That's not something that is limited to Japan, but why would you prevent corruption when you're part of the problem?

"While the rate of corruption was much lower in many countries, such practices were found even in relatively law-abiding nations like Japan, where many surveyed said they believed the government was doing a poor job of preventing corruption."
That's part of the problem -- when lawmakers commit crimes and then bend the laws to fit them so that they are "technically" not breaking the law, the term "law-abiding" becomes mere lip-service.
