If you're speaking of superstar in terms of movie actors, I think it's a language/money thing.  Japan has a history of samurai movies, which don't generally feature the kind of kung fu we see in Jackie and Bruce's flicks.  A Japanese actor can make a huge paycheck working in films/TV in Japan and don't need to learn English or pander to American audiences.  It's a difficult thing to make yourself a star in America if English isn't your native language.  \n\nAnother problem is Japanese acting technique.  Japanese acting tends to run towards extreme subtlety (woodenness to some audiences) or overt melodrama.  It doesn't really mesh with many American scripts.  \n\nJust a few theories...

There is no US All star team in Japan at the moment\n\nThere is a MLB All Star team, so dominicana_luva24 you are out of form aswell.\n\nThey are playing 5 games, i think Arroyo is the next starter, Lackey was one\n\nhttp://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/events/japan_series/y2006/index.jsp?content=roster_mlb

Of the ones that are still alive and currently making music, Robbie Williams is well known world wide.  He's very popular everywhere except the United States.

Japanese and all Nations speak the same when it comes to music. So one two three four... is the same in any language.  I have been in Japan for 10 years and I know many musicians and dancers. It is the same.

Trust me, they aint that weak in football as you think. It just that they are lack of physical ability such as stamina, height, etc than the caucasian. But they make it up with their skills! Go to China/Korea/Japan or even some countries like Indonesia. They could juggle and pass the ball as good as the brazilian. Why you don't see that many Asian in the international league is because you could get same player with the same skills in Europe + the heighthen physical ability.

As of right now, as in 1947, it's important for Japanese players to be impact players in the league.  As time goes on and its more common that Japanese players are in the league, they will need to validate their greatness by championships.

Honor is too big of a concept in Japanese culture for them to fix sumo wrestling matches. \n\nThey are no more fixed than any other sporting event...

I'm not even sure about the Japanese, but I agree, it's totally pathetic If I was a player I'd be worried about being seen to be such a wuss as to fall down crying at the slightest contact.\n\nIt doesn't help that FIFA have warned officials AGAINST issuing yellow cards against divers!

Japan hired a coach who can't even speak Japanese. \nIt's all about skill.

If my memory is correct she came out with an album in the USA but it bombed. \nIt seems she is only popular in Japan. It is too bad she can't enjoy the cross over success such as Puffy does.
