whats the reason that bands like Fair Warning or MR. Big or whatever are that huge in Japan???

Whats the reason for that?? More promotion, "better, more loyal" fans, just the real belief of fans in Rock and Roll....?

I mean look at Europe, Fair Warning... an awesome band, AND a german band, but no one in Germany or austria seems to know them........
Actually i believe that MHR will make its big come back n EUrope, cause sooo many cool bands exist, but its goin to be a loooong way till those bands get recognized by the "normal" medias. japan seems to be one step forward....


any opinions?
