You have to realize that these women are actual models and those models are licensed for the JAP version. A perfect example is Shenmue; they had Coke officially licensed in the JAP version but the US version had to get rid of it.

It hurts a little to lose those things but, we still get 99% of the game. Plus DLC ^^

Free DLC I might add. And, you still get to date chicks in there... For you dudes that like that kind of stuff. >_>

still day 1 buy for me, hostess clubs would be nice, i mean i like twinkies, ding dongs and ho ho's just as much as anybody but i'll survive

If you can talk Japanese, I guess you'd want to import ?
