X ray all sky monitors (ASMs) have played a pioneering role for variable phenomena as well as new transients. This role of the ASM is still necessary for future high energy astrophysics. Now the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) on the Space Station is really under construction. JEM has an exposed facility for space observations which is scheduled to be operated from 2001. Since JEM goes round every orbit, the ASM might be one of suitable payloads for JEM. The observation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is also suitable for the JEM observational payload. Here we propose an X ray all sky monitor and a GRB observation for JEM. An ASM in the 2000 era will be required to detect weak sources such as active galactic nuclei, while it would be necessary for GRB instruments in the next decade to localize GRBs with high-precision such as approximately 1'.
