    MAN DO I GOT A CHIKAN STORY YOU GUYS!! I remember when I was taking the evening train back to kumiyama kyoto and I saw that this girl (seemed about 18 years old) was being molested by this salary man, I was shocked as fuck because I look around and though she wasn't making a huge scene she was making a few wimpers but no one was helping her. So I got really pissed and I'm a pretty tall guy and mixed with African so to a pretty short molestor dude I didn't have a problem taking care of the situation. So I came to the side of the little girl and asked if she was ok? (I obviously knew she wasn't but just to kinda calm her down) she told me about the dude behind her and I told her I'd take care of it and I told her to follow me at the next stop. Now the train makes it to the next stop and then I grab the molestor and put his hands behind his back I pick him up and carry him outside the train with the little girl following me behind and when I get off the train an elder couple comes off and wants to follow us as well. So I continue bringing the molestor to the nearest police station everyone in the area was looking at us (Embarrassing as fuck but you know what fuck it I'm doing the right thing) we make it to the police station and I tell the officer that this man was molesting the girl, the little girl agrees and tells the officer the whole story. Afterwards the officer takes the molestor in and the girl thanks me and offers to treat me to crepes I take her up on the offer but I offered to treat her instead cause hell she just got done with pointing out a molestor the old couple thank me as well telling me that what I did was brave and a little rash but brave and they gave me and the girl tayaki (it's like a fish shaped dessert) Honestly I'm glad I helped the girl out but Japan needs to do something about this pretend not to notice attitude.

    I am Japanese, I experienced it a few times of Chikan in my life. (I am not a type of "beautiful lady", and I am a very average woman...) That was when I was 7 yrs (on a street in a rural area), 19 yrs old (subway), 28 (on a street), and 37 (at an animal hospital, done by a male vet assistant). Also, sexual assault things (many times in working places, or Nomi-kai (drinking & eating gathering with a boss co-workers). I didn't wear sexy outfits, since I like tomboy-style fashion. I was wearing jeans or a pant with a t-shirt. In an office, I was wearing pants. When a middle-aged guy touched my hip in the subway, I was very scared. He used his both arms to block my body from both sides holding steel bars that were next to seats, so I was trapped from my back. He pushed his lower part on my hip repeatedly. I tried to escape, but his arm strength was much stronger than mine. I tried to escape many times while I was so panicked and so ashamed of myself at that moment. At the same time, my mind was crying and filled with anger, every negative emotion-filled up my mind. I wanted to kill him if I had a gun, but of course, I didn't have it, and my body reaction was different. Full of fear & shame. I was so scared and couldn't speak any words since my throat was tightened up by fear. Even many people were riding the same train car, nobody noticed.... After 10 min of Chikan act, literally, I did NOT have any energy left to go to a police station to report or to file a document. People say, Why don't you report to the police easily. But I couldn't, since I spent all my energy, and I really didn't want to see nor talk to anybody. I wanted to be alone, totally in a very safe space. And I didn't want to visit any police stations where I see any men. Rather, I got out of a train car, sat on a bench on the corner of a station for a long time watching trembling my fingers. After I went back home with that mental condition, I wrapped my body with a blanket in my bed without doing anything. The next morning, I was relieved mentally a little, so I finally could cry. I am glad that subway companies offer "a train car for women only" during the crowded times since subway companies aware of Chikan acts. So I could go to my workplace or school by using it. In Japan, many women give up reporting sexual assault in train cars, working places, or public spaces. Because the first step, we have to talk to men. Then, policemen or male bosses contact female officers after many questions. It is not about "sexy clothes" or not. Every time, I visit a convenience store such as Seven-Elleven in Japan, I see pornographic magazines exposed to children, women, on bookshelves. It is so hard to walk passing through this kind of magazine saying "Subway Chikan's sweet dreams". Small boys in Japan grew up in this environment.

My friend moved into his path, met his eyes, shook his head "Nope." and the man went back where he was standing and kept looking at my friend with a sad expression like my friend hurt his feelings for stopping him from molesting the young girl!

    i got molested in the train about 30 times in 2 years. i usually exit the train at the next station. The first time i went to the police station. But it was very difficult to report and they even ADVISED me not to report it . Nothing is done against it and victims have difficulties reporting it, its not easy. The police even looks annoyed by the paperwork. So it feels even more like its better not to report. Once i used Mace on one molestor. It was outside the train, he followed me and i exitted the station and he kept following me. He grabbed my hand and tried to pull me to him. I had my pepperspray in my hand ready. I peppersprayed him. He grabbed his face with his both hands and ran . He was hit by a taxi car. I think pepperspray should be encouraged to use in Japan. It should be sold everywhere . The molesting would instantly stop.

