any murder involving a child always upsets me. Kitaguchi Satomi was only 17, and from from what you described about her, her life should have been golden. she would have gone on to great things, and her future was stolen. So glad justice was found, even after so many years. but her poor family, and sister. She must have been so tramatised, and i hope she's ok now
She isn’t a child , she’s a full grown teenager
@@elizabethsolorio9837 Hey, did you know that teenagers are considered children?
@@elizabethsolorio9837
May the almighty god have mercy on your soul fuckin pervert imbecile
@@elizabethsolorio9837 DUMBASS
@@elizabethsolorio9837 full grown teenager?! Do you hear yourself when you speak? She was seventeen years old not yet eighteen I don't what the legal age is in Japan.
When they ask 'what was she wearing?' , the answer is almost never anything provocative.. most of the SA incidents happen to unassuming women who were just minding their own business.. yet these monsters find them appealing.. poor satomi.. may she rest in peace.. thank you for another video Megan.
And part of it is probably just regular procedure too. Asking what someone wore just seems like basic information that may or may not play any real role in the crime. But they still need ask to gather information
@@bennu547 not when it is used against woman in court and they are labeled as provocative
@@bennu547ask someone who was mugged what they were wearing. Someone who was murdered or mutilated. It is very relevant, of course 🙄
That question makes my skin crawl more than the rape itself, as it is filled with [even] more menace, deemed more socially acceptable, and spat by people who have the audacity to call themselves just.
@@anonymousa.9094 exactly. You don't ask the victim what they were wearing unless it's a missing person case and you need to find them.
To think that Satomi's death would have remained unresolved potentially forever had Manabu not been able to regulate his rage is chilling.
A child in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 named Muntaha was found buried beside a pond. She went missing 7 days ago and the suspected killers are her neighbours. Can you please make a video about it. Maybe international recognition can help her family get justice in this corrupted country
That's crazy! I'm Bengali and that's my older sister's name! That's so tragic. 😭💔
In fact, Satomi's grandmother was stabbed more than 10 times by the perpetrator, but somehow managed to reach the phone and report the incident to the police, after which she lost consciousness.
Satomi's sister had seen the face of the perpetrator, and was terrified that the perpetrator would come to kill her someday. She also stated that because she was the only one who had seen the perpetrator's face, the pressure of never forgetting it and the fear that she might forget it someday almost crushed her heart.
Incidentally, the 3 million yen bounty on the perpetrator was funded by money that Satomi's father had saved for her to go to college.
"Saved for her to go to college" damn
Killers always target the kindest most sweatest people for some reason.
Because of their energy. The dark is always attracted to the light.
@@uniquebutterfly1162you’re blaming the victim because of their bright energy?
@@Winter-ny2rp No idiot it’s a metaphor. They’re saying the killers will kill someone good because they lack that trait. No such thing as good energy.
@@pvinixje6852 who believes that idiom is an idiot.
I don't think they are blaming the victim, rather I think they used that phrase as an analogy@@Winter-ny2rp
Megan you are allowed to take some time off you are a new mother!!! But thank you so much for my weekly fix of Asian crime and your soothing voice.
Thanks for coming back every week🙏🏻🫶🏼💜💜
@@DarkAsiawithMegan Oh your weekly video is a highlight of my week! What better way to wake up on a Saturday morning than to have coffee with Megan discussing crimes we do not hear about in the US.
