It's not the only society where social stigma is attached to the victim. And the justice system reinforces the social stigma. Look at Europe where the perpetrators are allowed to cover their faces while the victims get their identity out in public for all to see.
After what happened to that poor French woman, committed by her own husband, all women, all men, everyone around the world needs to stand up in solidarity. I am so sick and tired of how prevalent violence against women is. It is a global issue impacting women (and to a lesser degree men and children too) across socioeconomic statuses. ETA: it is the one unifying experience that I wish wasn’t so commonplace.
At the time, the online lynching of her by Abe's supporters on the internet was frightening. Many people accused her of being a Chinese spy and a honeytrap, or of lying for money. I respect her for having such a strong heart to keep fighting.
Her explaining what was undoubtedly a traumatic experience in such an eloquent manner is so admirable! Let her story be heard in Japan and the rest of the world. (that little exchange in Japanese at the end was also a nice touch) とても辛かったであろう経験を雄弁に語る姿は尊敬に値すると思います。彼女の声が一人でも多くの耳に届きますように
That A-hole has a back up from LDP Party former leader, who was also connected with the Police Dept Chief. The A-hole criminal, wrote some books on Abe (former prime minister). So, the main media is also supportive on the perpetrator side. It's all about the power and money. Who controls using their power and hierarchy. So many myths and fake information spread by their conservative (sexist/anti-feminist) minded Japanese.
I saw a documentary about this case before and it was horrific what happened to her and how “accepted” rape was especially for powerful people. I cannot imagine how disgusting, humiliating and dehumanizing it might feel to have been in this situation. I’m glad she can tell her own story and I hope the Japanese people, especially those who have experienced this type of ordeal, will be able to see her film.
Powerful men, cuz women Even if they are powerful artist, idols, actress they end up in scary situations where men abuse them....produce es, directors, fellow actors ... Pdiddy comes to mind, he used videotapes as a way to blackmail them ... Soooo is always like 98% powerful men and 2% powerful women who abuse their power to SA people
Are you referring to Japan's Secret Shame? I've watched it as well, and I, too, found it full of contradictions. There’s a scene where she visits the hotel where the incident allegedly took place, and she says, “It's the light. I remember, you know this... This light... Yah.... It's same.” So, she was conscious enough that night to remember something as specific as the hotel lighting. Yet she claims she was in an unconscious state. There’s nothing objective to back this up. This is just one example, but the entire narrative seems to follow this pattern. With no evidence to go on, we’re left to rely solely on her account, but even her own statements are vague and inconsistent. And still, are you all going to keep believing her?
Trying to get laws updated in a highly conservative country where "face" is more important than justice, will be a massive effort. I wish her all the best in her life, and justice for all sexual assault survivors in Japan and the world.
With respect, having lived there for a few years and I speak japanese. the problem is not face. it's a man run country. few women are in high positions, or law enforcement. more women need to have a career and get into the government to influence the society and change the culture
@mujkocka indeed more women need to hold more positions of power, but to get there they have to face so many obstacles, I don't think that's going to be easy, I think part of the culture needs to change first in how women's role is seen in today's Japanese society

Please read her book “Black Box” it’s written highlighting her love of journalism and the excruciating effort she made to document her struggle with the police and the attempt by others to silence her.
And why this documentary has not been released in Japan yet ? This is exactly the same as the Johnny Kitagawa case. We are the last one to know. The rapist is still out there without any social punishment. What a backward society ! It’s shameful. She is so courageous. I have full respect to her.
I was at the UK premiere of her documentary and Ms. Shiroi Ito was there for a Q&A. She talked about how she's trying to get it released in Japan but no one so far will greenlight it. It's too much of a controversial issue over there and they don't want to stir the pot.
Democracies need to get a grip on regularly updating their laws. I don't even want to imagine how many must have suffered because of a law that was neglected for so long. Forget about taboos, for the law there is no such thing.
The entire world needs to stand up and help this young lady. Laws in every Asian country are too weak to protect our wives, sisters, and mothers. It's time for all Asian women to band together.
いつか日本国内で公開されることを強く強く願っています。そして司法がもっともっと性加害を真剣に取り扱わない限りは、日本人男性の多くは、いつまで経っても、性加害を犯罪という認識不足であり、被害者は増え続けるでしょう。日本の司法は男性有利・加害者有利に、男性目線で作られている。 I watched this film in the US theater and learned at the end of Q&A session with Shiori Ito as a guest film director, that the film hasn't released in Japan. What a shame. That tells a lot about Japan, the tradition, its culture goes side by side with Sexism. Women's voices are erased, and women are punished when they raise their voice by men who are in power. Gender Equity is so behind because men want to maintain this tradition, not get punished for committing sexual violence against women and children but rather, men want women to tolerate, even blamed for creating the reasons for men to commit the sexual crimes. It's ridiculously sexist country. There is no JUSTICE in Japan at many levels.
