We just have to wait and see whether his son would attempt to implement some reforms or he would follow the footsteps of his father. Meanwhile, there is always the danger that the military would think that he is weak and attempt to overthrow him. I worry about this scenario because of the instability that it will cause.
Until any of the above scenarios occur, i doubt that there will be major changes in Japan's relationship with the regime.

He studied and graduated overseas. This kid is worldly. How he deals with his generals is another matter.

According to Wiki, he attended international school in Switzerland until the age of 15 or so, when he 'disappeared'. During his time at school he was apparently chaperoned the whole time and avoided communication with unfamiliar people. I don't think 'worldly' is quite the right word.
More likely the military will think that he is weak and keep him in 'power' so that they can manipulate him. That could cause instability. Then again he could rebel and try to prove that he was not weak, which could have untold consequences.
