Most pro sports pay bonuses based on specific results per game or over the course of a season or for receiving specific awards.

Beyond bonuses (because I'm sure you're going to say that's not the same thing) it's less that they get paid for weekly results, and more that their weekly results ensure they stay hired and therefore paid. So their weekly results matter.

>Prosecutors say Takahashi acted in ways to favor the companies with sponsorships and other benefits related to the Olympics in return for the bribes.

That's the only info provided in the article, not a whole lot to gleam there other than he was acting suspicious and was on the radar of authorities (or got snitched on, who knows).

>thanks in part to being so heavily used in 60's-70's era movies and TV shows

This is exactly it. Filmmakers love to put stuff in that they know, or enjoy, that they feel is evocative of the era but that doesn't mean it was popular.

Plus, using licensed music costs money so sometimes you have to go with something other than a top 40 hit for that time. All the moreso these days with the nightmare of music licensing regarding the Internet, streaming, etc.
