1. It’s pretty much settled that I won’t let my kids grow up and work here. By the time they’ll enter junior high I’m out.

2. Note the source is “Catholic Asian News”.

   They call it a “huge scandal” because they judge it on their morality scale. Japanese people don’t feel the same outrage for prostitution, extramarital affairs, mistresses, or sex in general. At the company-expense-accounts-Ginza-cabaret-evenings level it’s a ubiquitous, and, for the most part, unforced money-for-sex transaction.

   Japan society – or at least the media – has one weird and deeply unfair exception though: female Talent, which for some reason must be seen to be impeccably virtuous.

3. OP only posts articles from this christian news site, likely works for them.
