A Real Surprise Ending to Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" For Me

I'm sure this is common knowledge, but I sure didn't know about any of this...
So I was watching the new Disney/Pixar flick Wreck-It Ralph today (totally awesome movie, by the way), and when the movie ended, I let the credits run in case they stuck a clip or teaser on at the end (they didn't, but it DID have a very nice short "Paperman" following the movie), anyway, I got up to clear the table of snacks n stuff, and as the ending song played on in the background, I was stunned to realize: the ending song had at some point turned into a song sung in JAPANESE! 
I turned to the screen and said out loud, "The ending credits to Wreck It Ralph is a J-Pop song, and it sounds like a bunch of idol girls!!" I HAD to sit down and wait for the song credits to go by, and when the music titles came up, I was properly STUNNED to read: "Sugar Rush" performed by...AKB48!!!
WHAT! AKB48 sang the ending song to the latest DISNEY flick...in AMERICA???
Gotta say, I was impressed.
