Japan is in the midst of a "Bootcamp" craze that swept through the US a couple of years ago.

Japan has discovered exercise guru Billy Blanks and is in the midst of a "Billy’s Bootcamp" craze. Billy is trying to fill his pockets with as much cash as he can get out of his fad-like popularity in Japan, even releasing a "rap" song called BOOM BOOM WONDERLAND.

Apparently, Billy Blanks is more famous than the iPhone in Japan!

That’s because Japan and the rest of the tech-savvy world know that there are way better phones that have been out for years.

Omelettes are more famous than the iPhone in Japan.

Is “Big in Japan” a reference to the Tom Waits song by that name, or to something else? Or not to anything?
