I think you also have to factor in the mentality too, there are probably 10:1 
snappers in Japan vs the UK. I do expect that Japanese produced film will 
remain viable there for a while but don't expect that it will be readily 
available elsewhere though.

A friend of mine shot this pic in a medium sized Japanese camera store about 
three years ago:

Even B&H doesn't have anything even remotely like that.
