Also the name of a late 1970s punk band. "Big in Japan" is also referenced in the lyrics of several other bands such as Tom Waits and New Radicals, where the phrase is used to describe the singer's supposed fame in Japan, not the punk band.
"...I hear I'm big in Japan..." - Taken from the lyrics of You Only Get What You Give, by New Radicals.
