They do have a cool buzzword for it: "Abenomics" instead of negative interest rates. At least as part of a larger fiscal/monetary policy. But either way, it's not supposed to feel positively. It's a penalty for banks to keep money with the central bank now. So instead they're forced to lend, which should create nice bubbles and repeat the 97 fiscal crisis in Korea, now with more Japan.
