Correct. The Elites destabilized the West systematically by tearing aparr the family unit. Now they tear apart the concept of gender. Next is age. Japan will fall as a Nation and their lineage lost forever if they don't keep Marxist policies out of their land. The fact they already have the usual drug dealers setting up shop there is telling.
Yes, I totally agree, if this problem pursues, I feel like there should be a shelter to take in kids under the under the age of 18 and give them appropriate counseling and part time jobs so that they can spring off something after they turn 18, kids need to be protected and guided atleast till they have adequate knowledge of the outside world, they need to understand that the choices that they will make now will impact how they lead a life in the future. I too really hope and pray they all have a better future 🥺
@@HolySensei842 Shelters do exist in Japan, but these kids seem to refuse to go there. I've seen on the news before that the ward protected all the Totoko kids, but they ended up coming back there.

He would be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, and a potter’s field would be bought with the money (Zechariah 11:12-13; Luke 22:47-48; Matthew 27:9-10). He would be silent when accused (Isaiah 53:7; Mark 15:4-5). He would be killed with criminals (Isaiah 53:12; Matthew 27:38). He would be a sacrifice for sin (Isaiah 53, Romans 5:6-8). This is just the tip of the iceberg. Scholars have concluded that Jesus fulfilled anywhere from 300 to 570 Old Testament prophecies. You need to believe JESUS and be born again trough water (baptism) and spirit( receive Gods spirit) to be saved
I agree, this video is important for those who don't know the truth. Realistically speaking, every country has homeless people. Even my home country Finland has them, when this country (even within) is viewed as sort of country where we take care of people. Sometimes that just happens and people fall outside the society.
You are really becoming an investigative journalist-- this is better than news coverage! I felt really sad for that girl. A lot of times self harm is due to overwhelming emotions and loneliness. The scars can make you feel embarrassed and even lonelier. I think her family is not providing a safe and loving home.
She said she went there to make friends because she couldn’t make friends at school. That’s heartbreaking. I know what it’s like to be lonely and feel like you don’t belong, but to put yourself on the streets just to try and connect with others? May she find the love she’s searching for in a safe place.
@@David_Hypnos damn, man! In my country, people would call her crazy for throwing herself at street, even judge her how much her selfishness isn't compared to those street kids who are poor or even mock her for not being able to socialize. That's why I never tell people my mental problem. I think my country just has less emotional intelligence when it comes to these things.
@@David_Hypnos Ironic. Why people always sympathize with poverty, hunger etc while when it comes to mental health they don't sympathize at all? Also, which country are you from? I always assume people from US, or UK or any other European has emotional intelligence when it comes to mental health. Plus, it is really hard since Japanese people put strong dichotomy of success/failure. My country is different story. They put the most poor, most hungry people can have their feelings validated. If they catch somone above them feeling sad, they start to compare their problem and turn to be misery olympic.
As someone who's not blinded by the fantasy of Japan and still loves the country. My heart goes out to these people. To people suffering here in the US. I'm from NY. It's easy to get used to seeing shit like that and letting the humanity drain out of you. Seriously. It's a cold world out there and I'm rooting for these people.
You can judge a society by how many homelessness problems they have, and what system is in place to rehabilitate people to live a good life. I was born from homeless parents. My mother was homeless from 15 years old, and roamed the streets, much like these Japanese kids, having to do work like selling her body to get by. Thankfully the support system in my country is quite effective. She finished a bachelor degree with no debt, and now works as a government policy advisor on homelessness issues. I also was able to raise out of the poverty and depravation issues of my childhood, and I even traveled to Korea, Ghana and U.S. I have a good lifestyle and many friends and acquaintances who came from better starts in life who have high positions in finance, politics and academics. It's not impossible for me to become a director or full-time politician. Of course my mother and also myself as child of homeless mother worked very hard to escape that situation and rise to fortunate circumstances. I wish people across the world had similar opportunities regardless of their station in life.
I work with homeless teenagers in Australia and this shit is heartbreaking wherever it is. The neglect and abuse these kids go through is fucked. Thank you for bringing more light to this situation in Japan.
hey man, wanted to do that too, but you cant afford anything for that work for your own family atleast where iam from, so i gave up and hope i will have enough to adopt or help later
@@kanalisationerstellen I'm not sure where you live, but youth workers are paid pretty well in Australia so we're lucky with that. Hopefully you can find a way to make it work eventually, it's worth it.
"neglect" and "abuse" lol the wrist slitting girl is only there because she can't find friends in her school 🤦, she ran away from her home eventhough she prolly have normal parents
For teenagers, they really came across as self-aware and mature. I’m glad they realize the situation they’re in is dangerous, and are warning others about it. Gives me hope that they’ll move on from this life eventually. I just wish the Japanese government/society can do more to help them… Kids are precious, they deserve unconditional love and support.
You realize he was talking to one of the pimps right? "I was making good money as a host but then I quit and moved here to this place where you can find teenage girls who sell their bodies" - he found a better way to make money.
I wonder what's the conversion rate of young kids/adults leaving this lifestyle . I was homeless for a bit when I turned 18 but I never used or abused drugs.
When you are put in a situation like that you don’t really have a choice but to be mature or get eaten alive more than whatever is already took a bite out of you.
I hope that the girl in white jacket knows that she deserves better and goes on to live a better and happy life!! I pray that things work out for all of them and that they can have happy lives. This is truly terrible. I hope more will be done to help them.
I used to be addicted to cold medicine, and I would wander the streets for hours. It's an enlightening but sad existence. Please tell these kids they're not alone. At least one Westerner feels their pain and wishes the best for them
@@limitcanc3l Not OP but looking back, it made me think and reevaluate my life choices. I used to navigate life in autopilot mode if that makes sense. but using a psychedelic made me sit in my room by myself and just think for hours, which I never did before. you may view it as a negative experience but it was what saved me from a grim future and I think others can relate to that.
I always appreciate the balance of your interviews, Takashi san. You're making an effort to show all of the sides of Japan, not only the good ones as much as possible. With all seriousness, I hope that the girl who cut herself will get treatment for whatever mental health issue she's facing.
I agree that is good to acknowledge all the facets of Japan. It doesn’t make me love it less. I do hope that someone can help them face their issues, so they have a healthier, happier life than what they are currently experiencing. I know here, in America, there is homelessness, but idk how much of that would be people this young. Here we have shelters for women and children. It gets them off the street, but doesn’t ensure safety or total help with their issues.
@@elizabethhafferty1200 I feel like the homeless in the U.S. have no other choice, while those on To-yoko seem to have a choice but dare to live there. The situation seems different from homelessness in the US.

