It's not always the same day, this year is just coincidental.
Being a holiday established during the post-war US occupation of Japan, though, I wouldn't say it is entirely disconnected from the US holiday. It was willed into existence by Americans based on the fact that the US also celebrates a holiday around that time of year, and so the name is not coincidental.
I'd consider them as related as Christmas and Yule, at least.
