No one talks about it much but a lot of American music gets released elsewhere (Europe, Japan) because the money made from Overseas finances the US release. Don't know if this is the case with this record. Oh and in American English 'Jap' is a word for Japanese people with ugly racist overtones. Since you're posting from Brazil, I don't think you ment any harm, but maybe file that word along with other 'English words that could get my ass kicked.'
