The Japanese apples are generally more expensive and more popular than the US imported apples. However, the US imported apples are much cheaper at least here in Nagano. The Japanese apples also sell out faster. I actually like the big Japanese apples the best myself. It's also interesting that most American ( I believe ) eat apples with the skin or without, while the Japanese only eat the insides. I haven't really met anyone who will eat apple skin. Perhaps someone Japanese could chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.
