I am more disturbed with the fact that they let him publish a memoir and made a movie based on his memoir as if he did something great in his life. Imagine being brutally murdered and years later they make a movie about your killer and his struggle being on the run. Like that is beyond disgusting! RIP to that sweet innocent teacher 🕊
It's become a part of sentencing in the US now where murderers themselves are not allowed to publish their story in any way that makes a profit. But that doesnt stop other people from making money off of the story. Like these TH-cam videos we're all watching is making someone money over the story.
At least there were still plenty enough people with a moral compass to actually do the right thing. Unlike those pitiful and disgusting 'cult followers' (worthless pieces of human garbage) who choose to glorify a fucking murderer/rapist!
I can’t believe he wrote a book as if he was some hero escaping from the police, he took this innocent beautiful woman’s life away, my heart breaks for her loved ones, I can’t even imagine what she went through in her last moments, she did not deserve this but I am happy her killer is now behind bars.
Considering this killer wrote a couple of books (best sellers) in two countries and even a movie was made - who received the proceeds from these endeavors ? This was not mentioned in the video.
there's nothing wrong with a murderer writing a book about their actions, it is because of people like him that decide to spread awareness over cases like this. He was the most wanted person in japan, obviously people would want to know why, many would prefer the predator themselves to tell it from their point of view. So he should not be looked down on because he made a book about his journey, you should only be looking down on him for what he did to the woman; not the book. Writing a book about your doings doesn't mean you're looking for people to look up at you.
I`m Japanese based in overseas. I do remember this incident and couldn't believe he didn't get fined with a death penalty. Even though you may hear how safe Japan is, don't trust any strangers. Do not go to any stranger's flats/houses no matter what. Inviting a stranger to one's house is not our common culture at all.
Never trust strangers anywhere. Just because a place is safe doesn't mean that bad people aren't allowed. In fact bad people may target safe places because people there let their guard down. I used to live in a small town in the US that was one of the safest in the country. My dad would leave his door unlocked. Then his house got robbed.
Bro Japan is the safest country in the world *by comparison* to other countries. But I've been studying Japanese for 10 years watching the local news, Japan also has the deepest darkest things I ever seen during my time alive.
@@AbbyCavapoo24 Japan is incredibly safe. Grade school kids walk long distances to schools alone, you can roam around town at midnight even in smaller cities and feel perfectly at ease. But like you said, anywhere in the world, a few of the men (and women) are really crazy.
My son is a teacher in Tokyo, and remembers seeing this young lady giving lessons in cafes. He said that it is the first thing you learn as a teacher-Never ever go back to the client's home,it is just not done.She was just too trusting I am afraid. It is a terrible thing to see that many people think he was some kind of a hero,when in truth he was a monster and a coward.
They have hybristophilia. It's a paraphilia just like pedophilia and zoophilia except they're attracted to criminals, usually those that have committed atrocious crimes. Serial killers have freaks writing them love letters all the time. It's sick and disgusting.

Then he kills one, goes on the run, essentially becoming a villain, gets a cult following, and then all the girls want him. Wtf is wrong with people 🤦🏽♂️.

It’s always the silent & awkward ones you should look out for. They are silent for a reason. You never know what kind of evil thoughts are dwelling in their head.
He had a gf lol. It happened because there are 7 billion people on this planet and statistically, some people are gonna be born irreparably fucked up. It's just a matter of when they finally give in.
Jeffrey Dahmer's father wasn't allowed to keep any profits made off the book he had published-it was given to all the families of the victims (though they're were so many victims, I'm sure it made no difference)
I think since he is in prison he didn't really get any money or at least couldn't really spend it. What is more frustrating to me however is the publisher making money out of this.
All those people and everybody who supported this guy in his book and say he's handsome the most charming killer and all those thing they should f****** go to hell I wish those were real and they will torment this guy for the rest of his life
I am a naturalized American from Japan living in the state for over 50 years. I hear all the time how safe Japan is. With the strict gun regulations, the country is not like the U.S., but there are many crimes there, especially in the big cities. And there are many mentally unstable people just like any other country. So, please don’t be over trusting strangers when you visit. It’s my birth country that I feel so sad to mention this warning.
What nonsense are you talking about, i am American who actually lives in Japan and the crime rate is extremely low here ...the very fact that murders happen here and the police are so useless is simply because violent crime is so exceedingly rare that when it does happen no one really know what to do. You are more likely to die of a lightning bolt than be a victim of a violent crime
@@sew_gal7340 Compare to the U.S., the violent crime rate is extremely low, especially murders. However, there are always less serious violent crimes occur everyday, such as being groped-chikan in the crowded trains. Almost every woman experiences this including myself when I lived there. I have many family members in Japan and I visit my home country. What I am saying is always “be aware”.
@@user-pt8tg7dv1b I've spent an equal amount of time in both the US and Japan and I can half-agree. I do think you are slightly over exaggerating. The US has significantly more violent crimes, and you can't really compare both countries because of how the disparity between the two countries. The crime rate in Japan is incredibly low compared to the US. However, there is a cultural issue in Japan where sexual assaults and other crimes in that category often go unpunished or unreported. Japan doesn't really have a crime issue besides the weird fact that there's a lot of elderly people committing them imo. Of course always be careful everywhere, but when you're in Japan you can relax that you don't have to worry about a random dude deciding to shoot you. I think the weird thing with Japan is you rarely hear about violent crimes but when you do they are often grotesque and incredibly violent.
The fact that people would glorify a rapist and murder in such a way is incredibly disturbing. Just goes to show how many lunatics are out there. Stay safe everyone and RIP Lindsay.
The fact that your comment was posted 8 months ago and hasn't gotten much likes. Goes to show you that people disagree with you. Which is even more disgusting as it shows how millions of people are just monsters and think what he did is ok!!
@@jessicapearson9479 Believe it or not, people don't like or dislike comments. They simply read the comment and the scroll down. 🤦 Do you not know that??
Scariest fact in this was that other men would see him as a “role model”, and women would sexualize his brutality. Allowing him to publish a memoir, when he was already glorified by the public, makes you wonder how many people he inspired to do the same thing he did later on.. RIP Lindsay, you were too sweet for this world
This happened in Austria, but worse: a guy in prison for the same things started writing articles and books, became a celebrity, got out! Migled with the rich and famous, got rich himself. And murdered 16 more women until he was even suspected again. Then 2 more (if I recall correctly) before he was caught. Altogether he murdered 19 women, while being fawned over by the public. And that even though one policeman never believed him and tried all he could to keep the guy inside... incredible but true.
remember ppl : liking or being a fan of a killer isn't, and never will be cool, quirky, or edgy, etc. It is highly disturbing, disgusting, and creepy. No exception. Edit : (sorry for the long edit but some ppl misunderstood me) - The "Liking" i meant, is ppl who "idolize" killers.. sorry not sorry i look down upon these brain dead fans who idolize killers for their horrible action or "cute face". Get over yourself, you're not quirky for liking those losers. -I watch a lot of true crimes stories/docs NOT bcs i love the ppl who does the act. I'm horrified yet fascinated with the story behind it, what drives these ppl to do those things, what kind of life were they living, etc... so no, i'm not a fan of these killers. - Killers i meant here is ppl who kills for pleasure, fun, curiosity, or any other morbid fascination towards killing. - gotta add, ppl who "kill" intentionally or unintentionally STRICTLY for safety/survival, imo will still be a killer... but it makes a bit more sense for them to have fans i guess... (not inclucing cannibals who kills living human beings to survive) wdyt?
Or a sex offender. That R. Kelly was never short on adoring fans who worshipped him knowing he was a rapist who could only despise and abuse them in return was astounding.

