The JP 2.0 disc has only 2 'extras', both in HD:

• "Promotion movie" (41 s)
• "Theatrical Trailer" (51 s)

In short, the JP disc has a ~50% higher video bitrate (34 mbps vs. 23 mbps) but has a 16-bit 6.1 channel JP audio track instead of the 24-bit 6.1 channel JP track on the US release, and also lacks the English dub (for what that's worth).
