Database of Japanese researchers

After  a couple of years of googling around my research topics, I've stumbled upon this website: Directory Database of Research and Development Activities (ReaD). It lists all Japanese research institutes, researchers and their research interests and published titles, both in Japanese and English. 

That is how I have finally managed to track down, perhaps, the only person on the third rock from the Sun with the same research interest as mine. I feel like a lonesome whale, who after a long journey out there in the ocean has finally detected a faint sound of another whale's sonar clicking!
