These schoolgirls are trying to make it as pop stars, performing in front of audiences who are older and very male. But is it a quirk of Japanese culture or something more sinister?
Reporter Marcel Theroux and Director Liam Nolan meet 11-year-old Yune as she broadcasts live from her home to her fans and performs with other idols at live shows. They also meet some of her fans, many of whom are middle-aged men.
A warning - this report, filmed before coronavirus deals with adult themes.
we just skipping over the fact that possession of child pornography wasn't illegal until 2014?? WHAT
I KNOW, that was just crazy. Meaning possession (or buying and selling? not sure) of child pornography was LEGAL untill 6 years ago. OMG
Typical Japan lol. Everything is nice on the surface.
Not just Japan, but the whole of Asia is porn obsessed. South Korea, China, Taiwan too. I live in Asia, it makes me so angry to be here. They are exposed to extreme things from a young age.
Lol I remember when they passed that law
and you think your country is different?
If they stop supporting her when she turns 20 just know what they are.
Wouldn't 18 make more sense since you know 18 is what most people would consider an adult?
@@mememaybe4923 Legally speaking, anyone under the age of 20 in japan would be considered a minor. Though with a new amendment this law may change.
@@tatiannachandler4196 however you know Japan age of conscent is 13 right. Some area lile tokyo its 18. So in a way its really fucked up
@DoGyMusic um ok.
20? Try 15 or 16...
“all i can do is protect her” so don’t let men bring CUFFS to a fucking meet and greet, don’t let her wear booty shorts at 11 in front of an audience of men with HIGH TECH CAMERAS. idol culture is very strong in asian countries, but even the most popular artists don’t have nearly every fan bringing $1000 cameras. they have intentions that you’re intentionally choosing to ignore so you can make the most profit off of this IMPRESSIONABLE LITTLE GIRL.
The cuffs weren’t brought by fans.
@@firdausross6194 they prolly meant east asian countries.
Those were part of the act! Yes, its unusual for many but its normal in japan.
$1000 is really cheap for a camera
Booty shorts? Come on
the mother knows exactly why those men watch her.
Her biggest fan says she’s beautiful, never said talented
@Suzu what website is it?
@Suzu wait she has a website? are there a lot of comments sounding pedo?
Pretty sickening. She’s just a child.
It’s the same thing with almost every adult celebrity. Lmao. And he’s right she is beautiful. As long as he never acts on it, what’s wrong with admiring beauty? We ALL do it. Not saying it’s ok to be a pervert so don’t even go there.
He said she has "raw talent" and a "great sense of humour" also.. did we watch the same doc?
“Most of the audience of middle aged men” Red flags straight away, holy shit.
As is the audience of basically all Japanese female idols, regardless of age of the performers or concept. Especially in the underground. That includes 30+ year old idols and screamo idols.
So it actually doesn't tell you anything.
@@redfish337 Yes it does, it tells that the audience is made up of potential predators. Else there would be female and same-aged fans there too. Also look at that revealing outfit.
@@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 There are almost certainly predators.
That's nothing new for anyone in the limelight.
It's still a fallacy though.
The people who ATTEND underground idols festivals are predominantly men. As a general genre. There are lots of reasons for that, including the fact that any girls who like idols... can, without any experience, just go join a group. It can be 20-35 year old idols with stage diving and middle fingers and heavy metal, or cutesy stuff- doesn't matter, audience is men. The only underground idol groups that seem to pull a female audience are ones that form based around youtubers or models... or I suppose those that dress as men.
So that's why you shouldn't be quick to judge. But I looked up this particular show. It was a 9 hour festival with 11 different groups on the ticket, including a 2 hour singing highlight of 21 of them doing solo songs. This is the problem with judging the audience- most people in the audience are not there to see just her... they might not even know her at all.
However, this show was actually angled toward younger idols, so this stands out as the only one of these hit job pieces that actually picks a good show to show their point.
Nevertheless, the main event, right after this girl, was a 17 year old which is young but is no different than Western or Korean standards for pop stars.
@@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 woah woah woah- so females can't be predators? U disgusting.
@@gitagogoipegu1402 Why would you say that? And insult someone you don't know? Of course females also have the potential for that. But females wouldn't prey on a fellow sister. The video shows a girl... not a boy. Are you kidding me.
I was a journalist in Japan in 1981/2 and the male fixation with under-age girls was fully developed at that time. Billboards and advertisements in the metro for practically anything were accompanied by photos of pretty pre-teenagers in mini-skirts. My Japanese interpreter was lamenting that she was 'too old' to attract a Japanese male ... she was 31. R (Australia)
The interpreter was right. At that age.. she should have been a mom already.. Taking care of a family.
@@flz7056 That's what he was saying. She is too old!
@@anon2034too old? yall seriously need to stop using tiktok lmao
@@valcrist7428In all your comments of this video you're being a total creep
@@natalia.a020 Wow.. You're the one JUDGING middle aged people. Just because they are middle aged. When statistics shows that most creeps are younger men.. and EVEN WOMEN are worst according to statistics. Get your facts straights. You're the one who is a JUDGE MENTAL CREEP.
Here's my advice for you .. GET A LIFE!!!
It is the same as beauty shows in America where 10-year-old girls dress up and get judged by 50-year-old men.
Both are extremely creepy and damaging to the kids, ESPECIALLY Beauty Pageants, and need to be stopped. Your point??
@@Sarawarawara-I think their point was that this is something that's is happening in the world and things like young idols and beauty pageants should be put at a stop
@@Sarawarawara- they are only bringing in similarities.. why are u so defensive all the sudden. Weird
@@Sarawarawara- I think you misunderstand, they were bringing up another situation where this stuff happens in order to call attention to it, not defend it.
"Can you handcuff me?"
yup they came for her "musical talent"
Oh sure they did
No, its because ha skillz aru Kurezy hai!
Its like bdsm right?
Creeps.. especially the manager!
why man ,that would make a good photo really
That moment when a foreign reporter looks more concerned about Yune's safety than her own mom....
Old saying: "If you are lucky, you will find a wife that loves her children."
This mother is a narcissistic and a child pimp... Despiceble!
Yet sex crime is rampant in the foreign reporters country and very low in Japan
@@haikat4 that's because people outside of japan report such cases.

