I understand other countries' concerns, but what are the agendas of Japan and South Korea?

Trade, mostly. Lobbying to make it easier for Americans to buy Japanese goods.
Japan's registered lobbyists include various trade organisations, and individual companies looking for access to the US market. These countries come at the top because they are rich and do a lot of business with the USA.
Individual lobbyists might have specific concerns, Eg NHK, (Japanese broadcaster) lobbies regarding Japanese language education (for Japanese children in the US)
