This is the best summary I could come up with:


Japan's Coast Guard has said one person was found and confirmed dead, and the search for the remaining seven aboard continues.

Asked about that statement, Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, said Tokyo had "officially" made the request.

"We are concerned that despite our repeated requests, and in the absence of sufficient explanation (from the U.S. military), the Osprey continues to fly," he told a news conference.

The deployment of the hybrid aircraft in Japan has been controversial, with critics of the U.S. military presence in the southwest islands saying it is prone to accidents.

Pacifist Japan hosts the biggest overseas concentration of U.S. military power, with the country home to the only forward-deployed American carrier strike group, its Asian airlift hub, fighter squadrons and a U.S. Marine Corps expeditionary force.

Dujarric said that he did not expect the issue to "blow up" into a major diplomatic spat between the allies, who have been forging closer ties in the face of China's increasingly muscular military stance in the region.
