Think we should have $1 coins? Yeah... me too. They should still put Washington's face on it though. /Offtopic

There is a 2 week difference on the JP/US release so I doubt there will be that many people in japan importing the game so do they really think its worth making customers around the world angry for a few extra sales in Japan ?
I honestly dont think they are looking at the bigger picture here.

But they know the game will really sell in Japan... but at a 35% higher price (around $90) versus in the states where it has both full English and full Japanese text and voices but also at $60. I will just say this... region locking is money grubbing. If you fear of loosing sales... sell it for the same price to make importing the more expensive route (cause the cheapest shipping from the states to Japan for something that weights under a pound is like $15?).

If they tried to price it at the Japanese level anywhere else, no one would buy it in the other markets.
They're probably more worried about large group buys on Amazon by Japanese gamers than they are anything else.
