Asian education is dominated by forced memorization. Very little critical analysis or anything else. Just memorize facts and do well on test. All that matters to them is face and bragging about test scores.

So games that rely in memorizing patterns will naturally be cracked very easily by the Japanese. That's why Shmups and Rhythm games dominate so much. But if you throw in random elements, the players crumble and get frustrated.
