I can't explain why they dont bother with the small things, but Tokyo and the surrounding area has something like 35 million people. More people through the gates means they can afford a bigger budget.

While this sounds true for America, it may be a completely different story for other areas of the world. For example, Australia has never had a stand-up coaster and from what i've learned from talking to non-coaster enthusiasts, most people living here have no idea this type of ride even exists. This could mean that even though it may not be the most enjoyable coaster, it would still be a good move for an Australian park since they could easily market it well to the unknowing Australian crowd. Although chances are it won't be Australia since we have very few theme parks here which usually don't commit a great deal of money to new attractions, hence why there are still no B&M's here.

Based on the park map from the Herald Sun, it looks like this 'great' rollercoaster they're talking about will be a B&M Dive Machine!
