Importing from Amazon Japan to the UK

Isn’t the Japanese market more expensive than the UK as discs are seen as a luxury product?

They’ve had a few notable exclusives over the years e.g. The Last Emperor in the OAR, or Waves and A Hard Day’s Night on 4K UHD.

That's exactly opposite with JP folks. They spend more on physical media than any of us- Why do you think record labels always get a special JP edition , be on Vinyl or CD.

Even when it comes to BD, it surprises me with the number of BD premier releases of so many films. For ex, Stalker was released two years before it was by CC although it was't the best quality but you'd get the idea how JP consumers are curious. There are so many of such examples like few films off the current Polish Cinema show happening on Second Run @ Vimeo.
