Big in Japan: Billy Blank, Fitness Guru

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.

    The boom is already over.

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