Yes, please take more rest. You can just upload every 2 weeks. 😂😅
Poor Satomi Kitaguchi . She was only like 17 yrs old and she was knowned to be such a loving and caring kid . She had such a bright future that had been stolen from her . I am so glad the perpetrator was found. The sister and grandma might still be really traumatised to see what has happen to their sister/ granddaughter
Thanks for liking my comment megan
The criminal had no criminal record, his fingerprints and DNA were not registered in the police database, and he and the victim had never met and had no contact at all. He was an outsider and committed the crime in Hatsukaichi City, which he visited for the first time. After that, he lived quietly as if nothing had happened, without committing any crimes. And he probably never visited Hatsukaichi City again after the crime. In such cases, it seems that it is not easy for the police to catch the criminal.
this is sickening. the victim in this case was around my sister's age now when she was brutally killed. just like her, my sister is studying while looking forward to attend her dream college. it makes me sick to the stomach just thinking about the pain the girl had to endure during her last moment and the fact that these crimes could happen to someone that young. her bright future was taken from her by the act of a heinous individual, which is painfully unacceptable but here we are, having to fathom it. it broke my heart when i saw her photo on the screen, imagine being her sibling is too much for me to handle emotionally.
Your introduction reminded of my former school mate. She was pretty, a prefect, very smart and bold in voicing out her opinion. I always admired her back then.. Lost touch after school days. Then I learnt a few years ago she had committed su1c1de due to love failure. I was indeed devastated by this news.
Megan, I've been watching severals of your videos now. The way you're able to pronounce any foreign/unfamiliar/not in your mother tongue names smoothly without improper 'extra' slang is respectful and fair (to me as an audience).
You prefer to keep genuine things the way it was. That shows how extensive your every research is until you're able to get the names articulated so well. No single awkwardness occured whenever I listen to your videos.
Thank you for your meaningful works, trying to get the names spoken accurately the way it should be is an honor itself one can be.
Thank you for covering this case 🙏🏿
She would've been in her 30s when the suspect got caught. It's sad to think of what she could've been - she could be a world-famous architect, she could've been living a great life 😢
This is tragic beyond believe...
Going after children/teens as an adult... disgusting.
I don't care what kind of regret he felt, too little too late buddy.
As for you question Megan: I have no idea. The crime happened in 2004, so I assumed the police was more thurough with the investigation.
I'm no detective, so I don't have the insight, perhaps those cases were/are "new" in their frequency??? IDK
Thank you again for throwing light on these cases.
Must be difficult to always see the abyss of human nature....
All the best for you and your loved ones
cases like Satomi’s is proof that bad things always happen no matter what women wear.
Megan don't forget to take care of yourself and your new born baby ! 🦋💙💜🤱👼
Thank you Megan ❤
Thanks for making more videos megan ❤
Good morning Megan! 💜 Thank you for another video!
I always listen to ur videos while sleeping I LOVE YOUR CONTENTS SOOO MUCH I LOVE YOU
Guilt and regret later ,but no rational thinking before.
Poor girl
i understand not thinking of the possibility that it was a random person since most people are murdered by people they know, but its crazy that they didnt think to look to outside prefectures!
I feel so sorry for her friends & family 14 years to solve a case that long yikes i can't even image that kind of nightmare. it's terrible that Satomi Kitagchi lost not only her life but her future i hope she can finally rest in peace & glad that she finally got the justice she deserved
May Satomi rest in peace. 😢
I am finally back to watch yours videos.. ❤❤
Such a sad case, I'm glad her family had at least some closure after everything :(
Thank you for the video Megan! Congrats about becoming a mother, take care of yourself and your baby ❤
Hello Megan! Hope you're doing well and your baby too! Take care ✨
I love your voice, you have a calm and soothing way of telling horror stories, also it is quite catchy, and the camera effects and the layout, everything is just really awesome 🤗👏
Sad storie, Thank you for telling it to raise awareness.
Thank you for another video l love your videos
I am really impressed with the channel because of the Asian offerings.
I love your video and how you go straight to the case and facts without wasting time ❤
Megan you are the boss of bringing light to these unheard of cases, love it❤
Congratulations Megan! I hope you're recovering well. May your baby's future be filled with good health and happiness and bring lots of joy into your life.
Omg not me being the first viewer, great vid!!
Blessed day megan keep safe❤❤❤
he felt bad because he killed her if he just had sexually assaulted her he wouldn't even had felt bad....Man this world is really sickening.
