USD/JPY is up from its late US/early Asia lows under 155.60.

We haven't seen news headlines out of Japan apart from the data:

This data is not usually much of a yen mover, and today is no different. The bounce back happened well before, on no fresh catalysts.

JPY swings look set to continue. USD/JPY rallies are attracting offers from those keen to take some USD/JPY longs off the table ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting next week. On the flip side those seeing continued carry opportunity are in with interest on USD/JPY dips. Keeping opportunities alive for everyone.
