After listening to some examples, I think the authentic cadence is definitely a huge part of it, yeah.
I guess it would be fair to say, generally speaking, that Japanese popular music is less afraid of "straightforward" melody and harmony?
Like you said, there are obviously exceptions, but this is just what I've noticed as an American with superficial knowledge of Japanese music.
(thanks, brp! I can always count on you for super-detailed but interesting explanations haha)
