It's not that they talk really fast per se; you're just not used to hearing it. M Japanese friends tell me I talk too fast sometimes when I'm just having a normal conversation with another English speaker. Or I have a friend who creates hip hop music, and he raps very slowly. I let my Japanese friends listen to it and they couldn't understand most of it (apart from the slang, but just the actual sentence structure and whatnot), even though he raps at about normal talking speed.