I suppose this guy could qualify as an incel killer, but the true threat is p0rn, as usual. It’s a blight on humanity. This poor, innocent girl suffered an awful death because some monster saw her. So unfair and tragic. I hope her family finds some peace after the sentence. 😢
Completely agree. P’s harm on society is such an important discussion
This crime was completely senseless 🥹😔 i’m so glad the younger sister lived to describe the perpetrator and he was eventually caught. I don’t believe he had remorse for what he had done though.
Rest in peace, Satomi 🙏
I love your voice is so soothing,,,
Super interesting as always! But, is it possible to lower the background music? It interferes with the narrative. Thank you!
Noted!!🫶🏼💜
@DarkAsiawithMegan Thanks a million! All the best to you and your newly extended family! 💜💖
Some of us like the background music. It’s not too loud and it has an element of suspense and sadness to it.
@@alyssstout8112 I like it also. It is also too loud. Two things can be true at the same time. However, It costs nothing to be kind and inclusive, so that everyone can follow along.
This is so sad may she rest in peace 😢
Hello Megan. Can you do a cover of The Lost Sabungeros Case (The Lost Cockfighters Case), Governor Roel Degamo Case, Juan Jumalon Case, Jonel Nuezca Case and Geneva Lopez Case that happened in the Philippines? Thank you.
For someone who's having a baby this month, u sure look good unless u had the baby already. If u did, what did u have, and congratulations
Hello Megan, I always feel intrigued by your crime investigation series, this is truly heartbreaking. 😢
How the hell does the police would think a perpetrator would NOT flee the area. 🤦♂️
The Japanese police here did what most police would have done. The overwhelming majority of crimes involve either repeat offenders looking for targets or someone within the social circle of the victim. Even serial assaulters begin with someone they know. The chances of some random stranger from a different area deciding to murder a young girl after attempting to assault her is actually not that high; even in America. I’m not defending the Japanese police here but I don’t think most police forces would have caught this guy. He had no ties to the region and had no priors. In fact, in the US he probably wouldn’t have even been caught because the database of fingerprints is often not shared between different states unless you are in the federal database for some reason (which isn’t the case for local crimes).
This has to be the best channel I came across on :)
I watched this before to another UA-camr a few years ago but to add from what I recalled from what I watched, Manabu returned back to his home after his murder. Also, the grandmother and the younger sister had trauma and fear that he might return to murder them for seeing his actions. In trial, Manabu also wanted death sentence (probably due to his guilt). And Manabu's friends worried after he seemed content after the car they took accidentally killed a cat.
Thanks to hear your version Megan.
Thank you for sharing this Megan💜
Dear Megan thankyou for working so hard and making us all addicted to your content but we as your content family want you to take enough rest and spend more and more time with your baby and family ❤ and when you come back we promise we all will be here as always🫂coz you know how addicted we are to your amazing content🤭. Loads of love and power to you🌻💪
It's hard to believe Satomi's murder and her grandmother's attempted murder was this man's only crime. Such an impulsive act based on a sick need for sexual gratification, and we're to believe that impulse just went away over almost fourteen years? Because of guilt? This man went on to bully and physically assault his juniors at work, to me that's not the act of a man that feels wracked with guilt, but a man who never learned to control his impulses.
I love your content!!❤ Congratulations on your baby boy!!
I am sending my deepest condolences to the family who lose their beloved daughter, Satomi. 😢
Hiihihi Megan! I just wanted to say how are you even managing a lot of responsibilities rn!? Like u have a tiny human with u , you're a new mom AND you're also filming cases! Here i cant even take care of a single task im assigned!! Anyways take care of yourself and the babyyy! Sending positive energy and love your way!🧿
Love love 🇮🇳
I guess when you do something you love you can juggle everything you need to do.
@@miryana79 you're corret ..
Great video.
