On February 26, a video showing intoxicated Japanese women sleeping on the streets late at night was posted on X (formerly Twitter). It quickly went viral, gaining over 60 million views in just five days. Also, some YouTube channels with similar content have been viewed more than a million times, sparking criticism online. The footage shows women sleeping in various public locations, such as in front of shuttered buildings, in the corners of parking lots, and on staircases of pedestrian bridges. Some women, wearing kimonos or skirts, were lying down in vulnerable positions, with parts of their bodies exposed.
While some international viewers reacted by commenting, "Japan is such a safe country," others expressed concern. One user pointed out, "Japan may have women-only train cars and mandatory camera shutter sounds on phones, but that doesn’t mean there’s no risk of assault."
Viewer Comments:
Japan may be a safe country, but this still seems pretty risky.
There’s not only a risk of assault but also a chance their belongings could be stolen.
Since their faces are hidden, maybe they’re just hired actors?
