Nuisance influencers haunting Japan

My question is: Why Japan? I don't know that much, but I'm sure Japan has big problems to worry about, like the Chinese crossing into their airspace and and waters, so why are idiots threatening to kill Japanese people with nuclear weapons, when this world is so messed up already? And Influencers are another thing, I'm sure young people watch them, and it would be terrible if we had a whole generation thinking doing what they did was okay.

Idiots have an impression that Japan is a tolerant place where they can get away with anything because Japanese people generally mind their business and aren't quick to engage with bad behavior.

Obviously, Johnny Somali was talking about nuclear weapons because he was in Japan and it's the most inflammatory thing he could think of, because he's an idiot. He was also taking money from chatters to say and do things, which quickly becomes a contest to see who can come up with the most aggravating behavior in the hopes of instigating a confrontation.
 
Some military members were unbelievable in how they acted in Fukuoka when I was there. Some had outright hated for having to be stationed in Japan. I get the feeling their parents had fought the Japanese in WWII and that hatred and disrespect came from that. There were a ton of places that had signs saying no "gaijins" allowed. There were a few times where when questioned , I claimed to be a Russian to avoid the embarrassment of being linked to bad behavior by American servicemen. I could write a book on terrible things I saw.

I'm not sure when you were there, Frank, but those personnel should have been thanking their lucky stars that they weren't in vietnam, on in the south china sea. Or even korea, more of a hardship tour than some realize.

And I wonder how the korean war--and later vietnam--would have turned out if japan had not been the crucial logistics platform that it was--an essential staging ground for those wars.

Some thanks would have been nice.
 
The fat cheeto should be at the top of that list. ;)
In a lot of ways, he's set the gold standard in that his appeal to his followers is tied to the fact that he is so triggering to people they don't like. But he clearly craves adoration more than mere attention, which sets him apart from the trolls and heels who have embraced their anti-hero personae. I think that his narcissism is so powerful that it creates a reality distortion field. He believes his own hype, and his emphatic self-confidence redefines reality for those in his orbit. It's the recipe for a cult of personality.

I didn't include him because his superpower is stealing the spotlight, and I thought even mentioning him might muddy my point and derail the conversation.
 
The nuisance foreigner who continues increasing.
The foreigner who plays a trick on a dance, high school girls in a train.

"Annoying dance video" … foreigner group is a dance per punishment in Hie-jinja Shrine in the Shinto shrine

Big a video photographed in a Shinto shrine of the venerable Tokyo downtown area; cause controversy.

Over the torii of the Shinto shrine, there was just a destruction by fire uproar just recently.

I drink liquor, and the 18-year-old man of the middle nationality living in Kawaguchi-shi runs the city on last month 29 and I go down the one way in the wrong direction and collide to a car, and the doubt that let the 51-year-old man who got on die is held.

According to a person concerned with investigation, it is considered that the man took out 100 kilos per an hour or more and is that I tell you, "I thought that it is enough as I was absent for around three hours after I drink liquor".

Great line ... examination is easy, and "外免切替" floods in in the license examination room of 5:00 a.m., and does a Chinese use the Chinese of the address "hotel" for pass international qualification?



The line of the driver's license examination room in Tokyo. It is the Chinese that the most are going to acquire a Japanese license.

I reported originally whether there were the traffic accident and connection that continued increasing of Chinese people.

Accidents in Japan by the Chinese increase rapidly these days.

Meanwhile, various accidents are taking place over qualification of Japan.

When past 5:00 a.m., the press pool which I have not gone up yet on a day either visits the Fuchu driver's license examination room in Tokyo, Fuchu-shi, I stand in line very much in spite of an early morning. Most of people lining up are Chinese.

Many Chinese who gather though it has a signboard written as "prohibition in Chinese to line up."

On earth a voice to "be it for 外免切替 from all morning" was asked about what you lined up for by the person who lined up when I heard a story.

外免切替 which a person having a foreign driver's license changes to the driver's license that driving in Japan was admitted legally.

I can change it to a Japanese license by clearing a subject examination, a skill examination.

The subject examination comes to pass in ten answering correctly more than seven questions among 2 択問題 that I is made questions with a computer.

When ask a Chinese ahead of an examination the degree of difficulty, because "have a Chinese driver's license, do not study. I think that it is all right. A rule said, or probably, the kana that was not about the same, a voice was heard.

Actually, how about? When finish an examination, and ask you some other time, "passed it. I pass by "a no study" wonderfully saying I say an examination or am a simple question.

According to the National Police Agency, it is said that the passage rate of the skill examination of 2023 is approximately 30%.

"The numbers are more less than a one-tenth than the writing (the problem) of the license which a Japanese receives (as for the written examination), and car life journalist, Kumiko Kato tells with difficulty しいとかはそんなにない such as the trick question".

