My wife went to conservatory in Japan and was a concert pianist there for a while - she thinks I'm nuts when I tell her that Do moves around. But then again she thinks I'm nuts anyhow. She also teaches solfege except to me!

Japan seems to vote for fixed Do - my guess would be that whatever they do in Germany is what they do in Japan. Some of the standard texts on ear training etc in Japan are translations of late 19th century German works that I believe are out of print in Germany but still alive and well in Japan.

And sort of like US MD's use Latin terminology, Japanese MD's tend to use German.
