Subject: Chee-Toy, you're confusing LDs for DVDs. :-)

Unlike DVDs, LaserDiscs do not have regional "zones."

Much like VHS, they're only divided up by the TV/video system. Japanese LaserDiscs are NTSC, since Japan is an NTSC nation. Most Japanese LaserDiscs are NTSC 3.58.

Great Britain is PAL. Most British discs are PAL B, I believe (I've never bought an LD from the UK before).

So yeah, you'll only be able to watch Japanese LaserDiscs if your player is designed to view NTSC.
