You said it hit really close to home, but those that are asking you why you are moving to Japan are your friends and fellow countrymen, and have a stereotype about people that are interested in Japan.
This is different from topic of the blog post, which was about a foreigner in Japan who is (oddly) tired of Japanese people asking why he chose to move to Japan. As was stated by more than one person here, it probably has to to with some Japanese native's negative feelings (or low esteem) for Japan as living/working destination.
It's not a narrow perception, but a clear one.
