Well Japan was so isolated (they never even traded for many years except a little bit with China) for many years that a lot of stuff that didn't already have a symbolic kanji were unknown to them. So a lot of words (think how computer is usually the same no matter what language it is) are based on the English one.

Why do they use so many English words? O_o
