• I couldn't find a thread on SELENE 2. Here's the JAXA page which is a bit out of date.

  Here's a 2012 article providing some details

  Orbiter: 700 kg
  Lander: 1000 kg
  Rover: 100 kg
  
  The Rover will only last for half a Lunar day or 14 Earth days and is scheduled for 2017, although this recent Chinese article says it is in 2019.

• Selene-2 is not yet funded, except for the study phase. So they miss the 2017 date. But the ministry of science & education is trying to get mission funded for 2019 now.

• NASA is proposed to JAXA, to provide In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) mission precision lander.
  SELENE-2 is may be used this proposal. But, not sure now
