The Japanese government has established an "e-Japan Strategy" for realization of originality-oriented society supported by information technology. It has also finalized policies for structural reform of economy. These policies have a common background. Both consist of a vision of the originality-oriented society, formulated a priori, combined with economic reform for its actualization based on the competitive market principle. Both emphasize that some sacrifice is needed to attain prosperity in future. These policies, however, neglect the importance of restoring governability of the nation, do not recognize differences between social and economic reforms, and lack understanding of information technology as the key factor for security and its role. Restoring governability of the nation is the target of the highest priority. For that purpose, those policies are superficial and probably impair the credibility of the government. The role of the administration should also be defined more clearly. The social structure cannot be changed by a short-term policy; the originality-oriented society should be conceived on the needs rooted in the present society. Advances of information technology for national security should be integrated in the policies, not only to fortify the society but to assure its global activity.
