Here's an idea to deal with that expected North Korean missile launch near Japan

You see, it's not like the Japanese haven't either (a) known this was coming for over a decade; or (b) lacked the military or industrial ability to see to their own defenses--the Japanese military has roughly 230,000 troops, 330 combat aircraft, 800 tanks, and 119 major warships.
