Thank goodness for the spambot writers and other criminals. China couldn't care less about the censorship and Internet freedom moaning and groaning. They didn't want to turn the country into a giant botnet from the gaping security holes in Green Dam.
Seriously, have you played this game? The only thing "traditional" about it is the drums.
The music in the game is from anime, J-Pop, even classical music (William Tell Overture). There's even some disco!
It's a game that's very easy to pick up and play. The important thing for Namco is they need to pick the right songs for the American market. If they do that well, I don't see why this won't be successful for them.
I live near Nagoya (Japan's 3rd largest city) and just like the Tokyoites are saying, PSXs all over the place.
Not only that, remember when PS2s were hard to find and they were going for ridiculous prices on eBay? Well, I checked out Yahoo Japan Auctions and PSXs are going for about 10000 yen (~$100 US) LESS than retail. Obviously, not a lot of demand.

Apparently you don't want to live nearby (see the bottom of the story).
This sounds like it's worse than living next to an airport.

Now I understand why Microsoft is installing software into our cars.
Mind-control exhaust fumes.
