Why do the Japanese get special treatment when it comes to Albums

Japanese get like extra tracks compared to the Albums we get in the U.S. and we make 60% of the music and Canada and european nations make the rest, so why do the Japanese get special treatment? For example Linkin Park album Hybrid Theory has 12 track in the U.S. edition but it has 14 in the Japanese one and LP is Amercians from SoCal(Southern California)! Why Why Why...........anyone know?

Simply because Japan > Worldjointed

I haven't been to japan so I don't know if this is true for every album, but I think you're taking this from a local record store experience.

When you go the the import section you'll notice that just about every IMPORT album has extra tracks on it, and this may give you the idea that these counties get extra tracks on all their albums.  The problem is there's no incentive for your record store to sell an IMPORT album that's exactly the same as the one sold in the US.

You really think that we need more tracks on LP and FoB albums? Well, to each his own..