What an amazingly brave and resilient woman. Japan is ferociously discriminatory towards women, and unmerciful to those who speak up. Most the world will see her film and but it seems it will be a struggle to find it in Japan... that really says it all.
Sadly violence towards women is not taken seriously in our society. Incidents were police officers taken advantage of the victim when she goes to report a rape is sickening. Those who are meant to protect people are also often the violators, let alone influential people arrested for the crimes committed.
"Sadly violence towards women is not taken seriously in our society." Are you serious? Its literally the only thing they do care about. Theres tv commercials about it.
I agree, there is always sick people trying to minimized women struggles and Say stuffs like women are lying, they want money, they want fame, are they stupid ... When women speak society blame them, call them greedy, stupid and better be death, SO yes, is traumatic to come foward and nothing change ... Thats why laws need to change so this won't happen AGAIN
Wtf is wrong with you? A society in which the police tells female victims that they are not helping her, in which the laws are not in victim's favour (with the majority of the victims beng women), and in which the victim gets shamed instead of the perpetrator, then how on earth do you justify your hewrtless comment??@The_Comedian556
What an amicable woman! I am so sorry for what had to go through. Your courage to speak up will help to build the strength for other victims. As a woman of the 21st century, I am so proud of you! ❤
I am a SA survivor. In Japan these kinds of things are so much more ignored than in the USA so it's sickening. I stand with her and her bravery. My daughter is also named Shiori and my husband's family name is Ito.
She’s an amazing woman and I’m sincerely proud of her as a Japanese. I found many people criticized her and this is literally sad as a woman. The society needs to change! Thanks to her, we are making a progress but not yet. What she went through was literally traumatizing moment. Regardless of who you are, we gotta be nice to each other as a human being. What the guy did to her is absolutely unforgivable and unacceptable act!!!! Never ever!!!!! 勇気ある素晴らしい女性！こんな方がいてくれる日本でよかった！同じ女性としてどれだけ恐ろしくて、一生消えないトラウマだろうと想像するだけで、震えそうな気持ちになります。そんなことされたら一般的な感覚を持つ女性は怖いんです。絶対に許されてはならないし、野放しにしてはいけないし、社会が変化する必要があります。
You know what, even some women in japan accused of her that Miss Ito is lying. They are so sick! Women are supposed to be in solidarity, and some women do go against the sexual violence victims.
Confusian teachings, china Korea Japan all of those places treat women as walking holes and nothing more them they wonder why their women don't want to Marry their fellow country men
Yes, unfortunately you see a number of people online still accusing her of lying. She has absolutely no benefit for lying, she has tons of evidence to prove her story and yet people prefer to protect the man.
Japan is so socially backward it's unreal. I was raised by my Japanese mother and grandma between London and Tokyo in the 90s / 00s and it hasn't changed much since then. Don't bring shame on your family by standing out and if you speak the truth or any emotions that aren't positive you're ungrateful and a burden. Shiori is an incredible woman for speaking out in such a culture. The shame should be with the man who assaulted her and the Japanese legal system for protecting him and so many others like him.
JapJapan has many good things and also backward things, like other countries in the world. It is quite biased to judge a society only from its bad side.
@@Aka-gm4im I judge the good and the bad from personal experience as a half japanese person. In the case of 🍇 which this is about there is only bad. The judicial system and law enforcement fail women and men with horrific outcomes. You can love a country and still hold it accountable for not protecting its citizens
How many more should be a victim before they solve this injustice?? What a crappy world eh almost all countries are like this they don't do a thing until so many take a lot damage
I'm not saying I don't believe her, nor am I saying I believe her. However, anyone can make this claim. Many men in the states have been falsely accused and their lives have been ruined with very little or no evidence whatsoever. We don't even know if she's telling the truth or not, where's the hard evidence? Which is probably why the police didn't take her seriously in the first place. How about let's see the hard evidence first, then we have a case.
Rina Gonoi, former member of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Forces, attends the press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2023, in Tokyo. A Japanese court on Tuesday convicted three former soldiers in a sexual assault case that authorities had dropped until Gonoi came forward demanding a reinvestigation and prompting a military-wide harassment probe. The case is finally being recognised in the creaking Japanese bureaucracy. It’s going to take another 50 years before Japan opens itself to examination of sexual assault being systematically investigated
I honor your bravery in speaking out against sexual violence of any kind. You have made many young women feel ok, not bad or “fault” “shame” “self esteem destroying” “relationship destroying” “addiction primer” so much that women feel and were forced to be quiet and you become the fault, over and over. This isn’t a one time mistake to get over, it’s a lifetime of required healing required.
