Japan gets 99% of the hottest titles first. If US gamers freely import titles in, it'll eventually harm US sales 6 or 7 months down the road.
A perfect example is Gran Turismo 3 and 4. Those were in Japan WAY before the US releases. You don't need to know much Japanese to get your way though the screens.

There are "virtual sex" and many porn titles available for the PSOne and PSTwo ... by having no regional coding, adult titles are now on the US market.
Japanese games also feature much more colors and flashing CGI sequences. Before they are sold here, US developers often tone down colors and other potential seizure causing effects.
