Foreigners have always been able to buy Japanese companies. Would be pretty strange for a load of them to be on the stock market if not!

The laws you've probably heard about I believe are for hostile takeovers, but if the company wants to sell... why shouldn't they be able to?

This is correct. Japan set itself it's own personal laws regarding hostile takeovers, in an attempt to stop them from being wiped out by global competitors (which has and still is a thing in todays world).