@@asdfghjjhgf Yeah, they simply like living in Toyoko so they continue to live there and I don't think many of them are serious about getting out of that life. I'm also against promoting these places on social media, because the Gen Z is flocking to Toyoko because they know and adore it on social media. Ironically, the more media attention Toyoko gets, the more the Toyoko population grows.
Was not expecting this channel to cover such a serious and underrepresented issue in Japan, and by doing so, it's really elevated the level of sincerity and impact this channel has in its commitment to showing the multiple facets and complexities of Japanese culture and society. Great work Takashi San!
It would be a good idea for them to publish a manga called tokyo kids, explaining their lifestyle and hardships. I would definitely support a manga like that but certainly not anime.
This kind of Mang/Anime will be banned directly. It will be categorized as "Spreading Negativity to Young Adults/Childre". I mean, this is how the sociey is. Everyone wished to see good stuffs and the business person whished to sell good price, and there goes the filtration going into every area of possibilities of businesses. @@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime
1 in 100 people has schizophrenia. 3 in 100 people has substance abuse issues. 1 in 1000 people has brain damage issues, so we are expecting a perfect world?
I like that you're not afraid to talk about any topic, the good and the bad, no society is perfect but by addressing problems instead of hiding them we can start working on them. I also appreciated your sensitivity and the delicacy with which you treated the topic and interviewed everyone. You're a really cool, honest guy, keep up the good work!!
In all the interviews I've seen from Takashi he is never disrespectful towards anyone and yet he asks important questions Truly an amazing man , thank you for uncovering this issue to foreigners Keep it up
I have to say, I was homeless in America as a minor and this feels like a really different experience. They can get hotels? In America, you can't get hotels without an adult with an ID, so there was no hope for me to ever get off the street unless I was willing to go into a stranger's house, which obviously I wouldn't do. There were shelters, but you can only stay at a few of them for one night before they'll call the police, and some won't let you stay at all without calling the police, if you're a minor. The police come and drag you back to your parents, sometimes after roughing you up or intimidating you a bunch, yelling at you, so I avoided shelters at all costs. I was very surprised to see that the kids look relatively clean with clean clothes; with no shelters, no hotels, and no public bathrooms, it's very hard to get clean as a homeless minor in America. You'll go into a restaurant or library bathroom to try and wash up and they'll chase you out right away. Some won't even let you pee because they think you're going in there to do drugs. Not to say homeless kids in Japan have it better or anything, just that the difference was quite startling to me. Like the girl with the cell phone, I got the vibe she was homeless because her parents didn't care to put any effort into finding her. It made me really sad. When I was homeless, my parents were hunting for me and I was running, like a game of high stakes hide-and-seek. These kids, it feels more like society has cast them off. When I was homeless as a teen in America, it felt more like society was hunting me down, like I was an escaped animal. It's just different. ETA: holy shit this blew up like no comment I've ever made has. Some really fascinating insights in the replies and only like a 30% ratio of racists, which on youtube is incredible. I should probably add, I was homeless in the early and mid 00s so I'm not really sure how much it's changed. I kind of imagine it would be worse now, but I've also heard they've been cleaning up the foster system since the 90s so who knows?
I think there are homeless minors similar to your situation in Japan but they wouldn’t appear on these videos. It’s just one visible homelessness in Tokyo.
Me and my friends from Australia were walking around Kabukicho a while ago, we saw these kids and were wondering "wow these are some cool kids on the street, I wonder if they are a group or if there's a name for them?", none of us could've imagined they're actually homeless teens gathering together. Thank you so much for the insights through the interviews
they are cool kids, queer, punk, thoughtful all the things that a bigoted family or society hates. most homeless you will meet anywhere are some of the coolest people you will meet.
@@overbored617because they’re your kids tf, what happened to unconditional love? At least until they can make a goddamn living, they are the parents responsibility as the people who brought them into this world, because they did not choose to be born, their parents did. No matter if they are punk or not.
@spook6394 Well, they can still choose not to be a punk, you know. Let's not put all the blame on the parents. The kids can also be patient till they are adults and then move out. We live in a society and child's first society is their family. So they kinda need to live by the set rules I am a young adult myself and have been through my teen years not so long ago. I remember all the times I didn't agree with my parents, but I never made it an issue. We have a very loving and understanding relationship now, because both me and them chose to be patient with each other through those years. So the "punk" kids can be patient as well
@@blank_linethe fuck? Punk is a political statement of anger against a system that keeps failing us. Kicking your kid out because they are punk is all kinds of fucked up. No way you can defend parents like that
Fact: Despite Japan's legal ban on prostitution, its industry surprisingly generates about 5.5 trillion yen annually. This is more than twice the revenue of the anime industry, which stands at 2.4 trillion yen.
So many videos on TH-cam talk about zero homelessness in Japan … this is the first video I ever seen about city culture in Tokyo from an outside perspective… thank you for this video for westerners to be mindful of social conditions in Tokyo and in Japan, my heart goes out to everyone you interviewed
I was homeless for 6 months when I was 23 but I was with family and we still had our car to live in and we got free showers at the local YMCAs, not to mention I was an adult at that time so I just had the kind of fortitude that comes with maturity. I cannot imagine being a teenager sleeping on the streets. Any society that allows this to happen has failed its youth.
Here in Australia, I was evicted at 13 and became homeless with my family for 4 months. It was interesting and I learnt a lot about life, but I wouldn't want to do it a second time. Very stressful and I always felt unsafe. As a teenager, you also run the risk of not going to school and being evicted from your parents which almost happened to me.
That's their choice tho. There are shelters and orphanages in Japan, but they refuse to go there. In fact, the ward cleaned up To-yoko before, but they ended up coming back there. And I have been to Kabukicho a few times and it was safe even late at night, so it would be a different story living on the streets in the US. And you know the girl wears VETEMENTS and they even have smart phones, so it's not as miserable as you might imagine.
@@tsdfghjklbruh... They have to prostitute themselves to earn some cash to afford shared room and not freeze outside... And the earnings have to be split with their pimp daddy who's providing drugs so they can last longer and make more profit until mentally break down drives them to end their life.... Nothing is better in whatever way u look at it...
What do you expect to be done? They aren't actually homeless. They have families and homes to go back to. They just refuse. They're just rebellious kids that like hanging out in a specific place and doing rebellious kid stuff. This is normal everywhere, it's just a shock to Japan's "Ultra-Safe" image. That one girl complained about police only responding when something happens, but there's nothing illegal about hanging out in a public place. If they truly have serious criminal issues at home with their parents that leave them in a bad situation, I can see this being something that could be brought up with police on a case by case basis and addressed appropriately, but that's most likely not the case for the majority. The people interviewed say as much.
They deserve a good home where they can feel safe and loved. Sadly it's not always the parents fault sometimes it can be the school like bullying for example, or the person just feels lonely. Parents may not always understand what their kid is going through.
I think, the problem mostly is that some kids don't find normal friends during a younger age and then they become desperate and find terrible friends via e.g. the internet (or other means, this also happened before the internet). But I wonder if "not finding friends at a young age" can be the kids' fault? Sounds more like a fault of the child's parents and/or the parents of the children living nearby (the potential friends) or just bad luck?
@@JackHarker386 I doubt most of their parents threw them into the streets. usually they go volunteerily. As the one boy said, some middle schoolers even look up to them and think it's a cool thing to do. most decent parents (i imagine most parents) would fully understand and help their kids. it's usually the kids who have an issue reaching out to their parents, so they try to find others around their same age.
@@rokko_hates_japan That's exactly what happens in Asian households particularly, you're not thrown out so much as you're cast out now as a former homeless person no child ever leaves a happy safe warm home willingly to suffer on the streets because it "looks cool" and the reason why Asian children often don't turn to their parents emotionally is because their needs are never met which is why mental health is so shamed and stigmatised in Japan because they consider it socially unacceptable to be visibly angry even. It doesn't pay to blame children when it rests at the feet of the parents, you birthed the child, you failed to raise it and now its homeless because of your failure and the only reason you "doubt it" is because you're either ignorant or lucky enough to have proper good parents.
This was one of your better videos. Thank you for raising awareness in this sad and unfortunate situation and conducting your interviews with respect for those troubled individuals. I hope they can find the help and support they need. It seems they just need a community to fit in to, I just hope they can find more positive role models.
True I mean even as a father you can provide shelter and food for your kids and they could still potentially run away. I think a good relationship between parent and child is needed to deter this type of behavior.