    The whole "Japanese value honor" thing is more of a stereotype of Japanese culture westerners put on it. Not everyone in Japan is fixated on any "honor" value system and most aren't. Not standing out and not going against the flow of the group is often more important to them than anything. Doing something about something like molestation while preferable on a moral standpoint isn't prefered when they know it's going to bring attention to themselves. Japan is one of the biggest "bystander" cultures in the world and it shows with things like this. THe entire "honor" being more important than anything more or less died out after WW2 since the whole honor thing was what got them into the situation they were in there to start with. The older generations still hold it true somewhat but the younger generations want nothing to do with it more often than not.

    Hey Nobita, I've been living in Osaka for 2 and a half years, and I really feel like the dark side of Japan is really overwhelming sometimes. Most students who come to my eikaiwa seem to have a lot of darkness and emotional/mental problems. I'm not saying Japan is a bad country, but I really feel like this country needs help because most people aren't even aware of how bad things have gotten, in terms of relationships, sexuality and emotional/mental health. I heard that last year the amount of children in Japan population has dropped to 12.3% of the population, which is the lowest ratio recorded in Japan's history since 1899 when they started recording these numbers. Things are out of control, and the huge drop in marriage, widespread chikan, prostitution, ect seem to me like symptoms of how things have become really corrupted between men and women. Sexuality has been corrupted so much that most people aren't even interested in real relationships anymore. Sex is really complicated because it involves emotions too, it's not just physical. I think Japanese people have a lot of shame, which burdens them a lot, and prevents them with opening up and connecting with others emotionally. And in sex, this means that people use sex as only a physical connection, while shunning out the emotional side. Anyway, this is a really complicated issue, which is hard to articulate in just a KZread comment.

    It's really sad because Japanese women are so beautiful. Females need emotional connection and strong, caring men to bring structure and stability to their lives. But the attractive girls are so heavily objectified, every day of their lives. They're seen as objects for sex, and that's it. The society subconsciously teaches men to chase physical sexual gratification by making porn, sexual magazines and prostitution so easily available. There is no awareness in the society about the consequences of these actions. It's really a shame.

    About 20 years ago I moved to Japan from the UK with my husband who worked for a Japanese company. About 3 months after I arrived, I think I was followed home from the train station ( I didn't spot him at the time) but he ran into my apartment building lift behind me and molested me. I couldn't escape and was very frightened. However, I was taller/ bigger than him and I hit him and kicked him off and he ran away when the lift opened. I hope he got the shock of his life and I hope that it made him think twice about doing it to someone else. It did knock my confidence and I was very nervous travelling on my own for a while. I already felt like I stuck out ( red hair and about 5 foot 8) but I love Japan and meet wonderful people eveytime I visit who are kind and respectful.

    This video is very important. I lived in Japan for 3 years (2015-2017). During that time, I was groped. I was groped on the train. I was groped on my way out of the bathroom at the Odakyu store. I was groped at Summer Sonic (a fucking music festival). I was groped while trying to get in the taxi. Each time this happened, I never spoke up bc I just didn’t know what to do. I felt disgusted and embarrassed that it happened to me. I wish I could have done something back then, but I was just in complete shock. I have only heard about these things happening, but when it actually happened me, it was different. It’s like my body froze, and my mind went blank. All of a sudden, I forgot how to react. It was absolutely terrible and thinking about what has happened to me makes me feel sick... I know not all Japanese men are like this but I have had way too many shitty encounters with Japanese men. I’m glad that you are bringing awareness about this issue through your videos. What you are doing is very important!

    Very late to this chat but I had the same experience 15 years ago when I lived in Osaka. All my female colleagues had similar experiences. The common theme was it seemed to happen when we were on our own rather than in pairs or groups. I felt probably overly safe and possibly didn't take the same precautions I would anywhere else, including my own country. One of my Japanese male friends told me that the working life in Japan is intense (which it is) and that he thought some of this behaviour related to that, not the whole reason, but part of the issue. I would still encourage foreign women to work in Japan and just take the view that it's like any other country in terms of personal safety. Definitely make an effort to learn Japanese and make Japanese friends, it's both enriching and a valuable support system. I really love Japan, Japanese people and culture. I made wonderful friends there and in particular my Japanese friends were extremely kind and supportive.

