Simple: they have a lot of people and a lot of industry, so they require a lot of electrical energy. Japan imports some fossil fuels, but most of this goes into producing electricity, and into fuels for cars, trucks, and planes.

What is energy flow in the circle of life?

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one type of energy into another. All of our energy comes from the Sun. Plants store that energy in the 'food' they make, glucose, a type of sugar, which then gets packaged into larger molecules of starch. Animals eat plants and the energy in the plants is used by the animals which eat the plants to provide the fuel for all the chemical reactions in their body. Then other animals eat the animals which eat the plants and so on and so on. So the energy comes from the Sun, is stored (and used) by plants through photosynthesis, then by organisms which eat the plants and so on.
