Big in Japan is an expression that can describe Western (especially American or European) musical groups who achieve success in Japan at higher levels than they do in other parts of the world (including their home nations). The phrase began to appear in several major Japanese foreign-rock magazines, especially Music Life magazine, in the late 1970s, though the phenomenon was noted prior to this.
