It seems to me that this has got to be more than a coincidence. Someone needs to audit the maintenance being conducted in Japan. 4 panels in a month is a public safety threat - Tokyo is EXTREMELY densely populated, it is a miracle that this did not kill somebody.
Like most things in Japan, in my experience, aircraft maintenance is usually of a high standard. As you posted, the aircraft were flying out of or into Japan.
