We knew Japan had a sex problem. We just didn't know how bad it was until now
Japan's demographic challenges are well-known: It's home to the world's oldest population and has a shrinking birthrate and an astonishing number of single people.

I think there might be a hint here. It seems pretty clear that for every generation that comes along, the women are even less tolerant of putting up with men's shit (#notallmen etc).
Also what AspenLovesYou says. That's quite a difficult cultural imposition.
In the book "Modern Romance" there was a problem described in their culture where the men were raised to be quiet and respectfully shy, and women the same. The men were too respectfully quiet to make a "move" or ask a woman on a date. The women, if they asked a man out, were seen as acting inappropriate and therefore not worthy of being dated or married.
