Tokyo is a rather congested city when it comes to internet traffic, so LA may still get better responses.
There is another catch... if our connections are being routed via London by virtue of Australia being part of the European service territory, it means using a European server could actually be quicker. >_>

I wouldn't suggest using ping time samples (round-trip Internet latency) as the only criterion, and certainly not just one-time samples, but fwiw here's times within the past hour (times in milliseconds):
