If I was Japan I'd be interested in some of the "one time use" use cases as well given the current geopolitical state of affairs.

JAXA is pretty well set up with expendable launchers already, built by Mitsubishi. The "geopolitical" state of affairs isn't threatening their ability to put stuff into orbit, Japan doesn't rely on America/Russia/China/etc for that.