@@Furendz that's such bullshit lmao
@@Furendz the USA and UK don't have high sex crimes because of 'reporting culture', it's because the USA and UK are dangerous countries full of rapists
Her wearing a miniskirt shows exactly what kind of audience she’s going for. Her Mom should know better.
Funny, coming from a shameless westerner
@@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighterare you one of that little girls “fans”? This person is right, AS AN ASIAN living in japan, this shits weird as hell

The mother is basically pimping her daughter out. This is horrible.
Im sorry but that scene where the guy requested a pic handcuffed to the child is just creepy asf. Her clothes dont even suit her age, they probably see her as a "loli" at some sort, its creepy..
Yeah Ikr.
The handcuffs are evil EVIL.
Thats what im saying bro wtf
What the heck....
whats a loli?
The manager and her mother KNOW, the "fans" know, he KNOWS, EVERYONE KNOWS what thiss is all about the only person who doesn't know is Yune...
That's sad but true
yep...
So true.
Katrina M ok you are overthinking it LOL, there is much more disturbing material here than a very minor accidental dick joke
@@SalamanderMagic Well, those are the *expected* things that they are ogling over.

they sell that in convenience stores bra???😭😭😭
@@universatechus Yes!! theres pornography sections
@@k1iic_bruhh
i never even thought they might be imagining these girls as their own daughters, i really hope that’s true and not just a common excuse. yune deserves to go far and safely
With how crazy low the birth rate is due to the work culture and other contributing factors I'd actually believe this. An incredibly depressing parasocial relationship.
Apparently.. these middle aged average looking men did not do any harm to her. They are just fond of her.
It only proves that the middle aged men around her are not bad people. Just because they are middle aged and average, have no wives or gf.. and men, it doesn't mean they are bad people.
People are too judge mental. Every people have desires... old or young. If there are victims of this video.. it's the old middle aged averga looking men.. getting judged by the public. These middle aged men are a victims of the sexual market deregulation. They are not molesters.
Not a single middle aged man who's watching her did bad to her. All they do is supported her.
The only thing is that the host judging all the middle aged man who's supporting the girl. Just because they are Middle aged and because they are MEN.
Tbh I feel this is an excuse. I think these industry cater to the lolita school fantasy, it's not a wholesome feeling. Maybe for some of them, but a lot of them are just creeps. In anime they sexualize young girls a lot too. There's definitely a sinister fixation with school girls and infantilization in Japan
@@valcrist7428these men are creeps and predators. This isn't normal or sane as an adult to obsess with children or anyone else for that matter.
The interviewer is so uncomfortable, disgusted, and concerned. He looks even more helpless because he really can’t do anything about it.
When Koji said some ppl may think he's creepy, the reporters face screams " Duh! You're creepy af dude! "
As I was watching child twerking competitions in America... Or "Cuties".
@@karinefonte516 That's very disturbing too
And how could that man say it's too imagine the idols as their daughters...????
Same here
cant she perform at school instead? let her promote herself to her peers too instead of to just adults.
I went to an event here in the United States.
A bunch of groups from Japan performed- this was the headliner: ua-cam.com/video/ZlpQZ2Ln-Xs/v-deo.html
I think they're fairly reasonable- something like $10-15 for a polaroid. Most of these indie style groups in Japan are $15-20, with borderline famous groups usually only offering when they are selling singles, pricing them at $20-30 for a polaroid.
Anyway, there is apparently a studio where some people in the US who are into idols made a few groups just like Japanese idols and a group and a soloist or two performed at the same festival. Because it was a big show, they invited a lot of their friends. They were selling polaroids for $5 each. Even at that price point, their school friends BOUGHT &%$^ING NOTHING. I bought one to support what they're doing... not quite pity, more like, good job, and I want you to know it even though no one is buying anything. To be clear, this was high school or college age and still too poor to buy anything to support their friends.
