It looks like they were inspired by Taiwanese Pineapple Cakes. For pineapple cake fillings, the pineapples are cooked down until they become a jam. Sometimes they add fillers like wintermelon to make it smoother and less acidic, probably similar to why white bean paste was added.

I suspect the pineapple in the manufactured manju was prepared like a jam or confit. If you were to make your own version again, perhaps start there, and add a bit of fresh pineapple to the cooked pineapple and bean paste mixture to preserve that texture you enjoyed, while marrying the flavors more. (also, keep in mind your manju were fresh, whereas the Sakura Co. manju have been "ripening" for a while, allowing all of the flavors to develop and marry. If you had any of your homemade manju left, how were they the next day?)
@Strattiffy

Jun, you are too hard on yourself! Any chef would have to make a recipe many times before they perfect it. I agree with the jam comment, but be careful adding raw pineapple to a jelly as the enzymes may make it watery (blanch it first).

I think with practice you could have made it just as pretty as the professional one, but it still looked super tasty and paw print was adorable! Also I agree that the chunks of fruit add a nice bit of texture when eating. I want to try making milk bread. The recipe I saw steamed it instead of baking it. Since Jun steamed the manju it made me wonder it steaming might make for a more spongey texture?

they look so tasty! and pretty too! the cats watching so attentively was adorable! id probably suggest cooking the pineapple with some sugar/syrup into a thick paste to give more flavour and be more homogenous. the mochi filling might need a bit of milk or gelatin and the outside can probably add a bit of the pineapple paste/juice into the dough, not only will give colour and flavour but probably a more moister texture.
