Relentlessly advertising yourself and pushing for your own career is the absolute norm for JP idols and anyone who does something similar to that. Hell I'm sure people here have seen the photos of idols lowering themselves to advertising their own CDs and DVDs on the street for example.
But here when some EN girl advertises herself that way it's all "cringe" and "eww" and people don't want anyone to push their own career. It's looked down upon, you're supposed to not care at all, even better keep your SCs off like Ame and never shill anything you do.
