Actually, do you realize that for many Japanese cds, the OBI is the only place where the ISBN barcode is printed on the package? That way they don't have to have an ugly barcode on the actual CD package. There are exceptions, but for the most part, that barcode is a big reason why the OBI exists. For some CDs, there will be a slipcover with the ISBN in place of the obi, and the only time I've seen the ISBN printed directly on the back cover is when no OBI came with the CD to begin with.