This is just reality. If you're indie and want to actually be solvent, you need fans who will buy your stuff. If you're a huge ass company like Disney then you can promote to kids. But at Yune's level she would pretty much need 100 kid fans to equal 1 "uncle" fan, and when you're not running a huge profit margin, you can't promote that stupidly. If she ever joins a famous group the young fans will come naturally.
Girls want to be famous, their parents want money
School kids don't have the disposal income that I'm guessing single middle aged men do.
She does
Because that's not how her mother is using her. Sad, she is such a talented and pretty little girl
I just love every shot that the reporter's face is in. The mix of bewilderment, confusion, distain, and disgust.
i am more disgusted by white "people"
@@quindariousgooch88the fog is coming
Fast forward 2023, she's successful now. And no one molested her. So YOU ARE WRONG!!! Judgemental FK!!
Not a single middle aged man who's watching her did bad to her. All they do is supported her.
All the host did was judging all the middle aged man who's supporting the girl. Just because they are Middle aged and because they are MEN.
At any age we can never escape perverts. I think it’s a mixed bag of lonely people finding happiness and creeps. It really comes down to her mother and the manager protecting her adequately
Yeah, I do think some of the guys are just happy to have a positive, happy person in their life they can care about. So many people still have the need to be a parent, but can't in a society like in Japan. Like in so many other areas of Japanese society, it's packaged up and commercialised. And yes, unfortunately, there are creeps who find erotic desire in this packaging of an 11 year old girl.
so the japanese teen idol industry is wrong, but western Desmond the Trans Kid is okay? Idols are at least singing artists, Desmond the Trans Kid is just a child prostitute, make a video about that
Yeah, I agree. I also like to watch babies and children but not because of any inappropriate thoughts or desires. For me babies are just cute.
@@bigbrowntauTBF, we're entering such a time in Europe and the US as well.
Honestly yeah i agree
This mother is basically selling her daughter every night she performs. This is disturbing at every level.
I know right, and I think the same. It's uncomfortable that her mother is so okay with all of this
@@Anya-js3ni its brings money to her and money blinds all ideas of child trafficking as long as they get paid it will continue
@@lagunabae7479 true dat
It's sick
Sounds like her mother is the Japanese Kris Jenner 💯
She is a child so she should be singing for others children... It's weird there are only old men... It's creepy..
Ehh.. In terms of music or singing, I don't think she needs to be singing for other children. I mean I'm young and I listen to 30's - 60's music (somewhere around those years).
It's not the age group she is singing too that concerns me but the way they are dressing her for her shows. If she was dressing in cute but full clothing with no hints of sexuality would be the right way to go. Most singers start of young and work their way up.
@@enzogeee yeah, but the point is that all her fans are old men, there are no women or kids among her fans, and that is creepy, those men are not there for her singing and it's obvious.
@@nessyness5447 That they're older men tells you nothing. That's typical for female idol shows at the indie level pretty much regardless of concept.
It would be good for her to start doing more events with more groups that don't allow filming, even if she personally still does.
@@redfish337 dude, it does, the fact that all the fans if a female child artist or a young teen are old men says a lot about them, they are not there for her music.
And the fact that it's typical doesn't really change that fact.
INTENSELY DISTURBING, you can see the pain in her mom's eyes as she realizes what he's implying and she knows she knows but still allows this bc they make money out of it, maybe it snowballed at first but now she's activel enabling it protect Une at all costs sHE HAS A LOVELY VOICE AND DESERVES FANS HER OWN AGE O_________O

@@valcrist7428 You clearly have no common sense or ability for critical thinking. No normal middle-aged man wants to spend hundreds apon thousands of dollars, to watch little girls person in scrappy and small reveling outfits. Only creeps do that but I guess that's why you are defending them. To distract and create a different narrative to make others feel bad for the pdfile. Truly disgusting.
Also, did you notice the 32-year-old man who never misses one of the minor's performances kept saying they aren't like "normal men". Yeah, he outed himself.

