Sony and NTT Docomo have a stranglehold on the Android ecosystem. No JP NFC supporting android phone ever has more than 3 LTE bands. The only unlocked Android phone that isn't crippled is Oppo's Reno A, and that's an expensive middle range Qualcomm SoC, which is slower than Apples 3 year old devices.
Apples iOS presence in Japan is VERY well executed.

EDIT: kinda curious why there are so many downvotes. There isn't anything factually wrong about this post.
