the new treaty will enable Japan and Germany to "proactively contribute to peace and safety of the international community" together.

That sounds familiar:

The Imperial Government of Japan and the Government of Germany, […] Believing that the toleration of interference by the Communistic International in the internal affairs of nations not only endangers their internal peace and social welfare, but threatens the general peace of the world, […]

Given that the PRC is geographically “between” Germany and Japan similarly to how the Soviet Union was, I doubt that this is a mere coincidence.

Doesn't this violate the Japanese constitution or did they just decide to ignore it?

Japan has reinterpreted Article 9 to allow them to have “self defense” forces beyond reasonable interpretation of the actual text.
