The good people at Score Hero would like to have a word with you.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

By chance, can any of you help me find an NTSC-J version of Guitar Hero for PS2? Not even at Play Asia dot com.

Once you show me the American version of Guitar Freaks I'll tell you where to get the Japanese version of Guitar Hero.

~ Pattern recognition.
~ The ability to "1cc".
~ Quick reflexes = survival.
~ Memorable music.
~ Guitar Hero, a fundamentally a single-player game, has the option to play with and only one other player at a time (online play notwithstanding).
~ Multiple ways to track progress/success--Points, 100%-ing a song (similar to "1cc"-ing.)
Oh. And being "in the zone."
