The Japanese market are super behind on what the scale of the market for merch is outside of their domestic sales. It's a little odd how difficult it is to get them to commit to anything at scale.
my impression is they kinda dont really care much for foreign markets, being how big their economy got until the 90s maybe they're like that for a reason
AFAIK anything tied to otaku and weeb culture knows it' isn't serving a giant industry, at least until now