Honestly, you'd be surprised at how often it happens. It's estimated that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 17 men will experience a stalker in their lives. The majority of instances for women and a large portion for men occur before they are even 25.
@@zagorith14 I had a kind of a stalker in my teenage years. We had the same friends - he lived in another city -, he asked me on dates multiple times and I always refused him - he had this creepy vibe, a hell of a no-no. The guy created a fake profile with my name and photos and he told everyone he knew I was his girlfriend. Once I was at an arcade and a random guy came to me and said: Oh you are so-and-so's girlfriend. I was at a mall and I paid for 1 hour at a lan house so this random guy could show me proof of what he told me, because he too was creep out. Funny thing: he TOLD ME I was gonna date him, even if he HAD TO create a fake profile. My father tried to call the cops, but cyber crime was not a "thing" back in 2002. The "creepy guy" was cornered by our mutual friends and he even tried to convince them I was lying and our "thing" was supposed to be a secret. REAAAAAALLY BIZARRE. I was so afraid at the time, even going to school was an issue for me.
People online are so gross sexualizing this dude. And I don't know how it's allowed for these people to write books and further try to hold on to their "fame." All he's doing is further traumatizing her family and further dehumanize her for his own motives.

I went to school in Connecticut, and I was almost 3 hours away from home. I dormed there, so I was there 24/7. I was in the center of Hartford and if you’ve been, you’d know it was an awful place to be. My dorm was huge on security and thankfully so, because in broad daylight, I walked into the side entrance and a man followed me in. I didn’t notice him, but when I hit the elevator button, security yelled “ do you know him?” to me. I was so shook when I saw him standing behind me. I said no and they apprehended him. It turns out, he’d been stalking me and a few other people in the dorms for months! I remember telling my mother and how sick she was from it. I’m so grateful to how serious the people working there were. I owe my life to them.
I feel so bad for the boyfriend. He obviously meant a lot to the family as well since the dad purchased him a ticket as well. So sad. Wow. Be safe ladies please. Never trust any stranger no matter what.
Dad purchased him a ticket because he was probably the only male that can accompany him to japan, pretty sure none of the sisters or the mom would want to venture over to japan after what happened to their daughter. And dad going alone would have been too much by himself.
@@xuanmai7133 and women get murdered by their boyfriends every single day so whats your point? no woman should trust a stranger until they get to know them well and even then should be very careful
@@xuanmai7133 What, so your answer to people getting r*ped and murdered by a stranger is to tell them that it's their fault for having friends in the first place? So, because she was r*ped and murdered, you retrospectively condemn her for having any relationships at all? Since you think it's so right for someone else, I hope you haven't made any friends before, etc, because you're trusting strangers. That's disgusting, I bet you're the type who thinks victims ask for it too. To be clear, it's pretty apparent you just don't understand, but it's pretty clear the only logic that can be extracted from your broken English is that it's her fault for having any relations with any beings at all.
Just wanna give massive kudos for the respect you showed to the victim and her family. It’s not something you see often in true crime stories really, in general.
My girlfriend went university with her in Leeds. Met her on many occasions and she was absolutely lovely and friendly. A credit to her family. Sickens me to the core what happened to her.
@darkmetal825 That's just stupid, you believing something or not does not make something true or not, if it has happened, it doesn't matter if you have proof, it has happened, the same goes for if something didn't happen too.
It's insane that some people become fans of vicious murderers. I honestly don't know if the killer is more twisted or those that love and fan over the killer.
When Dahmer was shown in Netflix, a lot of my friends are obsessed with him, which I don’t understand how the heck did they see in him. There should be a study as to why some people idolize murderers.
Idolizing a heartless cruel murderer is beyond incomprehensible. Some people have no shame.. My heart breaks for Lyndsey's family and her boyfriend.. God Bless you Lyndsey R.I.P. 💔🙏
I don't get it either. It's almost like these people want to be part of their infamy. To earn off the book he wrote. He should have got the death penalty. If he did these sickos would have nothing to focus on and might get on with their own lives

