I’m small in Japan

I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes but not the face
I got the bread but not the butter
I got the winda but not the shutter

But I’m big in Japan I’m big in Japan But heh I’m big in Japan

“Big in Japan.” From Tom Wait‘s 1999 album Mule Variations.

Thank you, Internet, for allowing artists to be “big” anywhere. Last night I learned my new kid nonfiction book Girls Rule! is big in Indonesia. How big? The Indonesian online bookstore site says, “Stock is low!”

Yup. That’s me. Almost sold out in Indonesia.

Now if I could just conquer America. Or even Japan.
