AHC: WWII: Germany Defeated, Japan survives

Your challenge is with a POD after January 1, 1942 is to have by January 1, 1947 Germany defeated and Japan either at an equal or superior peace with (US/UK/China) or still having the majority of the remaining warfare be off of the Japanese Home islands.

(I've seen a good number of TL with the reverse, Germany knocks out the USSR, the Allies knock out Japan anyway)
 
or still having the majority of the remaining warfare be off of the Japanese Home islands.

Well, I think I can work with this one. Let me be very short and glancing over all the "how it happens"

1. German Generals succeed in dethroning Hitler and eliminating Nazi Control.
2. ???
3. Germany switches sides after making adequate concessions to the west in their surrender.
4. ???
5. War turns into Giant Crusade against Communism™
6. Troops are diverted to Soviet Front, leaving too few for Downfall.
7. Japanese Home Islands are blockaded, so all major warfare is no longer being conducted there as they are starved into submission.
