    There are a lot of this kind of troubles appearing in Japan these days, such as Big Motor incidents and Johnny’s child abuse scandals. I suspect that these companies have some kinds of collusion between the Japanese government and its related organizations, and the rapport is gradually collapsing (since former president Abe was killed).

      I don’t think it’s collusion as much as not wanting to be the bearer of bad news, which snowballs into a cascade of lies.
