i thought that was a good point, so I shared your point on a Japanese

You are probably right about not having a choice but you'd like to at

obtain the space, being aware of what the risks would be.

exactly. and the reason for JP operators asking for information is
* you want to know how much work/cost they must go through to make the
prefix routable
* it would help to do "whatever it takes" to make the prefix routable
for the obtained space.