    I always believed that there's a limit to how considerate you can be to another person, even if it's in Japan. I'm shocked to see that Japanese women actually put partial blame on themselves for being molested. Wearing whatever clothes you like is really just a form of self expression. Who doesn't want to look good in front of others? As long as the perpetrator has the intention to do such a thing, it wouldn't have mattered whether you are wearing short skirt, long skirt or pants. The idea of provocation is completely irrelevant here if the lustful intent is there from the start.

    the way a woman dressed was used as a defense by many American defense lawyers for many years, putting the blame for molestation or rape on the woman victims. So it's not so much a Japanese mindset, rather it's a gender based excuse males of all cultures used to avoid the responsibility of committing sexual crimes against women. Back in the 1990s there was a rape case where an Italian court declared women who wore tight jeans are inviting sexual assault, that misjudgement sparked the annual event of the Denim Day

I agree on the part about women should not be touched without her permission but if you look from biology perspective, if a gender makes itself looks appealing or attractive it's inevitable that the other gender will be forced to give attention and get attracted to it. Don't expect every man to be a saint who has achieved higher self conscious tho i wish it is true but it's not so it's better to equip yourself with the awareness of how social structure works and find solutions to increase the gender awareness among people.

    I don't disagree with you. But it's just that our cultures are very different. Not a single person here would ever admit to molestation as being even a fraction of their fault. We have almost a victimhood mentality, whereas if you say ANYTHING about the victim, you're "victim blaming". A taboo subject where things that should be said aren't.

    Them taking part of the blame didn't surprise me all that much, especially the 10% seemed reasonable, but I was surprised by the reason. They named skimpy clothes, but personally I think they are partly to blame, because they are basically allowing the groper to continue by not raising their voices as soon as it happens. For example, the girl who turned around and looked him in the eye in order to tell him to stop seemed very brave to me. That's how it should be, and if that does not help, then actually raise your voice and shame the offender publicly by doing so, like "Keep your hands to yourself, pervert!". But I admit, it takes courage to act up in public, I'd likely also just wait for the next stop before doing the second option. But if everyone would make a bigger fuss about this, then gropers would actually have something to fear. Currently, even this video, could be read as an advertisement: "In Japan you can grope beautiful girls without fearing repercussions."

    The Japanese have a very strict tradition of not making a fuss about anything. Groping a girl on the train is rude, but shrieking and making a scene, immediately drawing the mortifying attention of everyone in the car is almost worse. Embarrassment -- shame -- is the worst of all possible states. Samurai (of both genders) used to kill themselves over it. It may well be easier to tolerate the violation than to call attention to it -- as is the case with many such offenses.

In fact, if you watch one of those "true crime" shows where they interview the family members of a murder victim, you'll often see smiles and chuckles even when they're talking about the killer.

    xgrabmyy Problem is those aren’t exactly similar examples when it comes to this situation. They aren’t walking out into, “groups of men”, they are walking out into very public areas where this by all rights shouldn’t be allowed to take place regardless. You never hear about women working scantily clad in establishments like hooters getting molested do you? No, because these are very public areas with loads of witnesses and the molester would be stupid to try it. That is exactly true of this situation as well. These women aren’t wandering around in bad neighborhoods or dark alleys. The real, “reason” here, is that their inability to speak up while such a thing is happening, is enabling more molesters to keep on molesting other people in broad daylight. There is no excuse for this shit, the only mistake these women made was not speaking up during the act, and while the would be molesters were practically surrounded by a potential lynch mob. This is simply a cultural problem that could easily enough be solved by the victims being wise enough to cause a scene when something like this happens, and letting anybody stupid enough to grope someone publicly on a train get a taste of mob justice first hand.

    Wow. I just realized that I've been riding the train for 10 years in Chicago and never got groped here. My friend did get her butt touched in NY's subway like 2-3 times as a teenager. The message that it is the women's fault that Japanese women get when sexual harassments happens is also coming from cops. I remember a blogger felt unsafe and went to the cops. She was wearing a skirt, and they say it is because she is wearing a skirt that she was being harassed ...the girl said that they didn't do anything about it.

    Aievuog Yra That's not a very good comparison . . Criminals aren't just going around shooting random people for fun, but molesters are going around groping targets they like the most. I'd also argue getting groped and getting shot are on two different levels entirely. I'd much rather have a creepy person grab my butt on the train than get shot, but maybe that's just me. As an aside, The study over groping on the trains revealed that in fact the more demure and reserved women get groped much more than the provocatively dressed women in Japan, mostly because provocative dressing signals confidence and makes them more wary, while a lot of highschoolers get groped especially around University Entrance Exam time because gropers think they can get away with it much easier (having to apprehend the person and sign a report takes a lot of time, and will make them late to their exams). Overall if any blame is to be assigned to the victim, I'd say it resides solely in unwillingness to report the person. "It's inconvenient" and "I was too shocked", while understandable, lets the groper continue groping and getting more bold. This is Japan we're talking about, calling then out loudly on the train *will* get attention, *will* get them arrested. People will ignore it because it's not their business and that's a failing of the culture, but when it becomes their business they will help. Living in Tokyo I've never seen it happen, and I take a pretty crowded train to work and back home, but maybe I need to take a few of the other lines if I'm going to see it.

