Each one of those chunky ass towers is nearly 3 million square feet, or ~40% larger than the Empire State Building with only 40 stories vs the ESB's 102. Incredible. Could this be due to earthquakes and tsunamis? Does making these buildings chunky help them during those events??

A wider footprint helps a ton with seismic design. It's definitely the main driver behind the chunkiness of large buildings in Japan.
