Japanese women purposely pitch their voices higher to sound that young

This is partially true. Anime voices are highly exaggerated, though many Japanese women do pitch their voices higher, they tend to drop the habit sometime in their thirties.

I will say, though, that from a phonological perspective, there's something about the Japanese language that gives everyone a tendency to pitch their voices higher. I've noticed this bilingual foreigners and bilingual ethnic Japanese - overwhelmingly, people of any ethnicity will speak in deeper voices in English than in Japanese. If I could hazard a guess, I would say that it has something to do with the quality of Japanese vowels and the lack of anything gutteral and back-throaty. It's all very front-mouthy.
