The same can be said of the current popularity of Japanese horror films and anime. They satisfy a need for the exotic, usually amongst people whose taste is typically quite conservative. They too find it hard to get beyond the whole 'those Japanese nutcases/perverts/whatevers' syndrome.
That said, anyone whose seen the goings on at Yoyogi Park on a Sunday would have to admit that the Japanese treat Western popular culture in much the same way.
