Japan is not going to break off from the US, it's not like trust level amongst the far east Asian countries is at an all time high. I think from the article, it suggests Japan doesn't want to be US's lappy dog anymore, so it is seeking other countries to partner with to counter it but still US will be of significant importance to Japan for a long time to come.
It really all started when after listening to US's economic advice, Japan's economy got totally nowhere. It only just recovered after a spike of trade with China. But well that's now all reversed by the looks of it and everyone is pointing their finger (rightfully) at the US (again).
It has everything to do with bread and circus.
