Doubt it. Lobbying influence varies from industry to industry. Both countries try to take extreme steps from time to time on copyright (see SOPA and PIPA attempts in the US), so I'm not sure if copyright lobbying in Japan is worse. I am sure that military, pharmaceutical, oil, and health insurance industry lobbying for example is worse in the US than in Japan.
