Most likely, a US bought DVD player, even though it is NTSC, will not be able to play a Japanese DVD (since Japan is in Region 2, US is Region 1).

DVD regional coding and analog broadcast formats are different issues. So, not only does your DVD's broadcast format have to match your equipment (NTSC, for instance) but your DVD player has to be able to play DVD's from that region.
