That's because they're closer to them than the other datacenters, but it's targeted for Japan mainly. Same way middle east players usually play in European servers, because it's closer for them and they don't have a dedicated region server, and still get higher ping than usual. Or recently I met a couple of players from South America playing on Europe and they said their ping is around the same to EU and NA servers, because they're so far from NA datacenter server that the difference is like 15 ping for them and they prefer EU servers.
