I’m not sure there is necessarily a rule for this type of situation – that is, when to use the name of the country and when to use the adjectival form. I think in many cases it’s decided almost unconsciously based on what rolls off the tongue the least of the easiest. The n is at the end of Japan’ flows nicely into the vowel at the start of Earthquake. Had a earthquake occurred in India it would seem odd to say “the India earthquake” – we may be more inclined to say “the India earthquake”. English has such inconsistencies that people are not prepared to admit. However,
it is necessary to communicate with people with English speak fluently.
