Japanese conservatives are much smarter than American conservatives.
They named their party the "Liberal Democratic" party so the mainsteam media supports them there.
When an economic liberal party is in running the country for about 70 years then you can call it liberal conservative, we're not to far away from it here in the Netherlands. As other European countries we've shifted quite a bit towards liberalism for decennia, keeping the status quo right now is making those parties almost conservative. Just need a touch of nationalism and an awkward desire to live in the past out of the romance for nostalgia.