It breaks my heart to see all these poor young people runnning away or being abandoned by horrible and abusive families. I hope they get the help they need

Homelessness in Japan is so tame lol. A bunch of kids grouping together, sniffing paracetamol in the name of drugs, wearing branded clothes, able to afford to live in hotels in winter. If that's what homelessness is I should move to Japan. Cuz homeless people in my country are treated like animals, get chased around, ask random strangers in streets for money, do real drugs, prostitution etc.
This is so sad thank you for showing us the reality I really hope there can be programs to help them 😭😭 all those teens :( they deserve so much better My heart hurts so much rn….. they deserve a normal childhood and to feel loved and have a safe place to stay. It’s okay to make mistakes in life, there should be ways for them to go back.
When she said she cuts her arms, tears fell down my eyes. It breaks my heart knowing that no one is there for this young lady. I wish I could hug her and let her know everything is going to be okay. 😢 She said she cannot make friends in school… that’s so disheartening 😢
My heart breaks for the children and the difficulties they are facing. I know that in Japan it can be challenging to receive mental health support. I hope that all the children can get the help they need to move forward in the right direction. ❤

what do you mean by "it can be challenging to receive mental health support"? In Japan, anyone can go to the hospital and be treated for almost free, and there are shelters to protect the children. You seem to think that the Japanese government is doing nothing, but the police took them in before but they all ended up back on Toyoko, which means they don't want any protection. They live the way they want to so I don't think we have anything to worry about.
@@AIIIAKS-vn4co they can get particular kinds of help, but mental health counseling is still stigmatized in Asian countries (in a lot of countries actually)
@@AIIIAKS-vn4co I’m sorry you feel that way! I wouldn’t have said that coming from personal experience. My friend lived there, and it was challenging for her to get the help she needed in the mental health space. I wish you the best!
it's nice to hear a perspective from teenagers and not adults with skewed ideas and disrespectful people. really eye-opening and sometimes relatable. i hope they can find a better life, i really do.

