Well, sitting on economic tenterhook here in the US, with record federal deficits and a weak economy, it will be worth watching this:

A stampede of sellers forced an early close of the world's second-biggest stock exchange Wednesday, with investors panicking over a mounting financial scandal that could affect the financial gains made during Japan's economic comeback.

The alarm spread after a series of government raids began Monday on the offices of Takafumi Horie, the 33-year old billionaire president of Internet and corporate investment firm Livedoor Co. and whose golden touch may have been the product of Enron-like cooked books. ...
...
Some analysts feared a domino effect of falling stocks if investigators find that other sizzling Japanese investment companies and start-ups had been engaging in similar activities.
...
Known affectionately nationwide as Horiemon -- a fusion of his last name with Doraemon, the beloved Japanese cartoon cat famous for his ability to pull anything out a pouch -- the pudgy entrepreneur became a leading figure in the reelection campaign and reform crusade of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. Horie's pizzazz planted a seed in Japan, nurturing a new crop of young and brash business start-ups that helped revitalize the economy.

An just as the Enron trial is about to single-up all lines and get underway.
