Google it, there's a million interviews with EA execs and developers, all saying it's a licensing thing.

yeah.. they are crazy about video games and the women's team there but they probably all buy Konami's PES there which has the J league and Japanese commentary. I'm pretty sure PES outsells FIFA in Japan every year

So, hate to bump this, but PES doesn't have the licensed Japanese national team in there game. They have fake players and a fake kit. Weird.

Yeah read somewhere that Konami lost the JFA and J League license.

the fact that konami doesn't have that license anymore all but proves I was right. EA could have added a generic Japanese football team, but chose not to. How hard could that possibly have been? Lazy doesn't even begin to describe that.
