And has been for over 20 years!! Japan STILL pretends we don’t exist! We don’t want or need whatever trash “gL0BaL sTaNdArDs” will be! Acknowledge us, pull your heads out of the ground and stop hoarding every damn thing! The only thing they need to do to “Cater” to the rest of the world is make their entertainment and merchandise available! As in send it to other countries! There’s soo many things that I’d love to buy but are or were Japanese Exclusive Only. Meaning if you don’t live in Japan you can’t buy it. Example: The physical pre order $100 edition of Monster Hunter Wilds came with an adorable baby seikret plush. The Poké Center…They know how popular they are world wide. But they constantly release plushies that are Japan only. The eevee backpack from the game Scarlet & Violet. There’s no way they genuinely believe no one outside of Japan DOESN’T WANT THAT. I could on for literal years. Meanwhile in the US we, for the most part get bland, generic, merchandise. Most times we get the leftovers that didn’t sell well in Japan! And they’re like Ah, well..maybe forginers will like it? And we buy it, cause if we don’t; there won’t be anything else!
They know English as a second language start with that! I would love in house translation! Remove the region locks I know you have on any streaming sites and let us pay for subscriptions too!

Without that, shows like The Simpsons and games like GTA would be worse off for it.
