Default When we lower interest rates

When we lower interest rates, the value of the currency goes down, because more money is printed. Right?

Yet according to "expert statements" I've read today, when the Japanese lower the interest rates, the value of the yen goes up "because the demand for borrowing money in yen goes up".

What gives?