    Storey time: Once I was in a bus, when I was still a young adult. I saw a man touching a woman's ass, clearly on purpose, he was taking advantage of the bumps in the road. I went to him , pushed him further away while maintaining eye contact with him to make him understand that we could fight, but we could also resolve that by just keeping his hands in his pockets. I didn't want to make a fuss and embarrass the woman, plus despite my stature (I'm quite tall and at the time I was a lot into sport), I'm quite shy and didn't want the attention. The bus stopped, the woman turned back, looked at me angrily, slapped me and got out of the bus. FFS She thought I was the one touching her. PS: The uni student with braces looked adorable, I had to say it, sorry.

    I actually think those braces were attractive. I don't know, I just have a thing for the girls who have braces. Also, it means they're willing to go through a lot of shit to take care of themselves and put them in a better light of how people perceive them. Have you ever worn braces? do you know how much time and work is involved in care of them? maintenance of them? Do you know how painful they can actually be? Think of it as a bad tooth ache, but every single tooth in your mouth, and a lot more severe. So I actually respect and admire someone willing to go through all that, for the sake of appearance and their health.

It doesn't matter how short the skirt is or sth like that, if you grope - you're to blame.

    From an ethical standpoint I entirely agree with you. But unfortunately the world doesn't work like we want it to. In the real world it oftentimes is up to each and one of us to take personal responsibility for our own safety, and to fend off people that might wish to do us harm. When it comes to keeping our houses save from burglars this is common practice. We lock our houses at night, and most people do during the day when they're not at home. There are many other examples of the same, but I think you get my point. That's not of course to put blame on anyone that has anything bad happen to them on behalf of another human being. Ideally no one would get physically violated, stealen from or beaten. But in the real world that we all inhabit, unfortunately it is the case that people that wish to steal from us, or molest us on trains like had happened (which is horrible) to several of the women in this video exist. We have to be realistic about the dangers that do exist in our society, and take personal responsibility that if something were to happen we would have able to make it stop. (while of course pushing for societal changes that will hopefully make this kind of thing happen less frequently). Of course I don't mean to say we should live our public lives in fear. And I personally don't take any precations myself. But by the end of the day if we want something bad not to happen to us, in the moment the only people we can rely on to make it stop is ourselves.

    Poofy Poof Leaving your house unlocked means someone can just step in and take your shit. Wearing a slight shorter skirt would still mean your "house" is "locked". Unless the woman is fully pantless she is a "locked house" and blame shouldn't be put onto her. The reason it's wrong to put blame on her is that someone will molest no matter what you're wearing, people in burkas still get molested. It's about power and domination not "Mmm they have a short skirt on better molest them and only them". It's something no woman can prevent no matter how hard she tries.

    I feel like the interviewees interpreted what Nobita asked as "fault + responsibility" instead of merely "fault". They take 10 or 30% responsibility for not protecting themselves and I commend them for that. We should all take responsibility for ourselves. If I park my Mercedes AMG in a neighbourhood that is known for their high rates of car theft, then parking it there would be HIGHLY irresponsible of me and thus should not surprise me that once I get back, my car will be gone. Another example is, if you drive or are a passenger in a car and you don't wear a seatbelt, a drunk driver could hit your car because they swerved into you, seriously injuring you. This is not your fault, but it is for damn sure YOUR responsibility.

    People should report more often, having a flow of things that happen could finally get their attention and do something about it.

    The real problem is a society severely lacking in strong, good men. Women don't know any better.

    Sad and shocking that those who got molested said they never reported it and didnt want to make a bother. That one woman who said she never told her parents cause she didnt want to worry them, very sad.

    I’m so sad to tell you that we have that in common. I just cameback from a 6 week trip to asia and my first two weeks i spent it in Japan. The first day i went out i was feeling so happy so I chose quite a good outfit. A tight skirt and a crop top. (I hate having to explain what i was wearing, that doesn’t justify people’s actions) keep in mind I’m 16 and he looked at least 10 years older than me. I was in a fully packed train in Tokyo, i was with both my parents. You know when the doors open and people press against eachother even more? I really couldn’t see if more people were ACTUALLY coming in or not because he was so tall, and pushing me so much that i was stumbling. He just kept putting his knee and full body against me. Even though my mom was continously separating me from him, he just kept chasing me. It makes you feel so vulnerable and sad...
