If people spend money on something so faithfully, I can guarantee you they're satisfied with themselves. Even if the money spent makes no sense to some people, as long as you're satisfied, it becomes worth it.

Some people don't go out often, or they go out but don't spend much money. Working people especially earn enough money to burn. Moreso if they live alone and only need to care for themselves.

I know a few people in FTP games that pay out ~$4000 a month because they work and come home and its straight to the game after a shower and some food. They go out to eat and etc but they also are adults who earn enough money to blow on games at their own comfort and expense.

Shelling out money for VC is not that large of an expense either to many people, especially the Japanese (Probably because life in Japan isn't all that expensive, and considering how powerful the Japanese yen is). It's also that, Japanese people are very high on console and phone games while westerners are more into PC games. They may see VC as a worthwhile game to pay for, much more than westerners would.

VC is considered pretty cheap for a phone app to get ranked. 3 events ago, I only spent $120 and made it into the top 30. Most of my maiden tickets went to swords, however.

I could be wrong about the JP player ranking idea though since I haven't scrolled past a certain number on the rank boards.