In addition to a degree of difficulty to such acquisition, it is said that the background where Chinese rush to the frequent use (はんよう)-related height lies hidden.

Kato in "ten countries as for what can run with a Chinese license. I said, I am to increase in 100 countries at a stretch (as for the Japanese license).

Because Japan joins Geneva Convention, it is said that I can acquire the international license which can run at the member nation close to 100 countries when I acquire a Japanese license.

The exceptional situation that Chinese rush to on a Japanese license.

The address of the license becomes "the hotel name" when I look at the license which I acquired when a Chinese man living in China came to Japan for sightseeing.

It is not mattered whether Japanese 外免切替 performs resident registration in Japan, and the acquisition by "tourist visa" is possible, too.

Therefore the Chinese who visited it by short-term sightseeing can acquire a Japanese license in the address of the hotel by having the hotel where I stayed at give "a temporary homecoming certificate".

"イット!" This collects data on a Chinese resident in Beijing "that acquired a Japanese license in the address of the guest house".

It is said that I was able to acquire a Japanese license by 2 degrees visit to Japan of the sightseeing purpose.

A Chinese resident in Beijing that acquired a Japanese license at the time of sightseeing:
I visited Japan in this May and took a subject examination. I visited Japan in September and took a skill examination afterwards. Accommodations produced a staying certificate to change it to a Japanese license. There were ten subject examinations. I do not change with the subject examination of other countries very much. I can pass it commonly.

It is said that I was able to acquire a Japanese license by showing the staying certificate which accommodations issue.

A Chinese resident in Beijing that acquired a Japanese license at the time of sightseeing:
It is easy to change the merit of the Japanese license to an international driving permit. For example, it is difficult to usually take the license in Germany, but can easily acquire it if I change it from a Japanese license.

The qualification by the Chinese who came by sightseeing of Japan.

However, there is the case that has led to the accident that driving in Japan by the Chinese is pitiful.

The car which goes down the way of the one way in the wrong direction at a violent speed.

It was a man of the nationality out of one of 18 years old that ran and it took on alcohol and was arrested on the spot for the driving.

The Japanese man who got into a car collided with in this accident lost his life.

To the foreigner who does not know Japanese traffic rules well as for Kato "the number of accidents is very just actually increasing by the accident by the foreigner, e.g., a rent-a-car. I say correspondence when I caused an accident, or a manner, such a thing sound an alarm bell by a country as they are different saying there is it whether you are ascertained in the examination that it is easy called 外免切替 properly.

The traffic accidents by the Chinese holding a Japanese license actually increase by 100 units year by year.

Is the review necessary for now when the tourists from the foreign countries increase, the way of the qualification?
 
Johnny Somali, now on a mission in South Korea, hasn't learned a thing:

During his latest visit to South Korea, Somali sparked outrage by filming himself beside a statue resembling a comfort woman and pretending to kiss it. He also engaged in unruly behavior in a convenience store's dining area, dumping instant noodle soup onto the table and tossing leftover noodles at the door. Ignoring a store's no-alcohol policy, Somali continued drinking despite staff warnings. He also disturbed bus passengers by playing North Korean music loudly and shocked subway riders by displaying obscene videos. On October 24th, as his antics in South Korea continued to draw controversy, Somali was attacked on the street during a live stream. The assailant briefly seized his smartphone, threw it aside, and left. A few days later, Somali was again targeted, this time kicked and tackled on camera, leaving him sprawled on the street and kicked multiple times.




 
I would vote for dumping him across the North Korean border and let him play some Squid Games to try to come back.
Except since he's American it would be a pain in the *** for President Harris. She'll have enough to deal with.

Oh ho, look at you with the squid games reference!
 
This makes me irrationally angry. When visiting another country, be respectful. Act like you would in your mother's house - except these miscreants don't look like they've been taught manners at all. In Rome they have this thing where they basically ban you from the city, or areas thereof, for a set period of time, like 48 hrs. Last was two Aussie girls who decided to take a friggin swim in the Trevi Fountain. Perhaps Japan should look into this sort of thing.

Australians who vandalize Japanese graves, which is currently a serious issue in Japan.