Hey Megan, I hope you're doing okay. I'm so happy for you beautiful! Please take time off if needed we understand, you're a new mother after all💕keep your chin up sweet🩷
I normally do not like monologue crime shows - one person telling the story all the way from start to finish. But I could listen to your voice all day and night. And THANK YOU for pronouncing Japanese names and words correctly....It's so irritating listening to people not even making an attempt to get it right. Cheers
Hi megan hope your precious little one is doing fine and you aswell. Thank you for uploading another video. Appreciate it so much. What i think is he never plan to reflect or say sorry for what he did to this young girl. And i believe the cops did a very poor investigation. This man had 14 years to still live hes life after killing this girl. And its so unfair to the victim and her family. Rip young girl. Thank you megan
Thanks, Megan, for your hard work. I was living in Brisbane at this time and thus is a very vivid case in my mind. Alex woke up and wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone. Unfortunately, Eunji was the first person he stumbled upon and a beautiful life was lost. We always react the same that women need to be careful, and it should never come to this Unfortunately everyone has to be aware that some people are just evil, as seen in many of cases on your channel.
This case is so sad... Satomi was such a kind young soul... it does upset me. Thank you, Megan, for bringing this Japanese case to us "worldwide foreigners " while being so respectful to the victim (and love ones). your content is so valuable to all of us. ❤
Congratulations Megan! may you and your baby are in good health always ❤❤❤ Take care😍😍
Hello Megan. I always look forward to you storytelling on your purple chair. This chair and candles sets the perfect tone. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like your channel very much; thank you for the your hard work. I am also very impressed with the purple chair btw. Great taste 🎉
He should be made to work hard in prison and the money he earns should be sent to her parents not as money from the murderer but money as a token of atleast some justice given to their daughter 😢
Ma'am I love your vids, My mom and I would sit and listen for hours which eventually became a hobby for the both of us❥
So they couldn't find him for a decade because somehow the information was not being broadcasted on a national scale? Surely that should have been available on a national level?
❤❤❤💗💗💗Megan😘😘😘
there will never be closure in losing a loved one, that trauma is a life sentence. I hope the family is getting help, sticking together and although forced to carry this with them can find a way to honour her life by living a full one themselves.
much respect to the retired police officer that never gave up on his duty and many thanks for the juniors at his work for breaking their silence and the cycle of abuse.
I do think this should have been a death penalty case but I will live with life in prison, monsters don't exist and yet monstrous acts are far too common.
I prefer to just listen to her narration WITHOUT the intense, theatrical background music, which is kinda disturbing.
Sorry! I also think the music was too loud this time🙏🏻🥲Thanks for the feedback💜💜
congrats on the new comer 🎉❤
Heartbreaking...
love all your content... learning about all the dark case in asia... hopefully you guys can cover 1 case happened in Philippines...just heard about that case happened 3 or 4 years ago...its "Ebeng Mayor" case..if im not mistaken it happened around 2021....hope you cover that case megan...love you megan and hope you and your family especially newborn baby stay healthy
I don't see how any parent whose child's life is taken can find actual closure or solace. Sure this excuse of a human being is behind bars and will rot there, but how does any parent or loved one go to sleep without wondering "what if that day..."
It's really sad to see how many young promises get taken away from this society so quickly and in a such a vile way 😢
That description portrait was likely detrimental to the case, maybe they really didn't see him well, can't blame them. But it is a relief that, ultimately, justice was made
Hi Megan, I hope you & and your family are doing well. take care of yourself and the baby. Much love to you and your baby❤️❤️❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’m sorry I’m so late this week! I’ve got the flu. 🤧 Great work as always Megan!❤🎉❤
I love your voice 🙏
Megan, I love your videos and storytelling, but the music in this one was a little too much and distracting. I mean no disrespect, the production of your videos is absolutely fantastic and high quality. I hope you may take this as a well intended feedback. Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch more than a few minutes of this video, the music made it too difficult for me.