A child isn’t sexy or sexual in any manner. Go see a therapist, love.
Boo
Her stage outfit is what a 21 year-old wears out, she shouldn't be in it. Shorts with a translucent blouse.. whoever styled her needs to be taken away from her.
Right? They could've at least made her a long cutesy dress with ruffles instead of THAT
bonbonboinkies ikr or like a dress like that says minty and have a teddy or whistle with her
Exactly, with this outfit, make-up etc, she looks a few years older, which is even creepier.
@@geegeebelle4149 a cute white dress to imply purity, something those old men have to be reminded about lmao
Im the same age as her, you can't blame her for the way she dresses. Thats the same as saying women are asking for it if they wear something revealing, which is sexist and wrong. Not to mention this is a child your talking about, not someone who has the mental capacity (even more so in japan where children age mentally alot less than in western and European countrys) to comprehend that people only want to see her to have sexual fantasies about her. Its normal to wear revealing clothes in japan as a girl, because men generally are a lot more respectful towards women. Its normal. Especially if she wants to become and idol, the idols that she looks up too are around 16-25 so they would be wearing stuff like that. She obviously wants to be like them so she keeps up whith the trends. Trust me ive been to concerts like this in Japan, i live there and even if the idol is wearing clothes to 'match' his/her age the fans are still the same- in Japan youthful appearances are glorified and i wouldn't be surprised if some of the men there were attracted to her, but you can blame a 12 year old (almost thirteen) for wanting to be a popstar. (Obviously if she was forced to wear that i see your point)
This was hard to watch. But definitely harder to be filming this. Kudos to the team as well as those who agreed to be interviewed.
It's a creepy sexual fantasy for these men. In a way, they hope to win the girls' favor over time, and become their father figure and lover. They're willing to go to singing events and photo sessions. In my opinion, it's their weird way of dating these girls. Some men lose interest, some men jump ship to another girl, some put in alot of time and money on one girl.
Agreed. It is a very unhealthy and uncomfortable mix of daughter/lover fantasy. Plus, they usually move on once she reaches puberty.
Yes, it is a phenomenon called projection...
To Yune's mom; If they were fans because she has a beautiful voice, she would have female fans as well. Her fans are middle aged men.
I mean she does have a good voice it is weird that the majority of her fans are men considering music industry there seems like it's geared towards women
I don't even think she has a good voice. She is a Lolita
It’s a different culture women in Japan have zero interest on girl bands not all but most women
@@mohamedahmedyassinhussein6856 That's true. I've been following Japanese music for more than 17 years now and that's how it works on a broad scale: women like male singers/boy bands, sometimes solo female singers (only the most famous ones), while males like girl bands (famous or idols), rock bands and sometimes solo female singers.
@PuraguCryostato I don't listen to singers to I thought it was pretty good. But then again it's the fact she's acting like an idol and she's literally a kid rather than the singing part. Female idols bring in male fans and vice versa, children don't have a place in this scene.
Saw a video on tiktok of a salaryman kn his knees at a subway begging a girl who seemed to be in a school uniform to sleep with him, but she ignores it and looks calm as he is wailing and complaining as if this happens all the time. No one even helps...this seems very normal.
That’s terrifying!

