I finally got time to look at this.  My guess is that there is
something about your source (japan_cmt_event) that is causing the
difference.  If I run your script with china_cmt_event, then I get
similar amplitudes.  So you could try starting with the
china_cmt_event, incrementally modifying it to japan_cmt_event, and
see where the change comes from.
