Hell, unless Japanese finally admit they committed the massacre in Nankin, I'll forever feel uncomfortable with any pro militaristic move from Japan.
But I am also in the camp that believe, by orincipal, article 9 deserves revision and Japan should be allowed of its own military. But unwilling to support it because LDP is just terrible.

Perhaps, but it's also possible they're going to use this to crack down on LDP rivals and critiques

Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
