Or is doing it as some technicality from the U.S. government not acknowledging Japan's law when they should have.

One country's laws cannot override another country's laws on their soil. Japan can't invalidate a legal document that was created and granted in the US. Japan won't recognize the marriage, but the US does. That's why it needs to be taken care of in the US, not Japan. Japan can't do anything about a legal act that occurred on foreign soil; that's why the law doesn't say anything about other countries.
I'm surprised you live in this world thinking countries hold such power over each other. The world would be a hot mess if this were true.
