Japan via Rocket News : "PSY had already begun to be featured on Japanese morning variety news programs back in July, but the reaction from viewers was horrible. This was right around the time when Japanese media were under fire for over-promoting K-pop while attitudes toward Korea were souring, and the reason K-Pop became so popular in Japan in the first place is because Korean artists are known for being beautiful, so PSY looked completely out of place on screen.
Even if he debuted in Japan, I don't think he would have sold very much. The stereotype in Japan is that Korean stars are extremely attractive. The men are handsome and kind. There was even a stereotype, based on Korean soap operas, that Korean men were nicer than Japanese men. And the stereotype for Korean women was that they have very long legs and are extremely attractive.
For the Japanese, he probably looks more like some comedian, so people might wonder what the fuss is over the song. Japan has its own ironic music acts Kishidan , anyone?
PSY, however, probably could eventually hit it big in Japan, especially if tensions between Korea and Japan calm down. NicoNico News did a story about Japanese people talking about the song on Twitter, so there is probably interest. But, it will also take the Japanese mass media to ensure that the song explodes by having PSY pop up in commercials, variety shows, music shows—you name it. If he gets the same push that other Korean artists previously got in Japan, his music will go supernova.
