The US market and the Japanese market are a few decades apart in history. Japan's market is what the US used to have before people decided the products were low in quality and poor in design. That gave Japan an opportunity to inject the US market with its products. For the US to be very successful in Japan, it is necessary to make their products seem inferior.