@@oren1305 Thank you for reply, sadly, no surprises there then, what is it with these so called judges and in the UK especially they have the term "justice" in their title.
What disgusts me about this case is the people who called themselves his 'fans', who fantasised about him, the publisher who published his book for profit, and the people who would buy the book. A young woman has been brutally assaulted and murdered, and they actually treat him like a rock star?! These people should be ashamed of themselves.
Japan did the same thing for a cannibal that killed and ate a young Girl. He didn’t end up spending any time in prison despite his admittance and evidence. Instead Japan made him a celebrity: inviting him on cooking shows and adult films with a cannibal theme. He’s still out and about living on his own. Sick.
France did not charge him with a crime but to get him out of France after the murder just deported him. Blame those who refused to charge him in France.
I disagree You have a choice in not reading it. I have a choice if I want I can read it . Everyone needs to be heard You don't have to listen. I sometimes listen to understand what I don't understand 😕 I learn much about what I do not know.

Yes. His book and every penny should go to victims families and help with what this family and their daughter endured.. NO ONE ELSE SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS!

The irony of watching a video about a woman being murdered during a language course, being interrupted by a babble language learning ad.. is astounding.
It was intentional. In most cases, a specific type of ad can be chosen whether by the the channel or the advertiser, and shown during the ad break. It was a little distasteful and uncomfortable though, I agree. Tragedy should never be profited from, except by the victim's family.
He was NOT a hikikimori.... A person with that problem don't go to the Gym 2 hours every day, is not out stalking women, going to cafeteria's etc. They stay inside their apartment as much as possible. And they NEVER have a girlfriend.
I am a hikikomori I think but I would never do anything like what Ichihashi did, I finally got to know what I am after googling the definition but I became this way coz of the trauma I faced a few years back and my inner hikikomori just kicked in btw I am not from Japan. I feel like this term can be applied to anyone who just wanna be alone in life regardless of the reasons coz it has been a few years since the traumatic events in my life and I don't feel like doing anything and don't like to go out be it my room or anywhere, don't wanna talk to anybody don't care about the generic stuff others do, sleep all day and be up in the darkness all night co its peaceful, etc I just feel like nothing matters anymore and doing anything out of my usual monotonous routine is tiresome and meaningless, Basically depressed with life. I don't know what level of depression I am in but it's surely a case of depression and extreme introvertism that perfectly equates to who Hikikomori's are.
I had never heard of this case! Absolutely heartbreaking when she had such kind intentions. Its disgusting that he was able to live freely for two years... I'm glad he's behind bars, although I wish his sentence was harsher.
Oh I’ve heard this case so many times, this is the one where he ends up shaving her head bald after he murders her and he buries her in potting soil on his balcony…… He’s a total psychopath
This is actually the fourth iteration I've seen of this case. The first three I've seen were done by, one, by Grace from GRAZY TV, two, Euphobia, and three, Adrian from Coffeehouse Crime. Personally, I recommend those channels. You should scope them out.
I wouldn't call it living freely. A life on the run is one of the most stressful existences you can have. Always looking over your shoulder, relocating, changing appearance, some criminals have been driven mad by it.
most killer suffer having odds against them /have mental illness and are outcast to society because of their differences they were born with differences and cant fit in they are ppl to they dont to be bad.
i wanna know when people are gonna accept that just bc someone is even mildly attractive, doesn’t mean that they deserve freedom especially when they do something as terrible as killing someone
Exactly someone's appearance doesn't fucking justify shit someone could be the best looking person in the world and do something so horrible and then their instantly ugly asf to me

He can't use any of the money in prison. And their prisons are very strict, They have to do hard labour and the prisoners are not allowed to talk to each other or interact. They are only let out of their cells to work. And in death penalty cases they are not given an execution date. They just sit there alone, stewing, not knowing when it will be. Not until the execution squad turns up at their door. Some prisons hang them and some shoot them.

Am I wrong for feeling a teensy bit off that the sponsor for this video was a language learning app? No hate to you/Babbel, I love your channel! I love that you offer your condolences for the victims and their families in the beginning. Too many creators nowadays just looking at this as their career and totally forget these were living, breathing people with feelings and families and goals.
100% agree with you. There's a true crime podcast I listened to on TH-cam whose sponsors were 'SimplySafe'. A couple of episodes after they used this sponsor i couldn't take them seriously and stopped listening to them. They had the 'SimplySafe' sponsor advertisement running 5 or 6 times in their hour long episodes. It just felt very very dark and wrong to keep listening to them.
These creators are getting paid. I couldn’t even imagine the mo eh and time and resources they put into get all this information and then creating a proper video to recreate what happened. I’m sure they take sponsors whenever they are offered. I enjoy knowing they have ads because I know it only means there will be more videos to come.

In the 70's I was a life insurance underwriter...the people who decide if you get insurance or not. Our job was to evaluate medical and personal information to see if the person could be insured. I had a case of a man who did his own, un needed surgeries. He had successfully removed his own testicals with a kitchen knife, sewing scissors, a spoon fishing line and an upholstery needle. What he used for pain killer I do not know. When he then did his own appendectomy,; the surgery was successful, but he could not keep conscious from the medication he used as a pain killer so he could not get himself sewn back up. He had to call an ambulance. the ER report said there were several healed badly put together scars all over his torso. Clearly from other surgeries. Needless to say, we did not insure him.

