Japanese releases with extra tracks?

It seems like a significant number of artists who work in many styles of music (rock, electronic music [Autechre, for one example], etc.) include "extra" tracks on the Japanese release of their album. Anybody have any idea when or why this "tradition" started, or who started it?

I have the Japanese release of BT's "Movement In Still Life"...had different tracks/different order than the US release which sucked IMO, plus a 2nd disc.