In Japan, there is a deeply rooted discriminatory mindset that blames those who report sexual abuse. When someone speaks out, they often hear comments like "the victim is also responsible," "isn't this false reporting?" or "it's an excessive claim," with many of these opinions coming from men, reflecting misogyny. Even today, many sexual assault cases are ongoing in Japan, but the victims are required to gather evidence and prove their case. In most instances, victims have no choice but to suffer in silence. For minors, gathering evidence or testifying becomes extremely difficult, making it almost impossible to prove their case. The judicial system is still behind, and unfortunately, it often favors the perpetrators. However, it is also true that, thanks to her courageous actions, more victims are finding the strength to speak out. I am deeply grateful to her for sparking this change. From Japan
Victims need to be as courageous, and strong, as support groups around. Not let these people who committed horrible crimes just walk away living life like it was justified. Good for her. Stay strong g, stay safe.
Wow. She's an intelligent and confident woman. And so pleasant in spite of what she has been put through. Truly inspiring. Please don't stop covering her case. I really want to know how it goes. Looking forward to seeing the alleged perpetrator being tried in a court of law.
Because their society is based in teamwork and being part of a group, it makes it worse when bad things happen to you as an individual. She is right that they live by the idiom that the nail that sticks out gets hammered and it's not just women either.
The price to pay is just as damaging as the rape. The most common reaction to someone disclosing abuse is horror and trying to stop them talking. People don’t want to know.
Ito claimed that the medical record showed the time of intercourse that she did not report, but in the Civil Superior Court, the judge found that the medical record showed the time that Ito had reported. In other words, the judge found that Ito had lied throughout the trial. Nevertheless, the judge created a false story that Ito was confused and reported the time of intercourse to Dr. Takao so that Ito could win the trial, making the time of intercourse listed in the medical record untrue. In doing so, the trial judge ruled that Mr. Yamaguchi had intercourse without consent. (This is a "black box diaries" to keep a lid on inconvenient facts.) To explain more clearly, Shiori Ito claimed that Mr. Yamaguchi forced her to have sexual intercourse with him without her consent after 5:00 a.m., and thus wanted to deny the time between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. recorded in her medical record. On the other hand, Mr. Yamaguchi claimed at trial that he had sexual intercourse between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. at the invitation of Ms. Ito. Why do you think Shiori Ito reported the time of sexual intercourse to Dr. Takao at the clinic where she received the emergency contraceptive prescription as 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. on the day of the incident? The answer is simple: she reported the actual time of sexual intercourse because at that time she had no desire to fabricate sexual damage because she thought she could join TBS with Mr. Yamaguchi's connections.
I understand watched her fight legal issues and hope she is recognised for speaking and warning others as females should not be exposed to RAPISTS, RAPE IS A CRIME.
The same is true the “Me-too event” within the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party! This is the most similar thing between Taiwan and Japan. No wonder supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party often shout "Taiwan-Japan friendship."
Give that women some funding and it has to be shown in Japan. Who would support that project? Any ideas? Maybe crowdsourcing? And there should be a list of distributors to contact for anyone with a project. 🌷💕💙
It must have been enormous courage for her to come forward in a society where social stigma is attached to a victim, not a perpetrator.
Is there a society where that is not the case?
Korea, India, Japan all the same. They dont have "sexual harassment" in their dictionary.
It's not the only society where social stigma is attached to the victim. And the justice system reinforces the social stigma. Look at Europe where the perpetrators are allowed to cover their faces while the victims get their identity out in public for all to see.

