MHI just announced that H-IIA F27 will be flying with IGS Radar-Spare on January 29, 2015 some time around 01:00-03:00 UTC.

3 launches in under 4 months....are they trying to reach EELV flight rates?  ;)

This looks like a page to keep an eye on:-

Is it correct that today they are meeting re H-IIA F28?

So it was confirmed - the next Japanese launch with IGS Optical-5 will occur on March 26 again at the 01:00 - 03:00 UTC time frame (probably again ~01:20 UTC given the observed orbits of previous satellites  ;)). Getting a little bit busy at TNSC.....  8)

Pad turn around time is 53 days this is the most short record.
Between Hayabusa 2 launch and IGS Radar spare launch was the same working days (excluding 4days for New years holiday).

NHK is reporting that MHI grabbed another commercial launch contract for the H-IIA - this time it's the newest Earth observation satellite for the United Arab Emirates, KhalifaSat (ex-DubaiSat-3), launching in 2017. Given its 300 kg weight and heading for a 600 km SSO, it is likely a share-ride with a JAXA mission (probably GOSAT-2).

...and confirmed by MHI (including that it will be paired with GOSAT-2).

MMO (Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter) development is finished.
JAXA's media event was held in Mar. 15th. At that time, MMO will be shipping to ESA in April.

I have read that in 2017 the Yoshinobu launch pad 2 will begin to modernize for H-3 rocket. The reconstruction will be finished in 2019. The question is where HTV-8 and subsequent spacecrafts will be launched from?

Recent concept shows that H-3 will share the same core diameter and (almost) same SRB with H-2B, which could make it easier to rearrange the pad modification and H-2B launch preparation.

Pad 1 has already undergone some upgrades to launch HIIB and will also be converted after Pad 2 to support launch of H-III

In 2017 JAXA will launch the first satellite from the new test program with the Epsilon rocket. Among others it will test new solar cells and radiation proof electronics.
