After having had a few Jap imports I can help with the radio.
Japanese radios work in a different frequency band and have different separation between stations as here'
Japanese VHF FM frequency band
The VHF FM band that issued within Japanese extends from 76 to 90 MHz because the 90 to 108 MHz band is used for analogue VHF television - three channels each 6 MHz wide.
The Japanese VHF FM band is only 14 MHz wide and this limits the number of stations that can be accommodated, and as a result, many stations use AM.
Uk is this VHF FM broadcast band plan for UK
In the UK, the VHF FM broadcast band is split between the various forms of broadcasting supplied by the national broadcaster, the BBC, which is funded by a licence fee, and independent radio which is funded on a commercial basis, chiefly by advertising.
Frequency Band
MHz Application
87.5 - 88.0
Restricted Service Licences
88.0 - 90.2
BBC Radio 2
90.2 - 92.4
BBC Radio 3
92.4 - 94.6
BBC Radio 4
94.6 - 96.1
BBC local radio
96.1 - 97.6
Independent local radio
97.6 - 99.8
BBC Radio
99.8 - 102.0
Independent national radio
102.0 - 103.5
Independent local radio
103.5 - 104.9
BBC local radio
104.9 - 108.0
Independent local radio
It can be seen that specific BBC national radio stations are allocated bands within the overall band-plan. The requirement for this amount of spectrum enables the whole country to be covered without undue levels of interference because stations are not sufficiently spaced in distance.
Dont know about in the UK but in NZ we could buy a range extender which converted the Jap frequencies to the NZ ones It just plugs in the aerial lead