Her fans should be 11 year olds not 41 year olds. Child exploitation happening here period
THANK YOU!
Then where are the 11 year olds to see her?
Supply meets demand where it demands to see it. If there was a demand, she would be singing in front of 11 year olds - there is no demand for that.
@@DekkarJr what... So what are you saying?
@@soulfulfreedomheart2505 I am saying that if they could access an equal amount of 11 year olds to go and sing to wouldn't they do that rather than pimping her out to these pervs? Of course they would.
This is Japan, not America or Britain, it's a different culture, there aren't rly that many kids to begin with and TONS AND TONS of lonely men and lonely women as a result of their massive overworking of both sexes and their culture failing to produce a mechanism that transitioned younger generations into a normal dating pattern.
So you get weird markets as a result to appeal to lonely women who worked past their birthing years paying young men to spend time with them and feel an emotional connection, and you get things like the maid cafes, and things like this - of course there are pervs, but it's just like how simps aren't really looking at girls as sex objects - hundreds of thousands of simps pay women on twitch from a distance just to feel valuable to men.
I believe this same phenomenon is happening here. They don't have the normal things someone should have in their life as a result of failures of their generations in society - men fantasizing about feeling valued and looking at a girl as daughter-figure is not out of this world.
@@DekkarJr which one looked at her as a daughter figure? There is no excuse no matter what the reason for exploitation of children. I think it is exactly what it is and cannot be excused away by any reason whatsoever. She is a child. All the girls in this are children. It's sick and that don't matter what country on earth you live in.
"Give me love, kiss me baby" sung by 11 year old kid to adult men in their middle age 🤦♂️
Revolting
Hey, you probably don't realize but you must have sung such songs when you were 8. Well, if you have heard of Celine Dion, then you must have heard of her song "Its all coming back to me." Then just read the lyrics and you will know why I bring this up. Then a lot of children below 10 have sung it. But Did the children know the meaning of some of the lines of the song? No. Was the song intended to be sexual? No. Those songs are about love. And there is nothing dirty about the act of union between a man and a woman. But do children even care? No. They only try to interpret the "love" part of the song. Me, I remember singing such songs but it was only until I reach 15 that I truly realized the hidden meanings. Anyway, most love songs are like that. For goodness sake, the phrase "Give me love, kiss me baby" is not that much, unless you are one of the few people who are disgusted by love or no longer know the meaning of love, always associating it with ulterior motives. Girls her age still interprets such songs to its purest form. Then this means there is nothing wrong with the song, and there is nothing wrong with the child singing it. It is us adults that adds malice to it and misinterprets her intentions when she sang that song. Blame the adults, not her. Cant you see it in her eyes? those are the eyes of someone looking at the future, someone full of dreams. Don't you dare add dirt to it. You make me sick.
@@almezamorra1021 basically you just wrongly assumed we blaming and condemning the poor little girl who is just playing obediently the dirty games of adults that were supposed to protect her but prefer to exploit and manipulate the kid...
Well, thank you for the unnecessary comment since we already know whom to blame or not. Have a nice day!
@Mihaela Strugaru I dont care If I make you sick, I stand by my belief. Adults should stop sexualizing the act of children. And Im not even talking to you.
@@kciemimido962 Then change your comment so that there will be no misunderstanding. Instead of writing it in such a manner, why not just blame the adults. Your comment merely summarize the situation along with that facepalm. It doesnt blame the adults or anything. Whats more, the way you said it, emphasizes the action of singing, not the act of listening by the adults. Your comment still infuriates me, and will continue to infuriate me. I dont care about your intentions.

he's complacent! "i have no intention of denying that some audience members fall in love with her because different people exist. but if someone crosses the line, it's my job to protect her from them." 14:50
@PuraguCryostato None of them do though, it's a quite safe environment. Here in the west rape is around 50 times more prevalent than Japan.
@@cuckingfunt9353 yes, but just like how child pornography is illegal even if the viewers aren't touching them, it doesnt mean that its not wrong
cucking funt depends on the western country also in japan, it’s not even counted as rape unless it can be proven that violence was used. There was was a case where a girl was raped by gun point but turns out it wasn’t a real gun so even though she thought she was in danger it didn’t count as rape. So there is that
@PuraguCryostato I know that, but the other part of the statement is concerning. he thinks that these pedophiles and predators are necessary for her to reach stardom.
you can tell the host is so disappointed and frustrated that everyone just wants to turn a blind eye and pretend like they are not doing anything wrong he feels for the little girl
Have you notice most of the audience are into photography?
And this is nothing compare to other part of the world where family sold their children for sex just for food.
Google search is your friend.
This video is pretty good in term of making money for the family just by singing for an audience and not having to take off your clothes or have a happy ending to the highest bidder.
@X 👍
@X it is definitely difficult to turn a blind eye on sexual undertones knowing that this place is infamous for having the tendency to fantasizing and sexualizing young school girls. so in this context, it's very weird to see these middle aged males adoring little girls dressed up in these rather inappropriate skimpy clothes.
we also need to take into consideration how this girl, an underage, is being used by her mom into doing something that is, again, weirdly predominantly loved by middle aged men. she does seem like she loves what she does but this is not the right avenue for her right now, especially that she's just 11 who is not fully matured to know the implications of what she's getting into.
@@condorX2 shut up stop writing the same comment over and over, just bc there are mess up things happening in the world doesn't mean this ok
@X Dude ignoring the sexual aspect of this won't make it go away. It will normalize it and make it ok. It is NOT ok. If she can learn she shouldn't be in this situation, then good! She can get out of it before its too late. If being a performer depends on these specific fans of hers, then she knows they aren't that type of fans. Why bother "pretending" to be a singer to these so called fans, when deep in your heart you know they aren't there for that?
I am guessing the reporter has children and will be worried if he saw his own children doing it. You can tell by his voice.
I think all decent men, regardless of if they have children or not, would be highly disturbed witnessing this right in front of their eyes
I absolutely love that if I'm watching Louis, or I'm watching Marcel, it's similar interview styles (with a similar voice), and is always quality content. Awesome brothers.

