Can someone tell me why the JPY is strengthening against other currencies such as the EUR, USD and GBP. I have searched for economic data and news stories but cannot find anything.

It is an error to look for reasons to describe a move as the forex market is not rational itself.

Well, there could be some explanations. For example the economic reports from Japan are very optimistic. They show the potential growth of Japanese economy for 5-7%. Which pretty good for developed countries.

True. Even if there are any reasons, they don't really matters, since the currency price is formed mainly by the supply demand ratio. Imagine the situation, when Japanese economy suddenly rose for 100% in one day, but nobody new about that. The price for JPY won't change until everybody realize that it is good time to buy.
