Japanese TV are NTSC, i.e. you can watch a U.S. purchased DVD (region 
code 1) on your region free player on your Japanese TV. However, you 
won't be able to watch a U.K. purchased DVD (region code 2, same as 
Japan) because U.K. TV are PAL, which your Japanese TV can't comprehend. 
  Unless of course, you have a multisystem TV.
