Sometimes it's more feasable to live without visiting, than to visit first then decide to live. Japan in particular is a very expensive country to visit, if someone only had a limited ammount of savings then to visit would probably use up a good chunk of money, maybe all of it. It'd make moving over then a lot harder because they'd need to save all over again.
I think there's also a mentality that you can "live" abroad and always return if you dislike it, making it more of an 'extended visit', but if you do love it then you can always stay for longer/forever. Sure, it's not always the best way of doing things, and visiting a country before deciding to live there is always best, but sometimes it's the easiest/best way of doing things depending on the individual.
Or at least that's how I see it, lol.
