Don't hold your breath, one problem you may have if you bought a CD
player for the Japaneese market is that they're on 50hz power.  If the
player isn't or can't be set for our 60hz, you're out of luck.  (At
least such was the case when I lived there 1965-1968.)

However, the models for export are definitely available in the 60hz
version, and may be available for a better price.  But I wouldn't
expect it to be too much less than an officially imported version
bought in the US through a discount house (or mail order).
