This is a Japanese version of suicide by cop and extreme dissociation. I was stationed with the Navy on Kyushu in the 1990s and used to make monthly trips to Fukuoka which is a great town. It's so sad that this young man saw no other way out. But it is a credit to the Tokyo first responders that no one died. Very excellent episode, and I'm going to talk to your sponsor now. 😁

Japanese cops aren’t shooting people my guy. They rarely even carry firearms. He knew damn well he wasn’t going to get killed by any cop. Nor is this what a dissociative episode looks like. This is what a little immature antisocial asshole looks like.

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

As a Japanology student, next year going to Japan I often find that I have a more positive view about Japan and a rather negative one on my own country. I like that Adrian often covers japan and mentions the usually low crime rates in the country, it's that touch of reality that no country in the world is a totally safe place. It just shows that we as society are failing at keeping everyone on a good path, it is quite negative, but also positive to think that no country is that much better than the other, all nations have flaws and cracks.

[@Mary_Beth_Reimer]

@@sleepymonsteraddict That is very true. All places have problems, because humans have problems. There are differences in how places treat crime, mental health, and sociatal attitudes. I hope you enjoy your trip there! My ex husband's brother lived in Japan for quite a few years, and I think he enjoyed it.

[@possumlodge5368]

It's an interesting thought. I think of how my parents will say things like "this stuff didn't happen so often before." and I'll remind them that the access to and circulation of information wasn't instant like it is now. The world has always been a crazy place and we are paying closer attention than ever.

[@LizzieSAusten]

Congrats for Classified ! Thanks for your hard work, happy Halloween to you and Nero

[@queent3527]

The reason why all the phones in Japan make a loud noise when taking pictures is due to the fact that there were incidents in the past where people were photographed without their consent. And Japanese do not like strangers taking pictures of them without their permission. And also the case of voyeurism was an issue in the past. I was stationed there for three years. It’s a beautiful country.

[@Libellulaire]

Rather than "taking (innocent) picture without consent" it's more due to the huge amount of predatory pictures taken of females, including minors. Even in the West it's not uncommon for men to take pictures of women when they're climbing stairs or while taking public transit, in Japan (in Asia in general) it's even more common. Probably partially due to the fact that both in work and school uniforms skirts are mandatory.

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

I wouldn't say it's fully a problem of the past, but it is safe to say it's not that big of a problem anymore. The shutter sound is indeed something that I wouldn't just link to voyeurism but indeed more to let people know that a picture is being taken. Just like any country in the world Japan has it problems and it always will have, but as someone who studies Japanese, I will never stop looking up to this nation for their level of respect and hospitality.

[@subtitlesonplease]

It’s actually because of sexual harassment and indecent ‘up skirt’ and chest photos being taken and uploaded to sketchy websites and phonographic forums.

[@subtitlesonplease]

@@Libellulaire Thank you. The true meaning should be mentioned but is often muffled by men who don’t want to acknowledge that harassment towards women an minors is an epidemic

[@splatter7698]

I think many people around the world do not want to have pictures taken of them without their consent.

@@andreah4172 you’re so sweet! Ty 🥰

[@DeathMetalDerf]

I'm very glad no one got hurt, and as crazy as this is going to make me sound, it's still the truth. Due to the rather traumatic experiences I have had in my childhood, I understand that level of nihilism. I've never tried to do anything to anyone else. Everything has always been aimed at myself because of the level of self loathing I feel sometimes, but I really do understand what it's like to be where he was. No future. No hope for one. The feeling that no matter what you do or how you do it, literally everything eventually blows up in your face. It doesn't take very long before one starts to feel rather worthless and irredeemable. I just wish more people could be like me, and get over the stigma that comes along with being a man who needs help with his mental health. You absolutely can be a "man" about it AND still feel and properly express your emotions in a safe and healthy way. I just wish more people understood that. Please, if you need help, talk to someone who you know you are able to trust. And while I know this is fairly useless in a KZbin comment, but I'll be there for you if you feel like you can't go to someone you know because you're afraid of being judged or dismissed. I would never do that to anyone who truly needed help.

Happy Halloween Adrian. Just wanted to point out that there is trick and treating here in Tokyo tho mostly for kids. I live near Shibuya and every year the kids in the neighborhood trick and treat for 4 hours on a designated day (usually on. Saturday) the whole event is organized with the participation of residential buildings, houses and businesses around the neighborhood. Each year we get around 700 kids coming around our building. The kids’ route has been mapped out and there are about 40 stops for the kids to show off their costumes and get treats. Houses, businesses and buildings are all decked out with themed decorations of their choice. Last year we did, Stranger Things, this year we chose Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s always a fun, loud and a happy affair. We love it!

[@angelface925]

Sounds safe and fun. Like a huge "trunk or treat". That's when meant people park in a parking lot and hand out treats from the trunk/boot of their cars. It's supervised by other parents and the event workers. Do they go door to door, or just at the 40 stops?

I'm glad to have a case like this once in a while, even though Kyota had intentions to kill and showed no compassion, his execution showed low determination to kill people and it is clear that this crime was more committed out of pain and mental problems rather than out of hate. With a lot of the cases I feel like the people involved should never be released and if they are they'd still be bad people, based off the hate motive a lot of killers have, but with Kyota I feel like the judge words are hopeful and realistic, he could very well get over his mental baggage and try to reintegrate into society. His life won't be easy given the trauma caused in such a big city, but this case seems to be leaning towards an all positive ending, which I like.
