Possibly, but then you have the issue of refresh rates to deal with. That said, Japan has a very odd electrical grid. Or rather it has _two_ grids, with one in the west running at 60Hz and the other in the east running at 50Hz. SCART didn't really see much adoption in Japan, and they even had their own incompatible variation in it - same connectors, different pinout - for reasons, but if you had a suitable cable, that wouldn't matter as the signals were the same, just in different places. I'm guessing the grey importers would substitute the Japanese A/V cable with something that would work in Europe.
