It’s going to start a movement where businesses don’t allow streamers into their businesses. These pricks need to be made examples of.
In general, you arent supposed to record in businesses in japan without permission.
Its just that in japan, getting permission is usually considered a hassle for streamers who are constantly uploading content or in japan for a limited amount of time and did not ask in advance, so people follow the record but if you get in trouble, apologize profusely method.
The difference between Japanese streamers and foreign streamers in Japan is like night and day. When I watch local streamers, they almost always take the time to blur out faces and anything that might even present anything identifiable. It seems almost excessive at times, but there’s a very real sense of societal awareness and social obligation not to be a dick. Even the evening news over here blurs out the faces of random passersby when they film on location. Then when I watch foreigners who stream over here, it’s rude, in-your-face, talking about you right in front of you (with no regards as to whether or not they speak English). I expect the Japanese people who you see on these shitbag streamers’ channels assume that they’ll be treated with the same respect and decency that local streamers would use, rather than be immortalized on Youtube without their permission. It really sucks.
It’s not about the permission or apologies. It’s about being a decent human being. These asshats who spend the time adding text and graphics to their videos could also blur faces and hide identities, but they don’t. Fuck them.
If someone started filming me at my job I would give them their check, tell them to leave and have the police deal with them if they refuse.
I’m glad to see Japan won’t put up with this type of shit. These type of “influencers” are criminal attention whores who should be shunned by modern society.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Fucking pricks.
First Logan Paul, now these wankers. 🤬🤬🤬
Snuff it out from the source, go after YouTube for promoting this behavior
Here’s a take on this from one of the largest English language youtubers in Japan.

That’s just a theory, a stealing food theory. /s
Their train stations are built on the honor system, you don’t even go through a turnstyle in most places.
We must strengthen border security, apply the law equally, and engage in diplomatic efforts to address the issue
Because people rode a train without a ticket? Lol grow up.