Also, it's possible that he had a way to silence her, like sticking something in her mouth or threatening her. If she believed there was any escape, she would have the incentive to stay silent....Japan doesn't really allow "self protection," either, so the neighbors also might have been scared of any backlash if they did report him.
I don't disagree with the sentiment at all, but admittedly I often find it difficult to blame anyone except the parents in actual child murder cases. I know that's not what this is, but we see it a lot on TH-cam cuz it's sensational. It's just so exceedingly rare for a well adjusted kid to suddenly murder someone out of the blue. 9 times out of 10 there are either obvious warning signs that were ignored, or there was abuse or neglect. I think I just feel like...if someone never had the agency or the resources to help themselves, how can we really blame them as though they had the same chances to choose a different path as an adult would have? They're just kids. They don't have any context for their impulses. It feels like such a waste most of the time. Some people are just born broken, of course, but that's not usually what's going on. Usually it's just a kid who can't handle their own emotions and has no one who cares, and who's responsibility is that supposed to be if not the parents? Shouldn't we be trying to save these kids?

@@blujade Most of his fans were girls/women. I don't think it's about seeing him as a hero, but more as attractive. Humans have a crazy talent of brushing aside terrible things that happened, and just get that "omg this guy is bad, that's why I like him" while his badness ain't badass, but evil. Same thing happens in America and globally, young teenage girls idolize killers because they are seen as "outlaws" and "above other men"
@@Crimson50female psyche... They're attracted to the power and dominance, and the ultimate power is to take someone else's life. That's why all the serial killers have their own female fans. It's disturbing and disgusting but it's the way it is. I've yet to see a male fan base for female criminals.
You do? And who are you? Must be some anonymous celebrity?👍👍👍 If they're "paying tribute" can victims' families please have some of these people's TH-cam monetization income deposited to their bank accounts?
It’s weird how killers are glorified, this has been going on since Ted Bundy. The amount of “fan mail” he got from women because he was “handsome” (🤮) was disgusting and unreal
Y'all heard about the girl who tried to get famous on TH-cam, who had like 5 babies and set up her own husband to be kidnapped and murdered? She had the same kind of cult following! SMH
I didn't find Bundy attractive at all. I really don't understand why women did. There must have been a lack of good looking men back then or a lack of opticians!
This was my thoughts exactly but I was considering that their standards of what they find attractive are probably specific to their culture. I remember seeing a Korean woman somewhere on social media stating she was considered repulsive in her country but was clearly a goddess IMO. Yeonmi Park was her name.
Yeonmi Park is an activist who escaped from N Korea and was trafficked in China before making it to the U.S. Aesthetically she is gorgeous. Usually those who put her down have political reasons. Her book is amazing.
I just youtube searched her to see what she looks like. She is a beautiful looking lady. It makes me wonder what they believe to be attractive over there!?
@@btnhstillfire I think that “Japan is the safest country” veil is slipping. The world is a horrible place, horrible things happen everywhere. But this is focusing on Japan or Tokyo and how reporting of abuse and stalking is ignored greatly until something international opens.
@@btnhstillfire Jesus Christ. Why is this always the go to when someone criticizes Japan? You don’t even know if this person is from America. Japan isn’t some utopia, but people view it as such for whatever reason.
Beautiful girl. She was so sweet to want to help him and honestly Lindsey could have been any one of us. Her intentions were pure. But people prey on that, it’s sickening. I hate to say this but you just can’t be nice to everyone.
Initially, i had so much of liking for Japanese's people, but not anymore. Never. A sweet, loving girl was brutally murdered and to celebrate her tragedy, the accused is treated with so much of love and respect. Where the hell is humanity and justice being served. A movie and his book making it to being the best seller, he fucking killed that innocent girl for no reason. How could you put such a hard core criminal up the pedestal? He literally is a psychopath who needs death punishment and no scope of reformation, coz such criminals don't ever change. I feel so bad and am in full of tears for her and her family, who had to go through this. The lawyers failed them and the country has too. They honored her criminal and made him an overnight sensation. It's one of the most unsafe and inhumane place existing out there.
It’s not a country’s fault actually…you can see this type of glorying a murderer or not getting proper punishment everywhere..sadly this is one of human’s nature which disgusts me…
In 2012 a Florida mother named Tonya Thomas killed her four children and herself. I haven’t heard anyone cover this case.

