They'd be dumb to not want to allow as many people as possibly access to the songs and I'm sure it doesn't cost them much to have them available on the marketplace.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking is that even if it were released, it wouldn't be region-free. But I know for a fact that X-Japan's "I.V." is on Rock Band 2 so the possibility of downloadable Japanese songs is definitely there. It would be pretty damn cool to be able to just start up Rock Band and download even more Japanese songs.
