As a steering committee member of SPARC JAPAN, I organized and chaired the first OA-day event in Japan (a SPARC JAPAN special seminar in 2008) and next OA week seminar in 2009. (http://www.nii.ac.jp/sparc/en/event/2009/20091020en.html) Also I joined in the voluntary group to maintain the OAW site in Japan ( http://www.openaccessweek.jp/) and held an event at the Univ. of Tokyo last year.
