Japanese enunciation requires a consonant and a vowel to be paired together. I still don't understand the full logic behind it, but basically, with a word that ends in a consonant, the Japanese cannot leave it as is. It is natural for them to end almost every single word in a vowel by just throwing one on at the end.
Again, sorry if this explanation isn't up to par. A few more visits and I should be more suited to answer your question

Just a quick note:
(Edit: you're right about Amuse! I read the wrong company (笑) )
About ending in a consonant. There's plenty that end with ん, or 'n'. 簡単 = かんたん = kantan = easy.
But it is true, the phonetic of thingsl ike BRIDE (ブリッド？) and Impul (インプル) are kinda weird in that they have vowels at the end. That's just the way they're pronounced. Dunno.
I don't want to write a doctorate thesis here on the Japanese language, but Hunter...you're close, but not QUITE yet, haha. もっと勉強しろ！(笑）
If you have some questions about Japanese, feel free to PM me (good practice for me too, I'm studying for JLPT Level 1 this year!)