crazy that they don't do anything about it, because both the prostitution and having relations with anyone under 18 is illegal in tokyo, and frowned upon too. you'd think at least normal citizens would get involved idk
Thanks for making this video. I think it's one of the few that get us viewers a couple levels further into your home's culture while a lot more are only focused on tourism.
Every society has problems, I’m so glad you put a light on this situation and these kids. Honestly it makes me feel better that you did this, now I feel like it can be easier to understand each other without this mysticism about one another.
i hope everyone here gets the help they personally need but especially the girl in the white coat. shes so young and has so much life to live still. if she somehow manages to see this video and reads the comments just know you are deserving of love and feeling safe no matter where you are! this video was heartbreaking to watch, i think us westerners really romanticize the lifestyle and and vibe of Japan but your videos really show every single side of the country and i cant show my appreciation enough Takashi! as some other people have suggested, id love to see interviews from people working in host clubs, that'd be a super interesting topic to cover.
I don't know much about the culture in japan (I'm actually learning), but i think one of the issue just like in other big cities and in other countries who are modernized is lack of boundaries, care and empathy for the average people, drugs and prostitution laws. But leaving children on the streets without help is something that shouldn't be tolerated.
Another issue here in Japan is that children are being heavily sexualized. I‘ve always found the whole loli culture problematic but since I‘ve moved to Tokyo, I‘ve noticed so much more shit. School uniforms with extremely short skirts and old(er) people turning their heads when a group of schoolgirls walks by them just to name a few. I also heard stories from Japanese friends about it being quite common for teachers to date/abuse students which is an absolute taboo. Absolutely disgusting.
@@YannMar > it being quite common for teachers to date/abuse students No it's not common. If you do that in Japan today, you'll get arrested. Sounds like your friend exaggerates stuff.
@@tsdfghjkl Then why is there so much discourse among the Japanese regarding this issue? Just look at one of "Atarashii Gakko"`s most famous songs/music videos. It heavily criticizes that they all know people who have been sexually abused by their teachers and that it is common and publicly known but everyone looks the other way
@@YannMarThat's because Japan demonstrates how men vs women attraction works and when men age they become more attracted to something called neo natal features or the more softer women features whereas women when they get older prefer more rugged men but of course of anyone reading this does not mean you're free to perve over whatever your gender of choice is especially if they're underage however if your gender of interest is over age 18 and you're at least under 35 and you're engaging in mutually agreed acts then you're okay. Cheers.
Thanks for watching! If you’re coming to Japan, please enjoy the night life in Kabukicho, Shinjuku! But please be respectful if you see Toyoko kids there!

these "homeless" kids sure are dressed pretty nice lol, and the ones he interviewed even admitted to having homes and families to go back to.....i guess prosperous times really do make weak people
You know I'm interested in Japan, I don't want to see this problem, but I think Japan will be a perfect country. Good and the rest, but apparently they lie to us. They also have problems that they ignore and they say. Good, this is not good. They should look at the good culture. their teachings and culture are very similar to Islam but not as beautiful as Islam,aaa its hard to libing in japan if they not solve this problem

I hope the girl in the white coat gets the support she needs. Everybody is entitled to non negotiable love, safety and care. I've lived in Japan for a few years, its not a perfect place. People have suffered so much.
My heart goes out to these young people. ❤ I wish there was a way to help them get off the streets and know that they’re not alone. It’s hard sometimes, especially for teenagers, who either have a hard time at school or at home.
Thank you for shining a light on this part of Japan - would respectfully keep moving if I came across a kid in this situation. My heart hurts because it seems they are living in a vicious cycle with no seeming end. 😢
Thank you Takashii for sharing with us. Didn’t know that this place existed in Japan. Feel sorry and sad for all these kids. Maybe one day I might go visit this place. Take care! Cheers from HK
I would love if you made this topic a series. As someone who lives in Japan I am very interested in what they think needs to change in society and the best ways to help them! i.e. free mental health counseling (since ik it’s no covered by insurance at all here), housing, governmental policies, schooling, etc.
I've always said that I appreciate the wide variety of perspective that your interviews offer... From talks to singles about dating in Japan, to how married couples live in cities, to life in the more rural areas. This was another exceptional example of that. Thanks for sharing and the work that goes into putting this together. ✌️💙
That was very interesting! Would you consider making another video just interviewing people who work in host clubs? We don't have them outside of Japan, so how that works is very interesting to me.
This was a great piece Takashi San ! Great questions with surprising answers , that may seem shocking to us but normal for these kids living like this . Seems the girl in the hoodie and black mask had a black eye . I felt bad for the girl that cut herself she is definitely dealing with some dark feelings of self worth.😢 Maybe a few more of these can bring some attention that might steer these kids to getting help..at the end of the day it always boils down to a money thing, as far as help is concerned. Keep up the good work brother .💪🏼
Love your stuff Takashii! I just started doing similar interview content, but in Florida. I love talking to people, even though I am very shy and introverted. You have inspired me to keep pushing forward. Thank you!
This is one of things in Japan I always keep in the back of my mind,knowing that there are children there without homes trying to figure out society in a country where the work system is terrible my heart to them ❤ if I had the money I’d literally help them
I have just been to Tokyo for 1 week and avoided this area because I have a 12 year old but it's very sad to hear what goes on with these kids and I hope they can see there's a brighter future for them even if they're outcasts.. it's not easy being a teenager where ever you are from.
Thank you for this video. It is a very important topic that anyone planning to visit Tokyo should be aware of and understand the struggle and sensitivity of these kids.
Hearing this, made me very sad😢😢, seeing teenage children who should be at school, cheerful and playing with their friends and having a normal life. I hope there is a community or government with the burden to guide them back. because they are the future of their country🫶❤. Thank you to the host who shared the story in this video. I also pray for these teenage children❤❤ japan
Breaks my heart to see this happen. I can't believe these teenagers have to deal with such a toxic industry as well as being forced to live on the street or in hotels. They should be furthering their education or getting their first real job as they enter the best years of their lives, they all deserve the chance.
@@homie3461 idk, saying you cut yourself, even if it's not true, is a cry for help. There must be something inherently wrong with people who lie about harming themselves for attention or whatever. I just view this entire situation as a massive failure from the side of the Japanese society as a whole.

