I agree. I didn't say it's special, only different. Can you say adult adoption is something common in the US?

I have always found the adoption loophole to maintaining a family business hilariously smart.

I also understand why it’s not something common outside of Japan. Selling your family name in exchange for (maybe) keeping your business alive is distasteful at best.