Not victim blaming, but please young people and especially girls, never go to a stranger's apartment or house, even on a first date, even if they have a valid excuse. If it feels risky, don't do it.
She was such an intelligent, talented and beautiful young woman. Such a horrible way to die and such a tragic end. I don't understand how anyone could come to idolize a murderer.
it's insane but people do that here in america as well, and it's being normalized at an alarming rate. i used to be that way in my teens, my mental health was in shambles.
I just can’t imagine what would come over an individual to do something so savage as what this man did. I’m glad there was justice finally for the young woman
I've seen this case before, but not in the detail you guys get. I didn't know about the book, and I'm surprised all the proceeds didn't go to the family. Great job as always!
Mistake No. 1: even though she knew he followed her HOME from the station, to agree for him to go up to her apartment to 'drink water' (like WTF!!!!He was a total stranger!!!! Even though she knew her flatmates would be home, wouldn't that be putting THEM in danger too????). Mistake No. 2: to agree to be his English tutor. Mistake No. 3: to believe him when he said he left his wallet at home after their first (and only) lesson in the cafe. Mistake No. 4: to get in a taxi with him. Mistake No. 4: To get out of the taxi with him (she should have stayed in the taxi and waited for him to go and get the money and bring it down to her). Mistake no. 5. To go up to his apartment. The fact that he followed her to her house the first time around should have been a huge red flag. This poor girl was too trusting and didn't want to believe that people could be beyond evil. The scary thing is that he had already been stalking her for months, so sooner or later, he would have done something to her....but her trusting nature made it way to easy for him.
So many weird stuff with that story 1. Why did she bring him home? If I see someone following me, I'm calling the police and getting ready for war. She just let him in? 2. Didn't she notice something weird in him? 3. How and why did he write his name on the paper? Wasn't he scared that it can be used against him? 4. How did no one, especially the police notice the big ass blanket covering his balcony? 5. How did they lose him? 6. Why did he go to get a surgery at a normal hospital? Wasn't he scared they'll find out? 7. Why did he make a book about it, and why in the hell are these people selling it, and how's there people buying it?
That taxi driver is a piece of work as well. A girl going in an apartment with a creepy looking guy, it doesn't look like a romantic relationship, tells him to wait a bit and when she doesn't come out he just drives away! He could just tell the address and a name to the police before he drive off. What a scumbag.
The cab driver had zero reasons to stay.." He looked creepy" that's subjective. Its disgusting to try to pin blame for stuff like this on innocent bystander trying to make a living.
@@AutumnBRreeze Well, he is not blameless just because he didn't kill her directly. Wouldn't you agree he could have had a significant impact (more than any other person that night) on the girl's life if the police was contacted when he got tired of waiting for the girl and was about to leave? She could've been still alive at that point. He has no reason to stay but according to the story he did and left only because she wasn't coming back as she said she would. Wouldn't that strike you as odd? I would've at least called the police to make a welfare check - if she simply stayed the night with the guy, all right. If a crime happened or was about to happen - either you catch the culprit immediately or an unnecessary death is prevented.
@@AutumnBRreezeTo me, he had one reason to stay : a customer asked him something : to wait a few minutes. It's not blaming anyone. It's not being professional. If I tell a cab driver to wait for me and they don't, even if I don't get killed, I will blame him for not waiting for me. Now he could not imagine what would happen... Maybe many people say that and never come back. But it this case, she just went to get some money. As a human being I would be worried if someone tells me they're coming back in a few minutes and never come back... He did not kill her. But I would like to know how he felt after knowing what happened... We're just talking about the case. Nothing we will say will change anything but we can still discuss things...
@@vergil1us did you even read what you typed? call for a welfare check on a girl he knew for five minutes because she took too long to come back down?? you’re saying this in hindsight because in the moment it was well within his right to leave and he IS blameless
Lindsay's Father was a great guy. He spoke fondly about his family all of the time. I would never have believed that something so evil, tragic happen to them. Lindsay was smart and beautiful, from a very loving family. I find it sad that they have to re encounter this story now, forever being told. However the lesson is to never let your guard down and your kind nature take over your instinct. The thing that gets me is that Lindsay did meet this guy, in a mutual place (café). Lindsay was trying to stay safe. Tatsuya was manipulative and calculating. Still is by the sounds of it. My thoughts are still only with Lindsay's family.
Always treat concerning behavior seriously, regardless of the situation. It's unusual for anyone, regardless of their background, to follow someone home, especially if they don't know the person. Taking appropriate precautions and responding vigilantly could have potentially averted such a tragic event. While what happened to this young woman wasn't anyone's fault but the perpetrator's, it underscores the importance of being cautious in the face of troubling behavior, regardless of a person's origins. 😢

I am more disturbed with the fact that they let him publish a memoir and made a movie based on his memoir as if he did something great in his life. Imagine being brutally murdered and years later they make a movie about your killer and his struggle being on the run. Like that is beyond disgusting! RIP to that sweet innocent teacher 🕊
right!! absolutely disgusting…
Every year or so we still see new shows about Jeffrey Dammer and other serial killers. Those family's see this shit every year. Just sick
It's become a part of sentencing in the US now where murderers themselves are not allowed to publish their story in any way that makes a profit. But that doesnt stop other people from making money off of the story. Like these TH-cam videos we're all watching is making someone money over the story.
I'm like 420 woot woot
Not only should that be illegal, un-executed murderers should be forced to work the rest of their lives and give everything they earn to the family.
Kudos to the clinic who reported to police about his strange scars. If they haven't reported, he wouldn't have been discovered
At least there were still plenty enough people with a moral compass to actually do the right thing. Unlike those pitiful and disgusting 'cult followers' (worthless pieces of human garbage) who choose to glorify a fucking murderer/rapist!

Someone wanted to hear the story. Yu just listened to someone else tell the story. To hear from the source is intriguing
Considering this killer wrote a couple of books (best sellers) in two countries and even a movie was made - who received the proceeds from these endeavors ? This was not mentioned in the video.
@@iamthefuss934 Intriguing, huh? 👌🏻
They were probably mortified that his book was turned into a movie.
there's nothing wrong with a murderer writing a book about their actions, it is because of people like him that decide to spread awareness over cases like this. He was the most wanted person in japan, obviously people would want to know why, many would prefer the predator themselves to tell it from their point of view. So he should not be looked down on because he made a book about his journey, you should only be looking down on him for what he did to the woman; not the book. Writing a book about your doings doesn't mean you're looking for people to look up at you.
I`m Japanese based in overseas. I do remember this incident and couldn't believe he didn't get fined with a death penalty.
Even though you may hear how safe Japan is, don't trust any strangers. Do not go to any stranger's flats/houses no matter what. Inviting a stranger to one's house is not our common culture at all.
I got the impression that Japan wasn't safe. Some of the men are really crazy there.
Actually, since the 70's with t3d b^ndy, don' trust any stranger anywhere, no matter the country. Always be alert!
Never trust strangers anywhere. Just because a place is safe doesn't mean that bad people aren't allowed. In fact bad people may target safe places because people there let their guard down. I used to live in a small town in the US that was one of the safest in the country. My dad would leave his door unlocked. Then his house got robbed.
Bro Japan is the safest country in the world *by comparison* to other countries. But I've been studying Japanese for 10 years watching the local news, Japan also has the deepest darkest things I ever seen during my time alive.
@@AbbyCavapoo24 Japan is incredibly safe. Grade school kids walk long distances to schools alone, you can roam around town at midnight even in smaller cities and feel perfectly at ease. But like you said, anywhere in the world, a few of the men (and women) are really crazy.

