I would add to this article Deep Purple, wich is a good example of Big in Japan with their Made in Japan album (one of the live records most popular of all times). I don't edit the article by myself because my english is not very well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.116.186.163 ( talk) 16:43, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Would it be worth mentioning that the mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap", which lampoons many of the more frivolous aspects of rock and roll culture ends with the reunited band (after failing to get large gigs in America) going on a succesful Japanese Tour?

As written on the article, Yōgaku is considered an established genre, as you can see its own category on Amazon.co.jp. Also, Yōgaku doesn't mean "foreign musical acts", it just means "foreign music" (Yō = abroad, gaku = music), more specifically, Western music. Try another decent dictionary or google translation. 218.222.54.203 ( talk) 15:34, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Quoting "Australian kickboxer Peter Graham is way more known than Jenson Button (a world-wide famous Australian F1 driver who, in Japan, is only known as a former boyfriend of a Japanese fashion model)"
Since when Graham is more famous in Japan than Button, and since when the 2009 F1 World Champion was Australian. Note that I shall be removing this claim is there is no reliable third party source can be found to support this fact.

– Seems like the phrase from which all other uses originated, and therefore the primary base concept topic. The disambiguation page should be moved to make way. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 11:39, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Is this also used for Japanese bands which are "world-famous in Japan", but virtually unknown outside the asian market? (Like B'z) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.246.3.186 ( talk) 12:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
