Why “love” turns to hatred…and why “love” will never go away.

On March 7, the cabinet approved a bill to revise the Entertainment Establishments Control Law, which would ban “sexually oriented businesses. Will this really eliminate the sex industry? In this second part, sex industry journalist Akira Ikoma introduces a number of recent cases involving sex-related affairs.

Part 1: A “love salesman” in his thirties killed a customer who was in love with a prostitute.

Live-streaming led him to visit the bar…

On March 11, a 22-year-old woman who was live-streaming on a street in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, was stabbed to death with a survival knife by a male suspect in his 40s who was also a “viewer. The male suspect began going to a cabaret club where the woman was working as a result of the live-streaming, and later lent the woman approximately 2.5 million yen, which led to financial trouble, leading to the crime.

In May 2012, there was another incident involving a girl’s bar where a live-streaming event was the trigger for an encounter.

A woman in her 20s, a resident, was stabbed to death by a man in his 50s on the premises of a tower apartment building in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It is believed that the man, a former customer of the girl’s bar owned by the victim, had sold his car, motorcycle, and other things he owned as a hobby to earn money, and that he had been “cheated out of his money,” and that he had developed a one-sided grudge against the woman.

According to the man’s father, the woman told him that if he was serious about getting married, he should get rid of his car and motorcycle to make money. He sold his precious car and motorcycle and contributed more than 10 million yen to the woman to fund the opening of a girls’ bar, but after giving her the money, she turned cold and they began to break up and have a dispute.

The contact between the two came from the man’s participation in the woman’s live-streaming on social networking sites. Later, the man visited the girls’ bar where the woman worked and became a regular customer. The man repeatedly stalked her and was arrested in May ’22 on suspicion of violating the Stalker Regulation Law.

At that time, the man said, “I gave the other woman a large amount of cash. When he ambushed the woman to ask her to return the money, he was warned by the police. He was said to have been upset, saying, “Why should I be treated as a stalker when I am the victim of a crime? After her release, a restraining order was issued, but it expired less than a year before the incident. The restraining order was lifted because the stalking had ceased and the woman had asked the police to terminate the restraining response.

When one-sided feelings turn into strong killing intent

The man thought, “I am in a relationship with her. We were promised to be married,” he thought. Customers who have no money to spare and are overwhelmed only by their feelings for a woman are more likely to become stalkers. They are more likely to become stalkers. and affection turns to hatred and sometimes to strong murderous intent. A man brought two fruit knives and stabbed a woman in the stomach and chest.

It seems that it is difficult to make a full-time living as a live-streaming artist, which has recently become very popular. Many female live-aboards work at cabarets and girls’ bars as a side job. There are also cases where women whose main job is nightclubs attract customers through live-streaming. However, it is important to keep in mind that the hospitality of these women is basically “sales,” just as in the night business. However, we should keep in mind that their hospitality is basically “sales” as in the night business.

Another incident involving a girls’ bar occurred in October 2012 in Shinbashi, Tokyo. An 18-year-old female waitress at a girls’ bar was stabbed to death in the neck with a fruit knife by a male customer in his 40s. The woman’s body had more than a dozen stab wounds and cuts on her neck and face, indicating a strong intent to kill. The man had traveled more than two hours each way from Gunma Prefecture to see the woman once or twice a month, and immediately after his arrest, he stated that he was angry because she did not want to see him outside the restaurant.

Finally, although not a “store” like a sex store or a restaurant for business entertainment, we would like to introduce the “Yasu Joshi” scam case that caused a sensation as an example of manual abuse of colorful love business.

In August 2011, a 25-year-old woman (at the time), a self-proclaimed sex store employee, was arrested by the Aichi Prefectural Police on suspicion of aiding and abetting fraud, after she swindled approximately 155 million yen from three men she met on a matching application and other means under the name of “Tori-joshi Riri-chan” on a SNS.

Will Revisions to the Entertainment Business Law Eliminate Colorful Love?

The women would trick the men into falling in love with them, telling them lies such as, “I need money to break off my relationship with my parents. She also sold a “love manual” that described how to cheat men out of their cash, and assisted the purchasers in the scam. The content of the love manual was that if a woman played the role of a poor woman who grew up in a bad home environment and engaged in “sick sales” (sales activities in which she pretended to be sick), saying that she was about to pay a debt, she could get a large sum of money.

The woman called the target man “Ojiba. The targeted “Ojis” were men who were “serious and saved their money diligently,” “not particular about brand-name goods, and seemed to have little money. Among the customers who came to the brothels, “talk is more important than play” and “those who came to the brothel more than twice as a regular customer” corresponded to this category, and “mentally unfulfilled people” were said to be easy to cheat. The trick is to make the customer think, ” I want to help,” or “Then I’ll take care of it.

The woman became a charismatic figure in the papa-katsu-girl community. However, while “papa-katsu” and “ita-girls” are similar, they are different. While “papa-katsu” involves receiving financial support in exchange for a date or a sexual act, “okara-girls” involve building a relationship of trust, confiding false concerns, and unilaterally “receiving” large sums of money. Although they call it “receiving,” it is a crime to lie and cheat people out of their money. The woman used the large sums of money she received from the crime to pay tribute to her host. In January 2013, she was sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in prison and fined 8 million yen. The “romance manual” is a “scam manual” that explains the techniques of romance sales in an easy-to-understand manner.

Even if the revised Entertainment Establishments Control Law bans the practice, it is unlikely that it will disappear. This is because “customers are looking for it. There are many “men who cannot fall in love in their daily lives, so they go to brothels and other water business establishments to buy a romantic experience. For them, “love” is something they are willing to pay for.

However, the lesson that can be learned from the incidents involving sex sales listed here is that “one should not easily give a large sum of money” even for “love that one wants to get even if one has to pay for it. The time spent with a woman in the sex industry is a “pipe dream. It is not something that you have to give up your life’s most precious asset to obtain.
