I'll admit I don't know much about Japan's constitutional process but is it really that hard to change?
Not impossible, but difficult enough that I don't see it as a likely possibility in the near future. I guess the Americans who wrote it, really didn't want Japan to re-militarize.
Note: The Japanese constitution has not been amended even ONCE since it was enacted in 1947. Another factor (apart from the difficulty) is that the Japanese themselves don't seem to be interested in amending it.
What if NK fired some shells and a couple hundred Japanese civilians died? There would be massive public outcry to take charge of their own defence rather than rely on the US.
In that situation it might be possible I suppose... unlikely but possible...
