Japan and the Republic of Korea never cooperated directly during the Cold War, but in 1965 Japan had officially stated that the ROK was the only legitimate government of the Korean peninsula, and by 1975 Kapan and South Korean governments agreed that the only defense against an increasingly belligerent North Korea and growing Chinese military was increased economic ties and security.Additionally, both Japan and South Korea host a large number of US military bases, and it's not a stretch to imagine that all three countries would work closely together in the event of a threat from their Red neighbors.Finally, rations between the two countries have soured only recently, in the mid-2000s. They were fairly close during Wargame's time-frame, with Japan taking steps to compensate S. Korea for WW2 and with South Korea openly admitting they kidnapped political dissidents from Japanese sovereign grounds.