I am a naturalized American from Japan living in the state for over 50 years. I hear all the time how safe Japan is. With the strict gun regulations, the country is not like the U.S., but there are many crimes there, especially in the big cities. And there are many mentally unstable people just like any other country. So, please
don’t be over trusting strangers when you visit. It’s my birth country that I feel so sad to mention this warning.
What nonsense are you talking about, i am American who actually lives in Japan and the crime rate is extremely low here ...the very fact that murders happen here and the police are so useless is simply because violent crime is so exceedingly rare that when it does happen no one really know what to do. You are more likely to die of a lightning bolt than be a victim of a violent crime
Agree
@@sew_gal7340 Compare to the U.S., the violent crime rate is extremely low, especially murders. However, there are always less serious violent crimes occur everyday, such as being groped-chikan in the crowded trains. Almost every woman experiences this including myself when I lived there. I have many family members in Japan and I visit my home country. What I am saying is always “be aware”.
Thanks
@@user-pt8tg7dv1b I've spent an equal amount of time in both the US and Japan and I can half-agree. I do think you are slightly over exaggerating. The US has significantly more violent crimes, and you can't really compare both countries because of how the disparity between the two countries. The crime rate in Japan is incredibly low compared to the US. However, there is a cultural issue in Japan where sexual assaults and other crimes in that category often go unpunished or unreported. Japan doesn't really have a crime issue besides the weird fact that there's a lot of elderly people committing them imo. Of course always be careful everywhere, but when you're in Japan you can relax that you don't have to worry about a random dude deciding to shoot you.
I think the weird thing with Japan is you rarely hear about violent crimes but when you do they are often grotesque and incredibly violent.
The fact that people would glorify a rapist and murder in such a way is incredibly disturbing. Just goes to show how many lunatics are out there. Stay safe everyone and RIP Lindsay.

Scariest fact in this was that other men would see him as a “role model”, and women would sexualize his brutality.

RIP Lindsay, you were too sweet for this world
This happened in Austria, but worse: a guy in prison for the same things started writing articles and books, became a celebrity, got out! Migled with the rich and famous, got rich himself. And murdered 16 more women until he was even suspected again. Then 2 more (if I recall correctly) before he was caught. Altogether he murdered 19 women, while being fawned over by the public.
And that even though one policeman never believed him and tried all he could to keep the guy inside... incredible but true.

-I watch a lot of true crimes stories/docs NOT bcs i love the ppl who does the act. I'm horrified yet fascinated with the story behind it, what drives these ppl to do those things, what kind of life were they living, etc... so no, i'm not a fan of these killers.
- Killers i meant here is ppl who kills for pleasure, fun, curiosity, or any other morbid fascination towards killing.
- gotta add, ppl who "kill" intentionally or unintentionally STRICTLY for safety/survival, imo will still be a killer... but it makes a bit more sense for them to have fans i guess... (not inclucing cannibals who kills living human beings to survive) wdyt?

I was in the center of Hartford and if you’ve been, you’d know it was an awful place to be. My dorm was huge on security and thankfully so, because in broad daylight, I walked into the side entrance and a man followed me in. I didn’t notice him, but when I hit the elevator button, security yelled “ do you know him?” to me. I was so shook when I saw him standing behind me. I said no and they apprehended him. It turns out, he’d been stalking me and a few other people in the dorms for months! I remember telling my mother and how sick she was from it. I’m so grateful to how serious the people working there were. I owe my life to them.
I feel so bad for the boyfriend. He obviously meant a lot to the family as well since the dad purchased him a ticket as well. So sad. Wow. Be safe ladies please. Never trust any stranger no matter what.
Dad purchased him a ticket because he was probably the only male that can accompany him to japan, pretty sure none of the sisters or the mom would want to venture over to japan after what happened to their daughter. And dad going alone would have been too much by himself.

What disgusts me about this case is the people who called themselves his 'fans', who fantasised about him, the publisher who published his book for profit, and the people who would buy the book. A young woman has been brutally assaulted and murdered, and they actually treat him like a rock star?! These people should be ashamed of themselves.
Japan did the same thing for a cannibal that killed and ate a young Girl. He didn’t end up spending any time in prison despite his admittance and evidence. Instead Japan made him a celebrity: inviting him on cooking shows and adult films with a cannibal theme. He’s still out and about living on his own. Sick.
At first I thought that this was going to be that story. How horrific both are!
France did not charge him with a crime but to get him out of France after the murder just deported him. Blame those who refused to charge him in France.
True...sick society to allow a cannibal who ate a woman to be a celebrity....
Where can i watch this?
What the hell?!
It is BEYOND WRONG that they allow criminals to publish a memoir.
I disagree
You have a choice in not reading it.
I have a choice if I want I can read it .
Everyone needs to be heard
You don't have to listen.
I sometimes listen to understand what I don't understand 😕
I learn much about what I do not know.
What if the sales went to the victims families?
@@bethanycunningham8129 i don’t think so. Issei Sagawa is a free roaming cannibal and murderer in Toyko and published over 10 books and he’s rich, all the money went to him
By publishing, he gained notoriety and fame at the expense of the young lady he murdered.. Society that worships an Incel like this is sick itself. Disgusting. Feed him to the sharks.
I think its fine but maybe the money should not go to him, as to not give him power and or encourage this type of behavior.
This woman was beautiful inside and out. I feel so bad for her and her family.. As for these "fans" of his, they disgust me. R.i.p
Yeah I know that is ridiculous they need to fry him !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
there is really something twisted going on in japan... didn't they worship that child killer too... they made him famous and he made all types of freaky art and became a model and the fans put together an art gallery or something (one image was his torso on a black scorpion it is truly bizarre)... i forget his name which is a good thing... they don't deserve to even be thought about