I feel so incredibly bad for her. Her mother most likely wants to live her life she wanted through her daughter. She manipulates Yuni since she might have idols. I know many young girls who want to be idols. So her mother is selling her child out. She thinks she is becoming and idol and is super happy as you can see. It’s so sad to think when she grows up she will realize the horrible toxic environment she was brought up to think was ok. It’s just horrible.

I'm honestly speechless at the man who brought cuffs to the fan meeting.

You guys would never be so lenient to any other country. If it's only about a parental feeling, how come you don't see lonely women becoming fixated with these girls? Keep justifying unhealthy parasocial relationships and obsessions with little girls. Even if these guys won't hurt her, you guys could stop stop going in loops to not call a spade a spade.

Tokyo Friday, June 16, 2023. Japan’s Parliament on Friday raised the age of sexual consent to 16 from 13.
It was 13 ? wtf
@@geodudespolitica6869 Basically 13 was the lowest any prefecture could possibly set it to, but every place in Japan had chosen to set it to either 16 or 18 so it was practically 18 anyways even before the change.

I know right! And they’re usually so advanced with most things
Their age of consent also pretty low among other nations.

Nah I don't think he's sus. Japanese don't know English, at all. He was trying very hard to remember the English words. Apart from that, he's just like that.
For me, I think the most disturbing point of her live performance, was the near silence of her audience and the clicking of the cameras while she was performing. I hope her dreams of stardom are realized in a positive way. If I were her father, her dream of stardom would be limited to voicing characters in anime anonymously, not on that stage. She would have to settle on her coming out at 21, if I were her father.
because it is so easy to chose a path to become idol interesting

her father is absent, which is why this is happening. its pure evil what her mom is doing
the maid cafe worker who drew his face is very talented woah, she cartoonified his face so quickly and so well
Her manager literally rolled his eyes when he said “he wished she had fans her own age”
To be fair Japanese people culturally don't really look people in the eye as much as westerners, so there's much more meeting your gaze and then immediately averting it. He could just be looking away casually.
i don’t like that manager dude at all for justifying the sexualization, but i don’t think he was rolling his eyes. i don’t think japanese people would do that with a stranger, while being interviewed. he was merely looking away because like what the previous comment said: they can’t maintain eye contact.

Her mother is delusional if she believes these men just go to her concerts for her "singing voice". Come on woman, these men are undressing your daughter with their eyes. Disgusting
They probably sat her down for a 10-30 minute interview and everything is cut besides the couple of soundbites they wanted for their story.
I am rather sure that a significant portion of her audience are not pedophiles. While obviously a disturbing amount seem to be, the mother knows that and thats why she is monitoring the fans so carefully. With any kind of exposure come creepy people but it seemed like the daughter liked what she was doing and wasnt forced into anything nor was she sexualised in any way, and she still had a lot of free time.
@jane lam in the United States there is a TV show called Dance moms which shows them moms exposing and sexualizing their children.

Of course they are, this is not pigmerica
Something I found out this past month about these young girls is, Their Managers make most of the money from their song sales and from tickets to her show. they only get maybe around 5%, this also goes for shirts and other items. they are locked into a long-term contract " IE 10+ years to even 20 years at a young age" and in Japan, these contracts can't be broken by the girls. they are forced to go on dates with older men from record companies to DJs from radio stations to get their songs played. How can a parent do this to their kids :/
Apparently.. these middle aged average looking men did not do any harm to her. They are just fond of her.
It only proves that the middle aged men around her are not bad people. Just because they are middle aged and average, have no wives or gf.. and men, it doesn't mean they are bad people.
People are too judge mental. Every people have desires... old or young. If there are victims of this video.. it's the old middle aged averga looking men.. getting judged by the public. These middle aged men are a victims of the sexual market deregulation. They are not molesters.

@@zb2433 I've been explaining that to my brother for yrs. He loves anime, and is so oblivious to some of the subtle brainwashing you see in a lot of anime (not all anime, but I do see it a lot).

