave professors.
I really admire them.... 

In my opinion this system is mutually perverse: US taxpayers paying 
billions of dollars in basic research to Japanese corporates use it
in their products and Japanese universities condemned to be ethernal
workforce "repositories"  to Japanese companies. 

#I think this is a hot theme... :-)
