I want to be interested in Japanese politics. I really do. I like Japan, I have lots of friends there, but I just can't. It's so boring. Another year, another prime minister, a bunch of party infighting or some poo poo, and then nothing terribly important continues to happen.

You arent doing it right, Japanese politics if you are a political junkie are dull, but there is plenty of crazy to gawk at, right wing groups in busses, weird religious parties, and other things that are insane by our standards.

EDIT: I think one thing that distinguishes Japanese politics from politics in Canada and probably most advanced capitalist countries is that the parties (Except the Communists, sort of...) don't have youth wings in the universities. Making them even more incestuous and lifeless than usual.

See: Kan, Naoto. No really he married his cousin.
