No seriously. Apparently there was a live concert of select cave story tracks performed in Japan mid last year.

My apologies if this is old news.

EDIT: Even worse is that the only videos of the event are region-locked.

Are you serious. Why would it be region locked, Japan shares plenty of other events/things, I don't understand. :T

I avoid most Japanese video games because their customer services are more biased towards Japan.

Could you bypass video region locking with a fake japanese IP or anonymizer? I would say it's an ok thing to do for Cave Story fans...

Okay, doing an awsome Japanese exclusive CaveStory launch event is one thing, but locking the videos so that only japanese people can see the event just made me shed a tear.

Offtopic, but makes me think of Famikon. Haha.

In the past I had seen some street vendor selling antique items, and one of them is a Famikon machine. Hah, if I only had a couple of FDS cartridges I'd buy it.

I know what you mean now andwhyisit, I was taking a look at the Cave Story 3ds JP website (Even though I can't read Japanese, but I kind of want to learn at least the basics of Japanese) and it looks 100 times better then the US version of Cave Story 3ds website. God, I love the different art style they did with it. I love all the character's fan art more then they did with US CS3d.
Anyway, stuff outside of JP CS3d:
Gotta love pokemon, (I really only like 3rd and 4th gen though)
Anime's are awesome (and not the horrible/sucky english dubs done, I prefer the original with english subtitles on)
After that, I can't think of anything else off the top of my mind, but I believe andwhyisit's point and mine are proven.

That suck's, i dont know of a good japanese proxy though.
Speaking of awesome things that only japan got:
In Animal Crossing e+(Japanese only), you could hit nook's shop with a shovel 3 times to wake up nook, and then buy items at night, and this was never in the us version.
I might add to this post later, but thats what comes to my mind right now. You should make this topic a general discussion for awesome things that only japan got.

What? I never even though of doing that in Animal Crossing... (I did read the Japan only thing) I always time traveled to the time I needed.
I do wish some of the items/things Japan gets before the US could go without major spoilers. (When SSBB; Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, people were complaining about stuff on forums that happened in the JP version of the game) Going back to what I said about pokemon, my little brother watched like, 10 parts of JP (English Speaker though) Pokepark 2: Wonder's Beyond.
*EDIT* 50 posts now, doesn't seem like I have that many.