Thank you for covering this topic! A lot of my American friends romanticize Japan and think that it doesn't have a homeless population because it's less visible than in America. I'd love to see more videos on homelessness in Japan because it seems like a complex issue.
This is a really important video. Thank you so much creating this content. I hope bringing these darker aspects of Japan society into the light the government will put more effort into giving these lost children the help they need. With Japan's population declining so fast I really thought more would be done to protect them.
Thank you for this great interview, showing the problems occurring there. You’re really courageous to take the step and telling the truth of the dark sides in this district.
This makes me sad to see there are teenagers hurting and feel or often literally have nowhere to go. It just goes to show that mental illness, feelings of no worth are in every part of the world. I hope they find some peace some day, and can move on and have healthy and happy lives. Respect to you Takashii and to the Toyoko Kids.
Crazy to think this happens anywhere. I'm in Quebec, Canada and my ex was also homeless at 15 and did self harm to soothe the stress, she had really rough teenage years.
My fiance and I stayed in kabukicho Tower a few weeks ago and were surprised to see all of the homeless right in front of the hotel. Many of them seemed very young. Even saw a fight break out right there in the central area where they were all gathered one night. Hope they are all able to find safe places to stay during the winter.
I really appreciate the cultural insight and awareness you spread - there's so much going on behind the scenes in every corner of the world, and learning about it is real eye-opening. I've worked as a first responder and in crime prevention for over a decade, and there are a lot of people struggling in every walk of life, in every society. Thank you for asking them questions, showing interest and care, listening to them and letting them be heard. We're all humans after all.
Thank you, Takashi, for the interviews. I watch you all the time. We ❤️ Japan, and realize that the same problems are everywhere in the world. However it’s a little more on the down low in Japan. We did see a few homeless in Shibuya, but it’s not like the homeless problem we have here in California. I hope and pray there could be better intervention programs that would help the youth of Japan to avoid that route.

The problem starts from broken families. I hope them a better future
Correct. The Elites destabilized the West systematically by tearing aparr the family unit. Now they tear apart the concept of gender. Next is age.
Japan will fall as a Nation and their lineage lost forever if they don't keep Marxist policies out of their land.
The fact they already have the usual drug dealers setting up shop there is telling.
Yes, I totally agree, if this problem pursues, I feel like there should be a shelter to take in kids under the under the age of 18 and give them appropriate counseling and part time jobs so that they can spring off something after they turn 18, kids need to be protected and guided atleast till they have adequate knowledge of the outside world, they need to understand that the choices that they will make now will impact how they lead a life in the future.
I too really hope and pray they all have a better future 🥺
@@HolySensei842
Shelters do exist in Japan, but these kids seem to refuse to go there. I've seen on the news before that the ward protected all the Totoko kids, but they ended up coming back there.

