Well I got a my hunch from the Polygon magasine website. Seince I haven't been able to find a copy here yet I went to look for related articles on the site and found one that mentioned an Xbox type of confrence in Japan we're they'd be "showing off" all thier lattest games. It supposedly starts today and ends tomorrow, but this is where I thought that the reporters at Polygon might have gotten their info on the next game.
Unfortunately though as we know Munch's Oddysee didn't even make it to Japan. So on one hand I really can't see anything related to Stranger being shown at a Japanese event.

Also, I am a frequent visitor of Japanese gaming websites [although I can't really understand what they are talking about most times, but get a rough idea from articles I'm interested in through a translation program]. I did see a reference or two to this the other day, so on doing some further checking now, this is more of a interactive tour for the public [like the Xbox Experience kind of thing] as opposed to a E3 or TGS kind of thing. So they are showcasing games like Halo and Project Gotham Racing 2 game, etc in three Japanese cities.

It has a list of games that were shown, but half of them are in Japanese, so they are likely Japanese games. The article also goes on to talk about a competition involved with the tour and the latest Xbox offer in Japanese stores.