Kudos to the employees at the plastic surgery clinic for calling the police. He may have never been caught otherwise.
So true!
He was NOT a hikikimori.... A person with that problem don't go to the Gym 2 hours every day, is not out stalking women, going to cafeteria's etc. They stay inside their apartment as much as possible. And they NEVER have a girlfriend.
Thank you for saying this ❤️
My thoughts exactly...
I am a hikikomori I think but I would never do anything like what Ichihashi did, I finally got to know what I am after googling the definition but I became this way coz of the trauma I faced a few years back and my inner hikikomori just kicked in btw I am not from Japan.
I feel like this term can be applied to anyone who just wanna be alone in life regardless of the reasons coz it has been a few years since the traumatic events in my life and I don't feel like doing anything and don't like to go out be it my room or anywhere, don't wanna talk to anybody don't care about the generic stuff others do, sleep all day and be up in the darkness all night co its peaceful, etc I just feel like nothing matters anymore and doing anything out of my usual monotonous routine is tiresome and meaningless, Basically depressed with life.
I don't know what level of depression I am in but it's surely a case of depression and extreme introvertism that perfectly equates to who Hikikomori's are.

I had never heard of this case! Absolutely heartbreaking when she had such kind intentions. Its disgusting that he was able to live freely for two years... I'm glad he's behind bars, although I wish his sentence was harsher.
Oh I’ve heard this case so many times, this is the one where he ends up shaving her head bald after he murders her and he buries her in potting soil on his balcony…… He’s a total psychopath
I’ve never heard of it either.
This is actually the fourth iteration I've seen of this case. The first three I've seen were done by, one, by Grace from GRAZY TV, two, Euphobia, and three, Adrian from Coffeehouse Crime. Personally, I recommend those channels. You should scope them out.
I wouldn't call it living freely. A life on the run is one of the most stressful existences you can have. Always looking over your shoulder, relocating, changing appearance, some criminals have been driven mad by it.
I haven't heard of it either, but he wasn't free to live out two years; they didn't know where he was.
As a criminologist I can confidently say that this is best coverage on this horrifying crime. Well done! You have a new subscriber 😊

Doesn't Japan have laws against criminals profiting from their crime? Heinous.
He can't use any of the money in prison. And their prisons are very strict, They have to do hard labour and the prisoners are not allowed to talk to each other or interact. They are only let out of their cells to work. And in death penalty cases they are not given an execution date. They just sit there alone, stewing, not knowing when it will be. Not until the execution squad turns up at their door. Some prisons hang them and some shoot them. For the shooting ones they have the most bizarre indoor truly creepy stark room.....it's very clinical. Like a horror story.
I am also very astounded how somebody who did such terrible things has the right to get published and spread his deranged thoughts. What´s wrong with society??

100% agree with you. There's a true crime podcast I listened to on TH-cam whose sponsors were 'SimplySafe'. A couple of episodes after they used this sponsor i couldn't take them seriously and stopped listening to them. They had the 'SimplySafe' sponsor advertisement running 5 or 6 times in their hour long episodes. It just felt very very dark and wrong to keep listening to them.
These creators are getting paid. I couldn’t even imagine the mo eh and time and resources they put into get all this information and then creating a proper video to recreate what happened. I’m sure they take sponsors whenever they are offered. I enjoy knowing they have ads because I know it only means there will be more videos to come.

In the 70's I was a life insurance underwriter...the people who decide if you get insurance or not. Our job was to evaluate medical and personal information to see if the person could be insured. I had a case of a man who did his own, un needed surgeries. He had successfully removed his own testicals with a kitchen knife, sewing scissors, a spoon fishing line and an upholstery needle. What he used for pain killer I do not know. When he then did his own appendectomy,; the surgery was successful, but he could not keep conscious from the medication he used as a pain killer so he could not get himself sewn back up. He had to call an ambulance. the ER report said there were several healed badly put together scars all over his torso. Clearly from other surgeries. Needless to say, we did not insure him.
I can’t believe that people like him, having a good life, great parents and being so well built, would spend their life in such a useless way

The fact that he killed someone and they gave him the status of "Cult hero", let him publish a (best selling) memoir, and later made a movie about his life is really sickening to me. It's like they support and encourage his horrific actions. RIP Lindsey. I'm so sorry that Tokyo has failed you. ❤️

I feel bad for the parents of both the victim and killer. No parent should have to apologise to another parent for their child murdering the other parents child
How did the neighbors not hear her scream for help or them fighting if they heard scratching from him dragging his bathtub to the balcony?!?
@@OverRule1 in general, neighbors mind their own business here (Kyoto). The people above me move and drag stuff all the time. They could have a freezer full of bodies with the amount of noise they make and I wouldn't suspect anything (they've been doing it since I moved in, or longer).
Also, it's possible that he had a way to silence her, like sticking something in her mouth or threatening her. If she believed there was any escape, she would have the incentive to stay silent....Japan doesn't really allow "self protection," either, so the neighbors also might have been scared of any backlash if they did report him.
I don't disagree with the sentiment at all, but admittedly I often find it difficult to blame anyone except the parents in actual child murder cases. I know that's not what this is, but we see it a lot on TH-cam cuz it's sensational. It's just so exceedingly rare for a well adjusted kid to suddenly murder someone out of the blue. 9 times out of 10 there are either obvious warning signs that were ignored, or there was abuse or neglect.
I think I just feel like...if someone never had the agency or the resources to help themselves, how can we really blame them as though they had the same chances to choose a different path as an adult would have? They're just kids. They don't have any context for their impulses. It feels like such a waste most of the time. Some people are just born broken, of course, but that's not usually what's going on. Usually it's just a kid who can't handle their own emotions and has no one who cares, and who's responsibility is that supposed to be if not the parents? Shouldn't we be trying to save these kids?
Anyway, tangent lol
@@micahfoley9572 I agree very much. A lot of the time experiences during childhood can bring violent behaviors out of a person,admittedly because their genetics might make them more prone to it but nearly no one is actually just born like that.

