Halla, I think this is due to many things, but not that they are "really popular". Really popular artists in japan are either japanese, backstreet boys, mariah carey or britney spears. However I think for artists who aren't in the spotlight all the time it's good for business to release more in Japan as the consumers are more consistent and it keep the interest. Also I would guess the japanese music consumer would demand more as they have been spoiled with remixes, spin off products and other things which explains the price difference for CDs. I know artists like madonna and kylie had more tracks on japan versions of certain singles.
The most popular artist making something hippty hoppy at the moment would be namie amuro and soul'd out.
