The Japs would bomb NY with MIRV'ed Citizen watches and other precision objects until the Yanks gave up, surely, which is more or less what's happening anyway.

The question really is what will happen when the lights go out everywhere, not just Japan?

Japan is peculiarly interdependent, spent +$50bn on imported energy alone last year.

What will happen, more specifically, when there is a struggle for control of Caspian oil, between Japan/China and EuroAmerica? Think it won't happen?

It will. It is.
