Hmm... I'm pretty sure I haven't posted any Japanese LD caps. I'm capping from PAL for the most part; I only made a few sample NTSC-J caps back when I was testing.
Oh, hell: I have a couple of screencaps. Why don't I post 'em already??

JapanAll these caps were made with the same hardware, software, and settings. They were even taken about 5 minutes apart, so the phase of the moon was also the same. To my eye, the Japanese images are better: blacker blacks, and whiter whites. More easily tweakable.
Not tons of difference (same telecine transfer, of course), but at the pointy end of SW LD conversions, maybe worth worrying about?
