Hmmm didn't read about that....
I am not sure if Japan's shutdown will work the same way as the US did....in fact, only hi-UHF has been/will have been released for other uses in the US. It's quite possible that the same Japanese TV channels will still be used for digital.
Japan doesn't have all that many FM stations in operation as it is now....I'm not sure that they'd even want to expand. Doesn't Tokyo have only about 3 or 4 stations on FM?
Someone better in-the-know can answer this.

Here are TV Stations in Tokyo.
NHK 1 CH. 1 (PSIP 1)
NHK 2 CH. 3 (PSIP 2)
NIPPON TV CH. 4 DT 25 (PSIP 4)
TBS TV CH. 6 DT DT 22 (PSIP 6)
FUJI TV CH. 8 DT 21 (PSIP 8)
TV ASAHI CH. 10 DT 24 (PSIP 5)
TV TOKYO CH. 12 DT 23 (PSIP 7)
Tokyo MX CH. 14 DT. 20 (PSIP 9)
Open University TV CH 16. DT 28
Japan uses a different DTV system than the United States, but their analog are identical to each other. Analog uses NTSC, however in Japan their digital uses ISDB-T which I'm not sure if its compatible with ATSC in North America like Canada, US, and Mexico.

@ Mario
I believe the Sakhalin stations are in Russian territory and thus use the 88-108 bandplan.

Japan expanded to 95 MHz
I only saw it on the Wiki, Any Info?

Japan expanded to 95 MHz. The new spectrum is being promoted as ワイドFM (Wide-FM). The stations that are going in that spectrum are the existing commercial AM stations to add a FM simulcast for their AM stations.
The spectrum from 95~108 MHz has been reallocated to a service called multi-media broadcasting. This spectrum is divided into three 4.3 MHz channels. There is already one licensee. I am not aware yet of what services will be offered.
REC's website http://fccdata.org has extensive data on the Japanese AM, FM and TV stations (just click on the Japan tab).