Wishing you and the baby all the best, take care and rest ❤
It's sick he blamed so many outside factors, but failed to truly take responsibility, fleeting thoughts that he should apologize mean nothing. Society was lucky that incident didn't embolden him to do it with other girls.
This is just sad. Our decisions in life have consequence. Think it over several times before executing it.
Hello ,Megan how are you doing and how are your child ? Your content is the best ,but bad news for me this month 12 my mother is died I'm really sad and depressed
I remember this case.
Hi princess megan
How guilty can u feel without confessing and keeping this family without answers? Think he was just trying to spare his own life.
Even if they desiminated the information nationwide, it wouldn't help because he was not in their criminal database. He also avoided getting caught doing other crimes and kept to himself most of the time. He knew that if get caught for any reason the police could connect him to the murder.
hai sis megan im your fun from Philippines thank u for always upload the beautiful qualities video congratulations for your neq journey in life of motherhood welcome to our world
Thank you😘💜💜
@@DarkAsiawithMegan thank u for response 😍😍
Hi from india 💜💜
Logically speaking, for the police, there was no suspicion involving outsiders. There was no sightings on suspicious individuals, no reports on someone unknown etc so they have no ground to expand the search outside. In current time, they can easily use social media to spread the news but at the time they'll need to put aside workforce into doing that
It's so weird to see these perpetrators claiming that murder was not their intention but just to SA the victim? Like that is any better.
"Oh i didnt mean to kill her, just SA her"
Is the same as
"I didnt mean to shot him but beat him to death"
Like, [insert whatever this creature is], You still killed that girl. 👀
I LOVE U MEGANNN
I feel that it's difficult to catch a perpetrator when there are no solid connections to the victim. This is why advancements like surveillance cameras and DNA analysis have become valuable in apprehending criminals today. In this case, he’s not from the city, the crime appears to have been random, and he hasn’t had any arrests since the incident. I believe he may have been remorseful, and the act was an isolated one. Criminals that crave violence typically acts out more than once, especially over a decade. I'm just wondering that maybe there might be other cases he committed in different prefectures that remain undiscovered.
I was 18 years old a senior in high school when this happened. A few months later I lost a classmate due to a murder. Justin for Satomi. It’s sad if she were a,ive she would have been 37 today.
Most of us humans have empathy and sympathy towards other people but I DO NOT believe that he had any sympathy or empathy for the family after killing their daughter satomi ,if he did he would have handed himself into the police station . This animal should never be released because there is a good chance he will offend again .....R.I.P SATOMI 🙏💔 😭...IM happy the family finally have closure even though it took 14 yrs . Thanks for your time in making this video it was another great video 👏💙💙💙🇦🇺.... congratulations on the birth of your baby girl 💜💜 she is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰
Man,this is an insane reason in these cases.a dark sexual assult into murder.he show no remorse for the young girl.and I think the case took so long to solve cause the guy is an outsider of the town.people in the town seen him and reported him.plus,the guy fled the town after his crime.
If I'm not mistaken, you had already covered this case before in quite detail. But this time you didnt mentioned about the founding of motorcycle that was left nearby by the murderer (his fled from the scene on feet).. 🤔
That poor girl was just living her life she never got the chance to really grow up what she dreamed of being all because of this sicko. Even though it took this long to get justice at least the victim's family finally have some closure.
Honestly it’s normal to look at friends, family members, tutors or anyone who’s in the victim’s life in any way as a potential suspect. Crimes often happen because you ran into the criminal in some way shape or form. Maybe you pissed them off. Maybe they’re jealous of you. Things like that are often the case where a crime would happen. It’s early someone off the street and you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. So it’s no wonder he wasn’t caught for so long. He had nothing to do with Satomi‘s life until that day. Which makes it harder to crack because it’s not someone who Satomi knew and seen on the regular who killed her. It was literally someone off the street
18:20 Thanks a lot! Now I can’t get this African woman running meme out of my head!
