Can someone explain to me why in Jazz or electronic music you often find rare japanese releases...is the japanese governement subsidising overseas artists to release stuff in their country?

it's an incentive to buy, since it is expensive to export there

So their government has high tariffs on imported music (cds etc..) and so artists worldwide will prefer to release a japanese edition/recorded in Japan to avoid this tariff and try and sell more records there...is this right...?