that day they died spiritually and their soul would die the eternal death in hell if they didnt repent and prayed to JESUS in faith, and their body would die,
but the second adam JESUS CHRIST who was without sin died for the sinners like a innocent lamb before his slaughters when that happened the world started shaking and was blacked out for 3 hours, the highest of 100 soldiers who stood by the event of crucifiying the SON of the MOST HIGH , the prince of PEACE,the LORD OF LORDs , he said TRULY this was GODS SON, so JESUS died but after 3 days GOD raised HIM from the death and made HIM destroy SIN DEATH and all those who were part of the eternal death; hell, satan and his angels , like moses and all the big prophets of GOD prophesied thousands of years before the biggest event of the world wich i tell you now in short
if you believe with all your heart in JESUS you can be born again of your spiritual death self to a SPIRITUAL ALIVE SON OR DAUGHTER OF GOD, trough believe in JESUS, being baptized and receiving the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, you will be sanctified and made holy by the blood of the lamb
JESUS CHRIST FULLFILLED 351 to 570 BIBLE PROPHECIES SPANNING ACCROSS THOUSANDS OF YEARS TROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT BEING FULLFILLED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
here are a few: The Messiah would be called a Nazarene (Isaiah 11:1; Matthew 2:23).
He would speak in parables (Psalm 78:2-4; Matthew 13:10-15).
He would be called a King (Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 27:37).
He would be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, and a potter’s field would be bought with the money (Zechariah 11:12-13; Luke 22:47-48; Matthew 27:9-10).
He would be silent when accused (Isaiah 53:7; Mark 15:4-5).
He would be killed with criminals (Isaiah 53:12; Matthew 27:38).
He would be a sacrifice for sin (Isaiah 53, Romans 5:6-8).
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Scholars have concluded that Jesus fulfilled anywhere from 300 to 570 Old Testament prophecies.
You need to believe JESUS and be born again trough water (baptism) and spirit( receive Gods spirit) to be saved
Westerners have this picture of Japan being a perfect society without social issues. Good to see videos like this that address reality.
I agree, this video is important for those who don't know the truth. Realistically speaking, every country has homeless people.
Even my home country Finland has them, when this country (even within) is viewed as sort of country where we take care of people.
Sometimes that just happens and people fall outside the society.
nah man walking around this area at 3 am feels safer than anywhere in the USA
WEEBSterners😂😂😂
As close to perfect as a society could get these days, unfortunately. We (the world) must preserve all the good aspects of Japanese culture.
I dont know anyone who thinks that. but japan is ideal in many ways other places are not, homelessness is a global issue.
You are really becoming an investigative journalist-- this is better than news coverage! I felt really sad for that girl. A lot of times self harm is due to overwhelming emotions and loneliness. The scars can make you feel embarrassed and even lonelier. I think her family is not providing a safe and loving home.
She said she went there to make friends because she couldn’t make friends at school. That’s heartbreaking. I know what it’s like to be lonely and feel like you don’t belong, but to put yourself on the streets just to try and connect with others? May she find the love she’s searching for in a safe place.
@@David_Hypnos damn, man! In my country, people would call her crazy for throwing herself at street, even judge her how much her selfishness isn't compared to those street kids who are poor or even mock her for not being able to socialize. That's why I never tell people my mental problem. I think my country just has less emotional intelligence when it comes to these things.
@@angelsub9184 unfortunately you have people like that everywhere. We need to spread more awareness on mental health on a global level.
@@David_Hypnos Ironic. Why people always sympathize with poverty, hunger etc while when it comes to mental health they don't sympathize at all? Also, which country are you from? I always assume people from US, or UK or any other European has emotional intelligence when it comes to mental health. Plus, it is really hard since Japanese people put strong dichotomy of success/failure. My country is different story. They put the most poor, most hungry people can have their feelings validated. If they catch somone above them feeling sad, they start to compare their problem and turn to be misery olympic.
Yes, would really love more of these topics, and not the standard, "How it is to date a Japanese guy" or "Do Japanese Want Foreign Friends"
As someone who's not blinded by the fantasy of Japan and still loves the country. My heart goes out to these people. To people suffering here in the US. I'm from NY. It's easy to get used to seeing shit like that and letting the humanity drain out of you. Seriously. It's a cold world out there and I'm rooting for these people.
You can judge a society by how many homelessness problems they have, and what system is in place to rehabilitate people to live a good life. I was born from homeless parents. My mother was homeless from 15 years old, and roamed the streets, much like these Japanese kids, having to do work like selling her body to get by. Thankfully the support system in my country is quite effective. She finished a bachelor degree with no debt, and now works as a government policy advisor on homelessness issues. I also was able to raise out of the poverty and depravation issues of my childhood, and I even traveled to Korea, Ghana and U.S. I have a good lifestyle and many friends and acquaintances who came from better starts in life who have high positions in finance, politics and academics. It's not impossible for me to become a director or full-time politician. Of course my mother and also myself as child of homeless mother worked very hard to escape that situation and rise to fortunate circumstances. I wish people across the world had similar opportunities regardless of their station in life.
@@0Demiyah0 Now that's plus ultra. Hell yes.
I actually always knew there was a downside I want to be able to help people like this somehow not just one but all of them
@@v-dubie690 I hope you succeed in that. Takes a brave heart to do it.
Good people in this corner of the internet. I love it.
I work with homeless teenagers in Australia and this shit is heartbreaking wherever it is. The neglect and abuse these kids go through is fucked. Thank you for bringing more light to this situation in Japan.
hey man, wanted to do that too, but you cant afford anything for that work for your own family atleast where iam from, so i gave up and hope i will have enough to adopt or help later
@@kanalisationerstellen I'm not sure where you live, but youth workers are paid pretty well in Australia so we're lucky with that. Hopefully you can find a way to make it work eventually, it's worth it.
@@dragonzord6615 thank you for your service
Crikey m8
"neglect" and "abuse" lol the wrist slitting girl is only there because she can't find friends in her school 🤦, she ran away from her home eventhough she prolly have normal parents
For teenagers, they really came across as self-aware and mature. I’m glad they realize the situation they’re in is dangerous, and are warning others about it. Gives me hope that they’ll move on from this life eventually. I just wish the Japanese government/society can do more to help them… Kids are precious, they deserve unconditional love and support.
You realize he was talking to one of the pimps right?
"I was making good money as a host but then I quit and moved here to this place where you can find teenage girls who sell their bodies" - he found a better way to make money.
I wonder what's the conversion rate of young kids/adults leaving this lifestyle . I was homeless for a bit when I turned 18 but I never used or abused drugs.
When you are put in a situation like that you don’t really have a choice but to be mature or get eaten alive more than whatever is already took a bite out of you.
They are 18 years old they should work, everyone else is working. Money doesn't come out of thin air
@@zabavnaya-xt8tb of course they are working.
I hope that the girl in white jacket knows that she deserves better and goes on to live a better and happy life!! I pray that things work out for all of them and that they can have happy lives. This is truly terrible. I hope more will be done to help them.
I used to be addicted to cold medicine, and I would wander the streets for hours. It's an enlightening but sad existence. Please tell these kids they're not alone. At least one Westerner feels their pain and wishes the best for them
I never tried it outside now that I think of it. we have no nightlife in Saudi Arabia nor any landscapes for contemplating, kek.
@@JohnDough-ve9uvsomeone from saudi arabia finally
@@yourfriendmouse9967 have you been looking?
What about that life is enlightening? Don't romanticize an objectively negative choice like that.
@@limitcanc3l Not OP but looking back, it made me think and reevaluate my life choices. I used to navigate life in autopilot mode if that makes sense. but using a psychedelic made me sit in my room by myself and just think for hours, which I never did before. you may view it as a negative experience but it was what saved me from a grim future and I think others can relate to that.
I always appreciate the balance of your interviews, Takashi san. You're making an effort to show all of the sides of Japan, not only the good ones as much as possible. With all seriousness, I hope that the girl who cut herself will get treatment for whatever mental health issue she's facing.
I agree that is good to acknowledge all the facets of Japan. It doesn’t make me love it less. I do hope that someone can help them face their issues, so they have a healthier, happier life than what they are currently experiencing. I know here, in America, there is homelessness, but idk how much of that would be people this young. Here we have shelters for women and children. It gets them off the street, but doesn’t ensure safety or total help with their issues.
@@elizabethhafferty1200 True that.
@@elizabethhafferty1200
I feel like the homeless in the U.S. have no other choice, while those on To-yoko seem to have a choice but dare to live there. The situation seems different from homelessness in the US.