Drinking Grave Offerings, Swinging Memorial Tablets: Disruptive Behavior in Cemetery Filmed by Australian Man — Embassy Issues Warning (Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi – Sept. 2, 2025)


A video showing a foreign man vandalizing graves in Japan has sparked outrage on social media, prompting the Australian Embassy in Tokyo to issue an unusual warning to travelers.
The footage, first posted on August 4, shows a man believed to be an Australian national wandering through a cemetery in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture.
While recording himself, the man takes a can of alcoholic beverage left as an offering at a grave, drinks it in one go, and then gestures as if to make a toast with the tombstone.
He can be heard saying:
"If you died in anger, may you be able to take revenge."
In another video, posted on a different day, the same man is seen swinging around a sotoba (a wooden memorial tablet placed at graves to honor the deceased). He also appears to play with a model gun, touch a rabbit ornament believed to be an offering, and otherwise behave in a highly disrespectful manner.
Despite mounting criticism on social media, the man showed no remorse, stating:
"What I did at the cemetery has caused a stir, but I don't care at all. In fact, I really like that video."
Nearby residents expressed shock:
"Unbelievable. Why would anyone do something like this?"
"The offerings are for our ancestors. It's unimaginable behavior."

The videos also show other reckless acts, including the man standing on the railing of a bridge before diving into Lake Kawaguchi — a stunt that could easily have resulted in an accident.
According to attorney Koji Mizokami of Hashimoto Law Office, the man could face charges:
  • Consuming grave offerings may constitute theft, punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to 500,000 yen.
  • Damaging or desecrating a memorial tablet may result in up to 3 years in prison or a fine of up to 300,000 yen.
Police are aware of the videos circulating online and have stated that they will proceed with necessary investigations.

Meanwhile, the Australian Embassy in Tokyo, which issued a statement urging travelers to respect local laws and customs, told FNN:
"Troubles, including this case, have been on the rise. We issued the message as a comprehensive measure to raise awareness and prevent further incidents."

'Australians'? You make it sound as if it's something that Australians make a habit of.

Australian!
Australian!
Australian!

Not 'Australians'.

And 'serious issue' suggests that it's a common problem. It's one person behaving disgustingly. Someone who should be arrested, fined heavily, and given a lifetime ban from entering Japan. I'm as disgusted by this behaviour as you are.

But stop exaggerating and assuming that because one foreigner behaves like that, lots of us do. There's enough of that sh1t already on the mainstream media without it spreading to this site.
 
Wow, I missed this story completely. This was a particularly depraved individual. However, I don't believe Nagashima-san meant to insinuate that all Australians engage in desecration.
It may be a genuine language mistake and I'm over-reacting. But there's been an awful lot of this recently, in Japan and in other countries.

Perhaps Nagashima-san could imagine living in the UK and reading a report about Johnny Kitagawa, then people commenting about the behaviour of 'Japanese people'. If he understands that, then he will understand how foreign people in Japan (and foreign people in other countries) are often made to feel.
 
I'm sorry if my post caused any misunderstanding. My intention was never to criticize Australians as a whole, but only to point out the disrespectful behavior shown in this particular case.
My criticism is directed at this individual's behavior, not Australians as a whole. Disrespecting graves is unacceptable no matter who does it.
If a Japanese person did the same thing in Australia, I would also condemn it. This is about the action, not nationality.
The problem is the act of desecrating a cemetery, which is universally wrong.
In fact, criticizing such behavior helps protect the reputation of the many Australians who live here respectfully.

Thanks for clearing that up, Nagashima-san. I'm sorry that my first post was unnecessarily harsh. As you know, there is a lot of gaijin-bashing worldwide at the moment, and I'm sorry I accused you of doing that.
 
The problem with these goons is that people watch their videos and thus they get ratings and money for them; watching their videos simply encourages further misbehavior. Even a 'thumbs down' is regarded as positive engagement by Youtube et al. (because it means you've watched it and seen the advertising). Thus the best course of action by decent people is to not watch these antics, don't comment, and if you do click on the video by mistake, stop watching as soon as you realise they're disrespectful, definitely don't watch until the end as doing so is classed as a 'successful' posting.

I wonder what happens to these people when the reach middle age or decide they want to start a family and need to pay into a college fund/pension etc. Hang, no, I don't really care…
 
More torii push-ups, this time in Osaka:



A foreign visitor was filmed hanging from a torii gate at a popular scenic spot in Ikeda, Osaka, known as the 'Sky Torii,' where the city can be seen through the frame of the gate. The footage shows a man doing pull-ups on the sacred gate while another person filmed the act on a smartphone.
The incident, regarded as disrespectful and disruptive, was captured on video by Ilya, an Estonian resident traveling in Japan. Ilya, who shot the footage, said: "I felt very uncomfortable seeing such disrespect toward the torii and thought I had to do something. I regret not shouting at them to stop. This is destructive behavior." The two individuals, believed to be foreign tourists, appeared to be deliberately recording the act. The location, formally called Shuho-dai Observatory, has gained popularity online as a photogenic site. According to Ilya, the pair arrived by taxi and immediately began hanging from the gate, apparently intending to post the footage on social media such as Instagram or TikTok. Ilya later took the video to the police station as evidence. "I went to the police and explained the situation while showing them the video. The officers looked very disappointed," he recalled.
