Will Japanese power distributor work in US?


Thinking of getting an Oyaide OCB-1 power distributor, a very simple 6-outlet design. Amazon.jp has them for around $220, much cheaper than buying from dealers. Question: are the outlets/sockets/cable plugs the same for Japan and USA, or should I be looking for special export models? Also, has anyone had experience with Hubbell 4-plex extension outlets? Are they any good? Many thanks.

I used to bring bands to Japan to tour there. The power is 100V vs. 110-120V in the US. We never had a problem running amps there on that lower power. The finicky musicians never noticed any change in sound of their gear either. If the piece you are looking to buy doesn't have a power regulator that is trying to set itself at 100V you are probably within the useful range of the product.
