This may be painfully obvious once you think about it, but for those who haven't, here's a way to get around the Xbox 360 country lock for downloadable content. Microsoft's chosen to disable certain game demos and game videos for people of certain regions, but we want all our media to be free, don't we?
Go online to xbox.com and register a new gamertag with an email address not associated with any previous account. Then make sure you set your country to either Japan or America—perhaps making one tag for each. Then when that's done, go on your Xbox 360 and choose "recover gamertag" to grab the info from this tag onto your 360. Now you can see all the Japanese games you've been missing out on.

Totally awesome, got to download Rainbow Six. Thank you guys
I believe the easier way would be to buy a Japanese 360 from an import site like Lik-Sang...D'oh!
Why does that Xbox's interface look diffrent then mine?

Japanese games blow, there all dumb animated characters, most of which are fictitious creatures.
L-a-m-e.
murc says that [sic]"there all dumb animated characters, most of which are fictitious creatures."
Two things:
One: you seem to base your opinion of all Japanese games on Pokemon. Also, you seem to have forgotten about American games like Viva Pinata, etc.
Two: because of your self-imposed mental block, you seem to have lost the ability to spell simple words like "they're."
Geirskogui! I choose you!