Initially, i had so much of liking for Japanese's people, but not anymore. Never. A sweet, loving girl was brutally murdered and to celebrate her tragedy, the accused is treated with so much of love and respect. Where the hell is humanity and justice being served. A movie and his book making it to being the best seller, he fucking killed that innocent girl for no reason. How could you put such a hard core criminal up the pedestal? He literally is a psychopath who needs death punishment and no scope of reformation, coz such criminals don't ever change.

Not victim blaming, but please young people and especially girls, never go to a stranger's apartment or house, even on a first date, even if they have a valid excuse. If it feels risky, don't do it.
Yes!! 👍 If you THINK someone is FOLLOWING YOU ………They are!!! 😡
She was such an intelligent, talented and beautiful young woman. Such a horrible way to die and such a tragic end. I don't understand how anyone could come to idolize a murderer.
it's insane but people do that here in america as well, and it's being normalized at an alarming rate. i used to be that way in my teens, my mental health was in shambles.
I love true crime but..anyone else feel it in bad taste to use the murder of an English teacher as a Segway to promoting a language service?
Very bad taste.
Exactly
One of the best videos I have seen about this case! Great job.
I just can’t imagine what would come over an individual to do something so savage as what this man did. I’m glad there was justice finally for the young woman
He was probably psychopath... nothing really strange or mysterious.
Babbel did NOT just sponsor a true crime video about a guy who killed an english teacher 💀💀💀
🤣
😭😭😭💀 this
Absolutely off. 😱
That's what I was thinking!
I've seen this case before, but not in the detail you guys get. I didn't know about the book, and I'm surprised all the proceeds didn't go to the family. Great job as always!
Mistake No. 1: even though she knew he followed her HOME from the station, to agree for him to go up to her apartment to 'drink water' (like WTF!!!!He was a total stranger!!!! Even though she knew her flatmates would be home, wouldn't that be putting THEM in danger too????).
Mistake No. 2: to agree to be his English tutor.
Mistake No. 3: to believe him when he said he left his wallet at home after their first (and only) lesson in the cafe.
Mistake No. 4: to get in a taxi with him.
Mistake No. 4: To get out of the taxi with him (she should have stayed in the taxi and waited for him to go and get the money and bring it down to her).
Mistake no. 5. To go up to his apartment.
The fact that he followed her to her house the first time around should have been a huge red flag. This poor girl was too trusting and didn't want to believe that people could be beyond evil.
The scary thing is that he had already been stalking her for months, so sooner or later, he would have done something to her....but her trusting nature made it way to easy for him.
So many weird stuff with that story
1. Why did she bring him home? If I see someone following me, I'm calling the police and getting ready for war. She just let him in?
2. Didn't she notice something weird in him?
3. How and why did he write his name on the paper? Wasn't he scared that it can be used against him?
4. How did no one, especially the police notice the big ass blanket covering his balcony?
5. How did they lose him?
6. Why did he go to get a surgery at a normal hospital? Wasn't he scared they'll find out?
7. Why did he make a book about it, and why in the hell are these people selling it, and how's there people buying it?
Boy ,you got a long way to go
@@a-chanapostle lmao
That taxi driver is a piece of work as well. A girl going in an apartment with a creepy looking guy, it doesn't look like a romantic relationship, tells him to wait a bit and when she doesn't come out he just drives away! He could just tell the address and a name to the police before he drive off. What a scumbag.
He could have saved her...
The cab driver had zero reasons to stay.." He looked creepy" that's subjective. Its disgusting to try to pin blame for stuff like this on innocent bystander trying to make a living.
@@AutumnBRreeze Well, he is not blameless just because he didn't kill her directly. Wouldn't you agree he could have had a significant impact (more than any other person that night) on the girl's life if the police was contacted when he got tired of waiting for the girl and was about to leave? She could've been still alive at that point.
He has no reason to stay but according to the story he did and left only because she wasn't coming back as she said she would. Wouldn't that strike you as odd? I would've at least called the police to make a welfare check - if she simply stayed the night with the guy, all right. If a crime happened or was about to happen - either you catch the culprit immediately or an unnecessary death is prevented.
@@AutumnBRreezeTo me, he had one reason to stay : a customer asked him something : to wait a few minutes.
It's not blaming anyone.
It's not being professional.
If I tell a cab driver to wait for me and they don't, even if I don't get killed, I will blame him for not waiting for me.
Now he could not imagine what would happen...
Maybe many people say that and never come back.
But it this case, she just went to get some money.
As a human being I would be worried if someone tells me they're coming back in a few minutes and never come back...
He did not kill her. But I would like to know how he felt after knowing what happened...
We're just talking about the case.
Nothing we will say will change anything but we can still discuss things...
@@vergil1us did you even read what you typed? call for a welfare check on a girl he knew for five minutes because she took too long to come back down?? you’re saying this in hindsight because in the moment it was well within his right to leave and he IS blameless
Lindsay's Father was a great guy. He spoke fondly about his family all of the time. I would never have believed that something so evil, tragic happen to them. Lindsay was smart and beautiful, from a very loving family. I find it sad that they have to re encounter this story now, forever being told. However the lesson is to never let your guard down and your kind nature take over your instinct. The thing that gets me is that Lindsay did meet this guy, in a mutual place (café). Lindsay was trying to stay safe. Tatsuya was manipulative and calculating. Still is by the sounds of it. My thoughts are still only with Lindsay's family.
Always treat concerning behavior seriously, regardless of the situation. It's unusual for anyone, regardless of their background, to follow someone home, especially if they don't know the person. Taking appropriate precautions and responding vigilantly could have potentially averted such a tragic event. While what happened to this young woman wasn't anyone's fault but the perpetrator's, it underscores the importance of being cautious in the face of troubling behavior, regardless of a person's origins. 😢
