Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a direct renin inhibitor (DRI), aliskiren, on the urinary albumin excretion in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes under strict blood pressure control with angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Direct renin inhibitor Drug: Aliskiren
The patient will start taking one a daily 150 mg/day of aliskiren. In case blood pressure doesn't reach the target (SBP/DBP < 130/80 mmHg), higher dose of aliskiren will be given.In case the blood pressure doesn't achieve the target, another anti-hypertensive drug other than RAS inhibitors (ARB or ACE-inhibitor) or potassium-retaining diuretics will be added from the minimum effective dose.
Active Comparator: Angiotensin receptor blockers Drug: any angiotensin receptor blockers
The patient will start taking one a standard dose of an ARB in Japan. In case blood pressure doesn't reach the target (SBP/DBP < 130/80 mmHg), higher dose of the ARB will be given. In case the blood pressure doesn't achieve the target, another anti-hypertensive drug other than RAS inhibitors (DRI, another ARB or ACE-inhibitor) or potassium-retaining diuretics will be added from the minimum effective dose.
