Not if the President pardons it, if you get what I meant. Trump is pretty tight with Boeing right now and kept on hawking more Superhornets to the navy.

Unlikely he harped up more Super hornets but then sighted the check for more F35's the DOD makes the call in the end and although I hope to see upgrades for the F15E and F15C I doubt the SE will spread it's wings.
For Ground Self Defense Force. At first they were sheduled to station in a JGSDF newly built garrison with an apron near the Saga Airport from 2019 but as they have problems with buying the estate from a private owner for now and it looks like those Ospreys will be stationed in Kisarazu garrison or, closer to original plan, somewhere on Kyushu Island for now.

Why would anyone buy this"Widow maker". If Japan want to kill their pilot fast this is the best way to do it This plane is accident prone and known as "Widow maker"As recently as last month close to Okinawa. It is so bad the Okinawan has been protesting the basing of V22 on their island
This design concept is defective in the first place and it should never get off the ground. It is classic case of pork barrel They should just buy a simple helicopter
From Wiki
The is an military aircraft with an accident history that has generated some controversy over its perceived safety. The aircraft was developed by and ; the companies partner in its manufacture and support.
The V-22 Osprey had 12 accidents that resulted in a total of 42 fatalities. During testing from 1991 to 2006 there were four resulting in 30 fatalities. Since becoming operational in 2007, the V-22 has had seven crashes including two combat-zone crashes, and several other that resulted in twelve fatalities.
From fortune
But developing that concept to its fullest has proven extremely costly, and according to critics, the promise was never truly fulfilled. The project’s cost ballooned from a $68.7 million design contract in 1983 (the aircraft’s maiden flight took place in 1989) to $29.1 billion for research and procurement , when the estimated average cost per vehicle was $83.7 million. By 2012, put the total cost at $56 billion and the cost per unit at $100 million.
Variants of the venerable combat helicopter, by comparison, cost from $20 million to $40 million each.
