A May 2004 story by AppleInsider said that internal Apple documents revealed 27 prospective retail store locations in Japan, and
listed them in four priorities A-D. It's possible this document was research material only, and not intended as a final list of sites
for future stores. But based on that story, here is the list of potential Japan retail store locations by city and prefecture:
