The host was the only person she thought loved her.

👍❤️

if the diary was a façade then she was manipulative genius

Lock her up!

Japan has always been genetically short. They were k own as the "dward country" by korea and China. The taller japanese people likely have korean or Chinese blood. Once south east asian cou tries catch up to japan in nutrition, japan will be the shortest in asia

What a fucked up country

Mentally ill still simping over her whilst she's serving her sentence by sending her gifts.

Not only she scammed people with aftercare by gaining attention to people but she had an audacity to spend so much money on host clubs and get drunk. I get why they boys are so charming to her but do she really think they're something to do with her, hell no! Listen to the world Mai, those boys only wanted you for money, not for love plus they're just doing their job. Also Mai needs to stop daydreaming about boys like seriously, Mai, open your eyes! Wake up or I'll bonk you with a pillow so the sun doesn't shine.

I see a lot of people who are very skeptical about her background, but as someone who has endured bullying, abuse, homelessness, and sexual exploitation, it absolutely makes sense to me how she turned out this way. A lot of the writings I've seen from her feel weirdly relatable to me, and I've definitely wondered at times in my life if I could have ended up where she is now if I'd have responded just a little differently to my experiences. She sounds like someone who was desperate for affection but never learned how to form real bonds with people, so she strung along men who gave her attention whilst chasing a fantasy of love with a man who was exploiting her in the same way. She is a symptom of a society that is growing increasingly more isolated, and then profits off the issue rather than resolving it.

Curious to know why the Japan Tax agency requires taxes on illegally gained income. If the judgement is awarded to the victim for full repayment, is the taxes deducted from judgement or rather, is the taxes added onto the full refund judgement? Very confusing law.

The lawyers should get 9+ years too

Prison is ridiculous lmao. Like such a joke compared to host clubs and other services that use people’s bodies/ time. Not to mention the lawyers literally trying to use her for money as if that’s not a scam too.

from my mind i can say ... in Watanabe Mai case and story .... how much country can ignore young and innocent girl fall in to deep dark abbys with out any helping hand ... the country who legally give some people to open hooker club in order to earn easy money by selling young and innocent girl body...

whatever it is in the manual, i bet it is legal in the west...i live in canada. dang, now i actually feel bad for her.

So it's "wrong" to exploit pervert old men with money to shred? Meh. Edit: my notifications have been off for years 🤷‍♂️

The popularity is a pressure in all country and the misuse of the same, you influence of bad or good way, the references can provoque dangerous situations

Those gigolos are worst i have ever seen both in hair style and looks, those women have bad taste and dumb to believe such nonsense 😅

Mai's childhood life is quite similar with Harley Quinn... A victim become the villain...

I can save her

While she stole like 100M, hosts regularly bring in more than 500M+ JPY annually. The average annual repeat customer value at Kabikicho host clubs is around 50M per repeat customer. How is that not any worse than what she is doing now? The fact is that the top 10% of hosts makes more money (20M+ USD annually) than many fortune 500 CEOs is telling. Except for the bottom 10% of hosts, who are usually new hosts, even below average hosts makes more than 10M JPY monthly. Most new hosts get past 10M+ monthly salary after a few months. Japan media have effectively made it a norm for women to spends 10s of millions of yen every year on hosts.

I don't understand how she got 9 years in prison, while there's a whole industry dedicated to doing the same thing that doesn't get arrested. Actually if this were a fair system, thousand of male hosts should immediately get the same sentence, but instead how many of them openly expose the luxury cars they bought with money extorted from lonely women using exactly similar technics ? Is the issue not that she extorted money but that the publication of a manual made it too visible for everyone what kind of things are done in the Japanese mizushobai world ?

Please collect signatures to let Mai go

I feel bad for Mai she was sexually assaulted treated like a tool and the Japanese systems forced her into this help her Nobita collect signatures to let Mai go they say no correlation s crimes forced her down that path arrest father and all bad old man

it almost feels like she got arrested because she didn’t pay taxes on embezzlement rather than for scamming, prostitution and that scam manual. also i don’t know if her childhood sob story is true but i do believe you need to go through some f-ed up stuff to develop that level of sociopathic behavior.

Am I the only one who noticed that her victims were "in love" 50 year olds who were trying to pay her to come and live with them, and she was barely early twenties by then? Tbh it sounds like extra steps prostitution and thats why none of them went to the police to take the money back tbh, bc they knew it was some sort of shady deal. IMO

Sounds like Adolf Hitler's childhood.

Her punishment was way to lenient (20 to life should have been the sentence with no chance of parol), such crimes should be made as an example to everyone, scamming is not okay!

Excellent coverage, thank you. Since I live next to Ōkubo park, I wrote a paper for school discussing the reasons for the tachinbo and solutions. I watched one of the groups, RescueHub, handing out wipes to the girls at night and met the founder of this group. People like Mai need help. But when they're free, they won't accept help or seek it. Going to prison is the best thing for Mai. I see this in not only the tachinbo, but other girls I've met who have host club, mens con, and even underground men's idol group addictions. I went to a Fruits Zipper show and watched a girl spend thousands of dollars on the "cheki" lottery. So while hosts are responsible for a lot of this behavior, it all comes down to personal responsibility. There are other people in Japan, men who are addicted to pachinko, to hostess, or the many sexual services in Japan. And the ISSUE is that it is normalized for women to sell their bodies. Both men and women essentially expect women to become prostitutes. Without any foundation for morality in Japan, nothing can stop this. In fact one girl told me that if it weren't for her mother, there's nothing that would stop her from being a prostitute. I don't view Mai as a scammer at all. What was the scam? Lying? Is lying against the law? Did she sell a service and not deliver it? These men are the ones who are just as immature as Mai! They give their money to her just as easily as Mai gives to the host! So it's seriously a problem with the entirety of modern Japanese society right now. The weakness of men is causing this. If men simply found other entertainment, women would have to get employment in other ways that is healthier for civilization. Prostitution is made illegal in nearly every civilization in human history because humans have observed multiple times how it destroys society. But for some reason, this isn't being taught or adequately studied at all. Because at the end of the day in Japan, why does it matter? Most people I've talked to have absolutely no idea or reason for why they're living. In this way, they arbitrarily choose something. People WANT a reason to live and will find a comfortable reason. Like serving the host or supporting your favorite idol. I try to think of ways to solve this problem in Japan. Everyday. I believe the most effective way is a mobile video game which I have in mind. Sure, there are manga artists which tackle these issues and even anime. But it's not getting to these girls. Monkey see monkey do. The girls live lavish lives through minimal effort. But that comes at the cost of mental health. And they don't see this, just like Mai. It's amazing Mai was able to become so self-aware! She realized there was something wrong with being a prostitute. She snapped. It clicked. Maybe her book can save Japan? Gosh. I need to write a modern guide book: what is good and why does everyone need to be good? Anyway. Thanks for the video!

It’s terrible what she did but we can’t blame her for wanting money. Everybody needs money and if you have to get it you gotta do what it takes to get it. That explains all the girls on OF and how crazy our culture is nowadays 😅

I have absolutely no pity for her. My mother threatened me with a knife more than once when I was in highschool, my dad slapped the literal piss out of me and I know what feeling useless and disgusted with yourself is, but one thing I never did was take it out on other people. She is a sociopath, narcissist and pathological liar who REVELS in all the attention she has received and will continue to receive. I am glad the prosecutors are making an example out of her.

Nobody should trust NOTHING about the background of a scammer. Nothing.

07:18 See, the problem with this is how are we expected to believe any of this considering the source?

It's utterly dystopian that Japan will throw someone into prison for 9 years because basically, they wasn't paying taxes on her scam. If you pay taxes as you emotionally manipulate people into bankruptcy and sex work under the umbrealla of host clubs and soap lands, it's completely fine for the japanese legal system. Absolutely heinous double standard.

Im gonna take a guess.... . . . . . Money

set her free

How are people getting scammed like this like it’s So insane.

Why is she the only one that gets the book thrown at her?! When obviously there are hundreds of other women in Japan doing the exact same thing?! Women with these jobs scam men all the time. Nevermind! She created and sold a manual. But STILL these women and these types of men still SCAM their customers. To a lesser extent. But this still a happens everyday.

Lonely people are most vulnerable and an easy target 😢

Dang she got well over $500k & had nothing to show for it. Also, I can't believe anyone believes anything she says. She is a pathological liar. I don't buy her childhood story or her prison diary sob sessions.

sad

◆Our Digital Book◆ THE SECRETS OF THE JAPANESE MIND- Demystifying the Japanese psyche towards life, gender, love, sex and more. payhip.com/b/eBk45 Based on my decade-plus years of experience living in Japan, our book will mainly be of fruit for reaching two goals: 1.Maximizing utility that is to be had in a Japanese setting, or a setting composed of Japanese people, by being able to understand why they do what they do (and not just sit there and complain of how they do things so differently) 2.Avoid the years of trial-and-error and pain in which I had to personally face when interacting with people from this island nation, composed of individuals whose psychological framework was by far the most idiosyncratic to that of people from any other countries in which I’ve lived in (South Korea, UK, Australia, China, Malaysia, etc) ◆About us◆ AL KIM I graduated from Waseda University 早稲田大学 (the alma mater of the current Japanese Prime Minister, Chairman of Samsung Group, CEO of Sony, president and CEO of Honda, etc) with a degree in Global Political Economy 国際政治経済学科 at the Department of Political Science and Economics 政治経済学部, and have lived, studied and worked in Japan for over a decade.

Maybe this is new in japan but men end up tens of thousands in debt to strip clubs every day and this has been the case for decades , i mean japan isnt heaven this has been happening for a long time in every country

I think it's fair to say that at least 90% of these issues have the starting point from the rise of the social media era. The social media (Brain washing, and fake image) is the root cause.

We have a word for this, they are called escorts

Am I supposed to feel sorry for them as a working class man?

ah i see rural feudalism is alive and well with those backward primitives

Fuck money and power

It should be mentioned in the official education system, everywhere.
