Fair enough. Although I'm sure Japanese fen are pleased to be hosting a Worldcon, there's no real reason why the average Japanese Jophan should find the ongoing administrivia of WSFS (whether Hugos or site selection) of interest - no matter how much it fascinates us! I suppose the real comparison would be with the other two Worldcons held in non-English-speaking venues (1990 and 1970) - although I suspect that Japanese fandom probably feels even less connection with mainstream English-speaking fandom than the Germans or the Dutch.