I'm not being that close minded person, but this is actually creepy. There is no way these middle aged men have innocent thoughts about these little girls...
hell no, a bunch of these pictures are probably sold from creepy men to creepy men, and they are not used as a cute little souvenir in their phones at all
Keep in mind it's her mother who is putting her out there in front of those men in skimpy clothes and makeup
As an idol fan for years, I would tell you based on experience, some of the fans really are creepy meat beaters. But I would also tell you that it's not the same for everyone. It was a bit of a culture shock for me at first like probably for most of you too, but some of these "creepy old men" go to these events not to satisfy their fetishes but to genuinely have fun and support their idols. Like if you ask a wota (idol fan) if they wanna make their idol their girlfriend, some would say no and would probably reply with "I wanna keep being fan". The feeling of supporting your idol and see them slowly be successful in their career is one the biggest reason the industry is still thriving. I guess the good feeling when seeing your idol succeed is a fetish in a way.
This kind of culture I think started because of akb48. Because in 48 group, there's an election and if you're oshimen (bias) gets a spot in the rankings there is this unexplainable joy. Also if you attend some idol events it literally feels like a rave party--fanchats and dancing it's actually fun lol. You also make many friends and that's the biggest thing for me.
Well, as a man i found it cute tbh. Nothing else, just cute. They seem cheerful and enjoyable to watch tbh. It is like how you find a kitten cute. You don't have to have a cat fetish to find a kitten cute. They are just, cute, that's all. Why i find kittens cute? Who knows, i just do. I am not looking to get some cat booty just because i find them enjoyable tho. So well, if i can react like that, guess someone else can too. So never say never, you can't understand everyone and put them into a box...
There's a difference in finding something/someone cute and being infatuated with someone/something. And also when you're saying you find it "enjoyable" you should give a proper context as well.
The men taking close-up photos are probably making more money selling those pictures on "other sites" than the mum is. Wonder if she is still singing today?
I think the maid cafes are somewhere between Gaisha and Hostess bars, Japan has a very long history of paid company.

Especially for anybody who is a father with a daughter, if your first instinct isn't to knock the living daylights out of every single one of these creeps then you're probably one of them. It's beyond clear what these older men are there for, this reporter sees right through it all and is just being polite at times of course, and these young girls are obviously being groomed and presented exactly for these older perverts as their audience, they aren't being marketed for their talents to their proper age groups, their own peers, with the ways in which they are being hustled like this. Very exploitative and wrong, and it isn't just Japan either, it's everywhere. This little kiddo isn't being "protected" by her mother or this manager either, she's being all but directly exploited by them. No sane parent would ever let any of these weirdos near their child for any reason, much less let them pose for pictures for or with them, not even under a watchful eye. There's clearly much worse than this in the world happening to our children, yes, our children because our main job as a society is to protect our most precious resource, that being our children, and that means all of them from any and all harm, but there's also not much worse than this in many ways either. If these men, if you can even call them that, truly want this "missing daughter" of their own in their lives, with no sexual intent involved, well then do it the old fashioned way and find yourself a lady to then build a family of your own with, and quit perving after other people's children because that's a quick ticket to getting your teeth knocked out at minimum where I come from, and then where these kiddos get shamed and some end up killing themselves over it all, what an absolute failure on the parts of all the rest of us for not doing everything we can to help protect and support them.

The sad thing is these girls just love to sing and dance and go into this thinking these adults want to help them, but they're being used without care for their safety
What the guy said was pretty valid. A lot of Japanese adults are single and Japan’s birthrates are very low. A lot of them feel alone and desire a connection; so I won’t be surprised if a good chunk of Yune’s fans see her as their own daughter and stay invested to see he progress in her career. I also believe there are perverts among her fanbase as well, now way to know for sure. For maid cafes I suppose people want to feel special, connected and pampered by the staff that work there because the way they act while on shift are, well, I’m sure you can imagine.

If there were strict laws and enforcement to prevent sexual harassment, then maybe this kind of companionship wouldn't be a significant personal safety issue. However, I think the bigger problem is that the children are spending all their time training to be actors; they don't get a proper education and don't get to enjoy a proper childhood. What would become of them if they did not end up as an actor?

