Differences:

1.  The cover of _The Kick Inside_ is different.  The British cover
is the "kite" picture; the Japanese cover is the "pink outfit" picture.

2.  The cover of _Never For Ever_ is different.  The Japanese box
set uses a blow up of the regular cover.

3.  There are two booklets, not just one.  The extra one is 
apparently a complete biography of Kate.  Unfortunately, it's
all in Japanese.

4.  Each of the albums, including the two extra ones, comes
with a booklet much longer than the British ones.  The booklets
each contain lots of writing in Japanese, as well as the lyrics
for the album in both Japanese and English.  This means that
the lyrics for the two extra albums ARE included in the Japanese
box set.  To me, this is the most important difference between
the two sets.

5.  I've heard, but cannot confirm, that the Japanese set sounds
better.