イギリス在住で、詩織さんの件やそのほか沢山の性虐待などが日本社会できちんと裁かれないこと、そして被害者の勇気ある告発を踏みにじるような心無い発言が目立つことなどを知り、怒りをおぼえますし、被害者のかたに申し訳ないと感じます。詩織さん、応援しています。日本が良くなるための活動を頑張ってくださってありがとうございます。❤
その他の性虐待というのはジャニーズの件を言っているのでしょうか．ここでは関係ないので、とりあえず伊藤詩織さんの事件のみについて語らせていただきますが、「きちんと裁かれない」とはどういうことを言っていますでしょうか。山口氏は逮捕こそされませんでしたが、書類送検はされており、その上で不起訴となっています．また、伊藤さんがそれを不服として検察審査会に申し立てを行っていますが、そこでも不起訴相当とされ、法的には被害者も加害者も存在しません。いいですか、証拠は何もなく、あるのは伊藤氏の証言のみです。証拠がないことを、彼女は国のせいにするのですが、では、その証拠はあるのですか？
一方的にさしたる証拠もなく、一方的な告発のみを信じ、一方的に裁く、というのはどう考えても法治国家に住む人間のすることではありません。どうもこのコメント欄には「伊藤詩織信者」しかいないようですから、何を言っても無意味な気もしているのですが、この事件についてこれから調べようと思っている人達のために、あえてコメントを残すものです。

鑑賞後、周りのアメリカ人はみんな男性も女性もスタンディングオベーションでした。娘さんがいるご両親はこのドキュメンタリーは必須だと思います。本来なら、義務教育過程で学校が生徒（特に男子生徒）へ見せるべきではないでしょうか。
大きな映画館では多分、難しいでしょう。裏から手が回されているような気がします。
個人経営の小さな映画館（これも潰される可能性あり）で大勢でリクエストをするか、観たい人を集めて寄付でフィルムフェスティバルかどこかの大学の場所を借りる、くらいならできるかと思います。上映できる方法を手伝いたいけど、日本にいないので。いつか観られますように。
She is so brave. ❤ thank you
Thank you for speaking your truth. I hope Netflix, HBO, or a distributer picks up the documentary.
I remember this. Brave woman.
Victims need to be as courageous, and strong, as support groups around. Not let these people who committed horrible crimes just walk away living life like it was justified. Good for her. Stay strong g, stay safe.
Wow. She's an intelligent and confident woman. And so pleasant in spite of what she has been put through. Truly inspiring.
Please don't stop covering her case. I really want to know how it goes. Looking forward to seeing the alleged perpetrator being tried in a court of law.
Got to admire her courage for speaking out.
Its hard to hear about the truth, but its necessary. Im sorry u went through this, and millions millions other girls..
Because their society is based in teamwork and being part of a group, it makes it worse when bad things happen to you as an individual. She is right that they live by the idiom that the nail that sticks out gets hammered and it's not just women either.
We have to change people's mindset whenever we live. Rape is a crime. Hope everything will be ok in this case.
I remember a female Jaoanese friend told me if she were raped she would not report it because she would be embarrassed.
Many too scared to report it here in UK due to being label a liar
The price to pay is just as damaging as the rape. The most common reaction to someone disclosing abuse is horror and trying to stop them talking. People don’t want to know.
Japanese culture is primarily inspired by a Samurai's Lifetime iSELF mprovement. Not about civic justice. Mind the gap pls
I think she is the only one out of which millions of women face this in Japan.
WE LOVE YOU AND ARE WITH YOUUUU WE WILL NOT LET THEM IN PEACE 👏👏👏👏👏
What's her film called? Is there any way we could support the distribution of it?
Ito claimed that the medical record showed the time of intercourse that she did not report, but in the Civil Superior Court, the judge found that the medical record showed the time that Ito had reported. In other words, the judge found that Ito had lied throughout the trial. Nevertheless, the judge created a false story that Ito was confused and reported the time of intercourse to Dr. Takao so that Ito could win the trial, making the time of intercourse listed in the medical record untrue. In doing so, the trial judge ruled that Mr. Yamaguchi had intercourse without consent. (This is a "black box diaries" to keep a lid on inconvenient facts.) To explain more clearly, Shiori Ito claimed that Mr. Yamaguchi forced her to have sexual intercourse with him without her consent after 5:00 a.m., and thus wanted to deny the time between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. recorded in her medical record. On the other hand, Mr. Yamaguchi claimed at trial that he had sexual intercourse between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. at the invitation of Ms. Ito. Why do you think Shiori Ito reported the time of sexual intercourse to Dr. Takao at the clinic where she received the emergency contraceptive prescription as 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. on the day of the incident? The answer is simple: she reported the actual time of sexual intercourse because at that time she had no desire to fabricate sexual damage because she thought she could join TBS with Mr. Yamaguchi's connections.