it’s really no different from the pageant competitions in the south. every culture finds ways to avoid the laws and dance around the subject
While I do think pageants are creepy there are a few reasons I wouldn’t consider them quite the same.
1. The majority of attendees are parents of the kids rather than a crowd of lonely middle aged men. I suspect most parents at pageants wouldn’t take too kindly to random single men showing up to take pictures of their kids.
2. As far as I know you can’t buy merchandise of the children in pageants in the US or pay them to take pictures of/with them or buy photo books.
Pageant competitions are creepy but they are also pretty reviled in the West. Additionally, most people who attend child patents are children and their family members. This audience is full of adult strangers.
The reporter’s face during all of this : 😐
He looks super uncomfortable throughout the ep
🤣😂💀
Honestly, watching this I had the same face as him.
I really do not blame him. The documentary was very uncomfortable to watch, so I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it was to film.
I watch tons of anime with fanservice episodes and even this made me fucking cringe! Real life is way different than anime and this makes it look so fucking wrong.
I really don't buy the "the guys are just lonely" excuse. There are plenty of adult idols who can sell that same fantasy to them, but they're choosing the children. It can't be the father-daughter dynamic they are claiming it is in the video either. They are actively seeking out attention and validation through girls who are young enough to be their daughters.
I think one of the reason might be they have social awkwardness towards females of their own ages which can be a cultural problem in japan, That makes them satisfy their fantasy with innocent children with whom they can feel more comfortable to interact with , this is exploitation of children for gratification of lonely shy men , what a disgusting culture. The people who are saying they look for their daughters in the child performers are simply lying because the truth is very embarrassing.

The professor at the maid cafe had some really insightful remarks 👍🏻
And as a foreigner living in Japan for almost 20 yeras, I would also like to add something that is not told at all in this reportage: most of the audience coming to the music live performances in Japan (at least Tokyo) are middle aged men (and women) - or even older people, no matter the kind of performance; if it's a foreign or not foreign band of men or women. For some reason in Japan young people don't often go to these musical events. It still is a bit of a mystery to me why, but a few of my guesses are: young people are busy with other things like work/study, they don't have a lot of opportunity to stumble upon different forms of music/entertainment. And young people might not have the same monetary freedom compared to older people. Going to live performances can be a bit expensive, and the price of these have really increased quite a bit over the last 10 or so years.
"Young" people still go to a lot. I mean people with freedom.. 18-30. To some extent high school too, but you know.
It's just different stuff. And of course the younger they are the less likely they are to have the budget to go to hundreds of shows a year so that Tuesday night show probably leans heavily toward office workers. Also, if they're working or going to university it's likely they'll already be in town and can easily go to a show as part of their normal routine and potentially already paid for season train pass or whatever. Aside for the few living in central Tokyo proper, high schoolers and whatnot would have to commute in for the show specifically, which adds up fast.
But a lot of them will blow what money they do have going to as many as possible. If you aren't seeing them you aren't going to the shows they're going to.
Everyone just acted as if it was normal for the much older man, to ask the little girl to handcuff herself to him. At any age that's weird an there needs to be a line drawn on the interaction. Not all money is good money.
Yeah
That was really shocking... that fact that her mom is there and that she is ok with all of that ... 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@fahisdiary Right! I would have demanded the police go check his basement, for victims.
@@fahisdiary It may depends, as long as those guys don't disturb her... I think her mom is there to ensure that would not happened
Not all money is good money, hahahahahhaha tell that fortune 500 companies like Nike, Apple that use child labour to made your stuff.
This is just wrong. Her audience should be young girls not old men.
I know fansites have cameras to take pictures of idols but it's really unsettling to see a middle aged man take multiple pictures of a teenage girl
young girls don't have money.......
Their trying to normalize pedos
@@hiimbob3650 ikr it's so wrong the men are so sus during the interviews
@@hiimbob3650 Yep, just like the Honey Bobos of american beauty pageants, middle eastern teenage brides etc etc. It's everywhere, it's wrong, it will never be ok, hope we get more legislation to support better options than this. It's a very bad way to get into the entertainment industry.
all that disturbing stuff aside, she's such a good singer. wouldn't be surprised if she ever started streaming or something
Completely unacceptable. Hard to understand how that can be legal. For sure it is not good for the child to grow up with questionable behavoir. I would call it child abuse right away.
They don't see her as a real kid. They see her like a fictional character on a tv show or a video game.
Disgusting because those characters are usually always sexualized
Lol, you must be under 25.
like those loli in anime.. maybe they're projecting one of their favorite fictional lolita on to this poor, poor girl.
@@sonialopez1919 OMG i meet my profile twin
@@mangopangeddy5288 eyyy whats upp😆
I hate the way the manager, the mum and the fans literally accepts and normalizes the fact that Yune is just a 11 year old girl wearing lewd clothing with disgusting middle-age men looking at her with discomforting eyes and intentions
Mom wants money
I know her clothing was also NOT suitable for minors.
I really hope she leads a successful and nice life and still uses her talents but not at this way.
in the US you have young boys dressed in drag doing strip shows for grown men yet Japan is the one with the problem.
@@KrolKaz It's possible that people who doesn't think too highly of this stuff can not only be from different countries other than the US but also has negative opinions about the culture there as well. At this point all you're doing is demanding us to look the other way.
She is being used, manipulated
