As far as vinyl is concerned i assumed that they are pressed on high quality plastic, and another factor maybe the strength of the Yen against other currencies.

Three reasons:
1 - They cost more to begin with.
2 - Albums are pressed on very high-quality vinyl and usually mastered quite well.
3 - CDs often have exclusive bonus tracks (added to encourage Japanese to buy domestic copies instead of cheaper imports).