伊藤は、カルテには申告していない性交時刻が記載されていると主張したが、民事高等裁判所では、裁判官はカルテには伊藤が申告した時刻が記載されていると認定した。つまり、裁判長は伊藤が裁判を通じて嘘をついていたことを認めたのである。にもかかわらず、裁判長は、伊藤が裁判に勝てるように、伊藤が混乱して高尾医師に性交時刻を報告したという虚偽のストーリーを作り、カルテに記載された性交時刻を真実でないものにした。そうすることで、裁判長は山口氏が同意なしに性交したと判断した。(不都合な事実に蓋をするための「ブラックボックス日記」である）もう少しわかりやすく説明すると、伊藤詩織さんは、山口氏から午前5時以降に同意なく性交渉を強要されたと主張し、そのためカルテに記載された午前2時から3時までの時間を否定したかったのである。一方、山口氏は公判で、伊藤さんの誘いで午前2時から3時の間に性交渉を持ったと主張した。伊藤詩織さんが緊急避妊薬の処方を受けたクリニックの高尾医師に、事件当日の性交時刻を午前2時から3時と申告したのはなぜだと思いますか？答えは簡単で、当時は山口氏のコネでTBSに入社できると考えていたため、性被害を捏造する気がなかったから、実際の性交渉の時刻を申告したのである。

Yes yes yes, this is your claim on every clip about her movie. You lose.
Watch her documentary feature film "Black Box Diaries".
Bravo Ms. Ito ! 👏
It's about time change is happening. Japan has a lot of growing up to do and *wrongs to right.
Japan does have some reckoning to deal with for its still patriarchal society.
Japan is a weird place
I understand watched her fight legal issues and hope she is recognised for speaking and warning others as females should not be exposed to RAPISTS, RAPE IS A CRIME.
Netflix you're up!
I'm glad she came forward. Didn't she lose one of the cases against the guy, though?
Are you asking or do you already know?
She had trouble getting criminally justice.
She's so brave ❤
How crazy that police to ask her to forget it. Powerful man? He should be in jail!
Imagine in world war 2 their soldiers did this multiple times to women and called them comfort women. The law protects men.
empowering
no
@xrmoff is this hard for you to hear?
Kudos to your courage ❤
Keep fighting! ❤
What's the name of her film?
Respect 🫡 dear lady 🙏🏼
2:44 Damn! that's just diabolical for the law enforcement people to say to a victim.🤬
いまだに、彼女が男性と2人で飲みに行ったことを責めたり、仕事を貰うために彼に従ったと考えている日本人は体感で大勢いると思います。
前略 市川房枝様 緒方貞子様
道は険しく、まだまだ長いです。
市川房枝も緒方貞子もまったく関係ない。
この事件（と呼ばれるもの）は一人の女性の身勝手さと、一人の下心を持った男性とで起こったことであり、通常であれば、世の中に出もしない、取るに足らない男女の痴話喧嘩であったはずです。それが何故、「日本で初めて＃metooムーブメントを起こした女性」などと持てはやされることになったのか。
まず最初に、彼女が「就職活動」に失敗したと思い込み、やけになって「ことを起こした」から。
２番目、彼女がやはり「就職活動に失敗した」と思い込み、「ただ乗り」されたことが許せず、男に復讐しようとしたから
３番目、彼女がまがりなりにも報道機関に身を置いていたことから、某左翼ジャーナリストとつながりを持てたから
４番目、当時の政権与党は無類の強さを見せており、逆に左翼勢力は衰退の一途だった。スキャンダルでも何でも、与党を切り崩せる「材料」を探していたから
５番目、男に復讐しようとした彼女と、政権を崩壊させたい左翼勢力に加え、スキャンダルで雑誌を売りたい会社が、この事件で結びついて、めでたくこの「事件」は完成の運びとなりました。
他にも欠かせない条件があります。一つは彼女が美人であること。もう一つは彼女が英語が堪能であったことです。この二つ、特に英語については、実にインパクトがあり、このように海外への訴求効果は絶大なものがありました。
この騒動は飛行機事故のように複雑に様々要因が絡み合い、どれが欠けても、現在のような状況にはなっていなかったでしょう。まさに奇跡のような出来事だと言わざるを得ません。
批判している人は、単に印象だけで批判しているのではありません。批判されるだけに足る理由があるのです。
Where were these voices on October 7?
whataboutism is trolling. go away. ive seen your profile all over the internet with your far-right nonsense
Great that she is speaking out. Could this cause a massive social upheaval in Japan? (via domino effect)
The same is true the “Me-too event” within the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party! This is the most similar thing between Taiwan and Japan. No wonder supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party often shout "Taiwan-Japan friendship."
❤❤❤
The Japanese mums system needs to be called out !
Give that women some funding and it has to be shown in Japan.
Who would support that project? Any ideas?
Maybe crowdsourcing?
And there should be a list of distributors to contact for anyone with a project. 🌷💕💙
Best wishes to her.
Understandable crash out
Can't cross the line, as a man.
Strength to you
All it takes is make it compulsory for both parties to do lie detector testing.
Society cannot just believe all women.
Outlaw female aggressions
