DING!
That's how I found out about Sweetbox. I was in a record store in Chiba and one of her songs came on the overhead speakers. I went to a clerk and asked 'Who is this?', She gave me the deer in headlights look, so I pointed to the ceiling and she pointed to a Sweetbox display the size of a car lot (minor exaggeration), the only other media I saw in Japan with that kinda of promo/display was Fairyland, 24 and Namie.
So, I bought the CD and told the clerk to GTFO for not knowing english in Chiba/Tokyo area.
