I don't know about Japan but as a platformer lover I can say LBP is a pretty weak platformer so that could be why it's not insanely popular in the land of platforming.

can you explain how its a weak platformer. ?

It's mostly the floaty physics that screw it up, it makes for imprecise jumps and unexciting gameplay. There's not much you can do besides jump and grab things.