Yeah, they simply like living in Toyoko so they continue to live there and I don't think many of them are serious about getting out of that life. I'm also against promoting these places on social media, because the Gen Z is flocking to Toyoko because they know and adore it on social media. Ironically, the more media attention Toyoko gets, the more the Toyoko population grows.
Was not expecting this channel to cover such a serious and underrepresented issue in Japan, and by doing so, it's really elevated the level of sincerity and impact this channel has in its commitment to showing the multiple facets and complexities of Japanese culture and society. Great work Takashi San!
It would be a good idea for them to publish a manga called tokyo kids, explaining their lifestyle and hardships. I would definitely support a manga like that but certainly not anime.
This kind of Mang/Anime will be banned directly. It will be categorized as "Spreading Negativity to Young Adults/Childre". I mean, this is how the sociey is. Everyone wished to see good stuffs and the business person whished to sell good price, and there goes the filtration going into every area of possibilities of businesses. @@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime
This guy is legit. You can see it in how he addresses these kids. Puts so called msm journalists to shame
1 in 100 people has schizophrenia. 3 in 100 people has substance abuse issues. 1 in 1000 people has brain damage issues, so we are expecting a perfect world?
What
I like that you're not afraid to talk about any topic, the good and the bad, no society is perfect but by addressing problems instead of hiding them we can start working on them. I also appreciated your sensitivity and the delicacy with which you treated the topic and interviewed everyone. You're a really cool, honest guy, keep up the good work!!
In all the interviews I've seen from Takashi he is never disrespectful towards anyone and yet he asks important questions
Truly an amazing man , thank you for uncovering this issue to foreigners

I have to say, I was homeless in America as a minor and this feels like a really different experience. They can get hotels? In America, you can't get hotels without an adult with an ID, so there was no hope for me to ever get off the street unless I was willing to go into a stranger's house, which obviously I wouldn't do. There were shelters, but you can only stay at a few of them for one night before they'll call the police, and some won't let you stay at all without calling the police, if you're a minor. The police come and drag you back to your parents, sometimes after roughing you up or intimidating you a bunch, yelling at you, so I avoided shelters at all costs. I was very surprised to see that the kids look relatively clean with clean clothes; with no shelters, no hotels, and no public bathrooms, it's very hard to get clean as a homeless minor in America. You'll go into a restaurant or library bathroom to try and wash up and they'll chase you out right away. Some won't even let you pee because they think you're going in there to do drugs. Not to say homeless kids in Japan have it better or anything, just that the difference was quite startling to me. Like the girl with the cell phone, I got the vibe she was homeless because her parents didn't care to put any effort into finding her. It made me really sad. When I was homeless, my parents were hunting for me and I was running, like a game of high stakes hide-and-seek. These kids, it feels more like society has cast them off. When I was homeless as a teen in America, it felt more like society was hunting me down, like I was an escaped animal. It's just different.
ETA: holy shit this blew up like no comment I've ever made has. Some really fascinating insights in the replies and only like a 30% ratio of racists, which on youtube is incredible. I should probably add, I was homeless in the early and mid 00s so I'm not really sure how much it's changed. I kind of imagine it would be worse now, but I've also heard they've been cleaning up the foster system since the 90s so who knows?
I think there are homeless minors similar to your situation in Japan but they wouldn’t appear on these videos. It’s just one visible homelessness in Tokyo.
it do be like dat man. rough all over
you're trying to compare USA to Japan, I mean...
Safety in Japan is WAAAAY different than in the US, it's not a matter of visibility, this is actually how it is.
@@sidenote1459exactly.
This was very informative, Takashii. Thank you for sharing this. I hope these kids get the care and help they deserve.
Drug addiction, it plagues every country. I hope these people get help especially the young ones
Me and my friends from Australia were walking around Kabukicho a while ago, we saw these kids and were wondering "wow these are some cool kids on the street, I wonder if they are a group or if there's a name for them?", none of us could've imagined they're actually homeless teens gathering together. Thank you so much for the insights through the interviews
they are cool kids, queer, punk, thoughtful all the things that a bigoted family or society hates. most homeless you will meet anywhere are some of the coolest people you will meet.
@@jesipohl6717 why'd u want a punk in your house?
@@overbored617because they’re your kids tf, what happened to unconditional love? At least until they can make a goddamn living, they are the parents responsibility as the people who brought them into this world, because they did not choose to be born, their parents did. No matter if they are punk or not.
@spook6394 Well, they can still choose not to be a punk, you know. Let's not put all the blame on the parents. The kids can also be patient till they are adults and then move out. We live in a society and child's first society is their family. So they kinda need to live by the set rules
I am a young adult myself and have been through my teen years not so long ago. I remember all the times I didn't agree with my parents, but I never made it an issue. We have a very loving and understanding relationship now, because both me and them chose to be patient with each other through those years. So the "punk" kids can be patient as well
@@blank_linethe fuck?
Punk is a political statement of anger against a system that keeps failing us. Kicking your kid out because they are punk is all kinds of fucked up. No way you can defend parents like that
Fact: Despite Japan's legal ban on prostitution, its industry surprisingly generates about 5.5 trillion yen annually. This is more than twice the revenue of the anime industry, which stands at 2.4 trillion yen.
Thats because sex industry finds loopholes in Japanese laws and work its way around it.
People enjoy having sex more than watching anime 😊😊😊😊😊
Wow that is crazy. I did not realise!

