You've read previously about Fender taking over the Japanese manufacturing themselves. As such, the Japanese webpage had been adopting the USA format since its effect. What happened to the Japanese models? Many of them had been re-named like the ST-62 here, now known as the Classic 60s Strat (Texas Special pickups are options) but they are still made in Japan.
Ditto the ST-70, now re-named as the Classic 70s Strat. These are not to be confused with the Classic series which are made in Mexico. Some of the over-lapping models like the Malmsteen signature Strat, had been deleted from the catalogue. Hopefully, the QC standard is upheld & from the looks of it, prices remain largely unchanged. If there is any hike in price, it's down to currency exchange issues. Hopefully, it stays this way.
