First, most Japanese horses wouldn't qualify because they run in restricted races. International Cataloguing Standards does not recognize races restricted to Japanese-bred horses as group stakes in the sense that they would qualify runners for the Derby.
Second, running two Derbies, while a fun exercise in identifying what is wrong with the current qualifying system (a la Swift's "A Modest Proposal") is never going to happen, nor do I really think that anyone would want to see it happen. Everyone knows the qualifying method.
