Does anyone know why Japanese CDs are always superior to their U.S. counterparts? (Bonus tracks; fancier artwork; etc.)

Americans would buy anything, so they don't need to make things extremely nice for us; it's the same thing with clothing, we get all the European rejects when we shop at D&G, Armani and so on. Have you noticed?
it is because everything tech that is Japanese is superior to anything the U.S. can come up with.

Yup! I lived there for 6 years, in order to sell japanese-made cd's for a higher price they have to put some extras like bonus songs, cards, cardboard fancy cd covers.....
