Japan's Prosecution Office is under increasing public scrutiny following a series of alleged scandals. The scandal series have triggered concerns about transparency, or rather lack thereof, in the enforcement of regulations. While details of the misconduct have not been fully disclosed, the persistence of incidents has raised suspicions and resulted in closed-door press conferences, exacerbating frustrations for the public seeking clarity on the issue.

In Japan, the Prosecution Office holds a crucial role within the legal system. Any allegations of misconduct or scandals within this institution are perceived as serious threats to the country's legal integrity and societal justice. In particular, the closed-door meetings are seen as a violation of people's right to know, adding to the social unrest.

In contrast to Japan, countries like the US or EU often conduct public hearings in response to major institutional scandals. Measures are taken to ensure transparency, enabling public accountability. This difference spotlights the cultural and systemic discrepancies between the west and Japan, in terms of how these regions respond to similar situations.
