It might be old news but its imminent and I am now finally thinking (read: willing to risk some of my college funds) of profiting from Japanization of the economy. What would be some good trading strategies (coupled with a probable hedge to form a pair)?

Yes, I'm an amateur "trader"- I've only paper traded this whole time, although I did help a friend run an investment fund.

Cheers.
