No, don't forget Japan is alot bigger than the UK, Kaz, so I still think we take the lead!
Great for Japan though, I knew they would like it!  Well, Ok, I guess that was a little obvious. Because It's GREAT! :sorcerer:

I've always noticed that when there is an obsession over something that it's the Chinese that are the most obsessed. But at least they've picked something great. Maybe they're more obsessed than i am over Harry Potter and thats saying something. | |
