I think its due to higher costs of CD's there and also I think some releases come out later overseas, so they might add additional tracks that were recorded after the initial recording date as well. I know I have a Bjork CD that was an import that came with an extra track (don't think it was Japanese though). I also remember awhile ago seeing an import from Japan with 4 bonus tracks over the copy I had (was like $25 though).
