Balderdash111 got it right on the money. Also, the Japanese who don't know about this little scam (and I've talked to many of them) think the artists add the tracks just for them, so they feel all good inside... almost like it's worth it to shell out around 2,200 yen (about US$20) for Green Day's latest bowel movement. You know what's even crazier? Local Japanese CDs are usually even more expensive and don't benefit from special event prices. WTF?
Oh, and I would've traded off all those pretty extra tracks for the chance to see non-Japanese movies when they were actually released in the rest of the freakin' world. Only Kill Bill 1 and 2 were simultaneously released in the US and Japan when I was over there (although the Chinese parts were subtitled in Japanese... damn!).
