In Japan, low or almost interest rates has been prevailed and there has been a strong demand for Japanese government bond, so there is possibility that money demand has been changed and been apart from traditional one. Also, exchange rates against Japanese currency and stock prices have fluctuated largely recently due to the introducing unprecedented financial policy from the 2000s.
