How did the Land of the Rising Sun turn into one of the most 'weirdest' countries in the 21st century?

It was always pretty weird. It's a large isolated island country with a pretty unforgiving terrain.
United States told them they couldn't have an army. The army has always been the top dog in Japanese culture. Once the army was out of the way, the merchant class, which for all of Japan's life has been the absolute lowest class, decided to take over as they were no longer oppressed by the army and had the most money.
No moral barriers like in case of Christians or Muslims.
what makes it wierd
Having an intense warrior culture being forcefully taken away overnight will do strange things to your culture.

Weird is a pretty subjective term, but maybe the extremely strong work ethic leads to increased desire of escapism? I'm no psychologist so I can't really know, but I don't think it has as much to do with history as people give it credit for

>By Japanese law, any lawfully produced pornography must censor the genitals of actors and actresses and up until the mid-1990s so was the depiction of pubic hair. Anuses are only censored at contact or penetration. This type of censoring also extends to comics, video games, and anime made for adults. In the attempts to circumvent this type of censoring (and to cater to particular fetishes), actors and producers have featured subject matter unseen or rarely depicted in western pornography.
And that is how bukkake, gokkun, omorashi, and tentacle were born.

Short Manlets with trash tier tactics might as well be peasants.
And most of the fighting was done by peasants.

They've always been pretty sexually liberated and don't have a societal taboo about nudity like in the west.