So many videos on TH-cam talk about zero homelessness in Japan … this is the first video I ever seen about city culture in Tokyo from an outside perspective… thank you for this video for westerners to be mindful of social conditions in Tokyo and in Japan, my heart goes out to everyone you interviewed
22 yo male with 2 bachelor degrees & yet, still live with my family
well, grateful 2 b me, ig 🤲🏻🤲🏻🙏🏻
I was homeless for 6 months when I was 23 but I was with family and we still had our car to live in and we got free showers at the local YMCAs, not to mention I was an adult at that time so I just had the kind of fortitude that comes with maturity. I cannot imagine being a teenager sleeping on the streets. Any society that allows this to happen has failed its youth.
Here in Australia, I was evicted at 13 and became homeless with my family for 4 months. It was interesting and I learnt a lot about life, but I wouldn't want to do it a second time. Very stressful and I always felt unsafe. As a teenager, you also run the risk of not going to school and being evicted from your parents which almost happened to me.
That's their choice tho. There are shelters and orphanages in Japan, but they refuse to go there. In fact, the ward cleaned up To-yoko before, but they ended up coming back there. And I have been to Kabukicho a few times and it was safe even late at night, so it would be a different story living on the streets in the US. And you know the girl wears VETEMENTS and they even have smart phones, so it's not as miserable as you might imagine.
no your parents failed you. society shouldn't have to provide for other people's children. don't have them if you can't afford them.
@@tsdfghjklbruh... They have to prostitute themselves to earn some cash to afford shared room and not freeze outside... And the earnings have to be split with their pimp daddy who's providing drugs so they can last longer and make more profit until mentally break down drives them to end their life.... Nothing is better in whatever way u look at it...
What do you expect to be done? They aren't actually homeless. They have families and homes to go back to. They just refuse. They're just rebellious kids that like hanging out in a specific place and doing rebellious kid stuff. This is normal everywhere, it's just a shock to Japan's "Ultra-Safe" image. That one girl complained about police only responding when something happens, but there's nothing illegal about hanging out in a public place.
If they truly have serious criminal issues at home with their parents that leave them in a bad situation, I can see this being something that could be brought up with police on a case by case basis and addressed appropriately, but that's most likely not the case for the majority. The people interviewed say as much.
They deserve a good home where they can feel safe and loved. Sadly it's not always the parents fault sometimes it can be the school like bullying for example, or the person just feels lonely.
Parents may not always understand what their kid is going through.
I think, the problem mostly is that some kids don't find normal friends during a younger age and then they become desperate and find terrible friends via e.g. the internet (or other means, this also happened before the internet).
But I wonder if "not finding friends at a young age" can be the kids' fault? Sounds more like a fault of the child's parents and/or the parents of the children living nearby (the potential friends) or just bad luck?
If you threw your child onto the streets then you failed as a parent.
Regardless of their age, boys act like p-mps. Not a surprise since this very area is handled by the yaks. Sad universal, timeless story.
@@JackHarker386 I doubt most of their parents threw them into the streets. usually they go volunteerily. As the one boy said, some middle schoolers even look up to them and think it's a cool thing to do.
most decent parents (i imagine most parents) would fully understand and help their kids. it's usually the kids who have an issue reaching out to their parents, so they try to find others around their same age.
@@rokko_hates_japan That's exactly what happens in Asian households particularly, you're not thrown out so much as you're cast out now as a former homeless person no child ever leaves a happy safe warm home willingly to suffer on the streets because it "looks cool" and the reason why Asian children often don't turn to their parents emotionally is because their needs are never met which is why mental health is so shamed and stigmatised in Japan because they consider it socially unacceptable to be visibly angry even.
It doesn't pay to blame children when it rests at the feet of the parents, you birthed the child, you failed to raise it and now its homeless because of your failure and the only reason you "doubt it" is because you're either ignorant or lucky enough to have proper good parents.
Great video, thank you for giving them a voice and platform to speak from. People never do that, and it is important to hear their stories. ❤
This was one of your better videos. Thank you for raising awareness in this sad and unfortunate situation and conducting your interviews with respect for those troubled individuals.
I hope they can find the help and support they need.
It seems they just need a community to fit in to, I just hope they can find more positive role models.
God this was heart breaking to watch. Thank you TAKASHii. As a father this breaks me.
True I mean even as a father you can provide shelter and food for your kids and they could still potentially run away. I think a good relationship between parent and child is needed to deter this type of behavior.
Props to Takashi always showing sides of Japan not normally known by foreigners!

satan didnt stop rebelling and started his war on GOD by telling the humans to also to rebel but very sneakily with alot of lies in it,
he started tempting humans to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil wich GOD warned them to not eat of, the day human eated thereof they would die GOD told them
, so satan said didnt god say you would die the day you eateth thereof? well i tell you if you eat thereof you will become like GOD thats why HE said that

I think it’s important you posted this video. I didn’t know about this so it’s good you’re shedding light on issues others aren’t willing to do
It breaks my heart to see all these poor young people runnning away or being abandoned by horrible and abusive families. I hope they get the help they need
Homelessness is truly a universal problem. I hope these people stay safe.
Yeah, homelessness is a worldwide problem, but at least these girls weren't homeless because of poverty.

@@ii4826they are homeless because of the huge level of sexual abuse of girls in Japan ….
Homelessness in Japan is so tame lol. A bunch of kids grouping together, sniffing paracetamol in the name of drugs, wearing branded clothes, able to afford to live in hotels in winter.
If that's what homelessness is I should move to Japan. Cuz homeless people in my country are treated like animals, get chased around, ask random strangers in streets for money, do real drugs, prostitution etc.
@@sailingadventurertrue, my country’s homelessness are not near japan's
I know this place from Yakuza! This is the plaza outside the SEGA arcade
You know well haha
@@takashiifromjapan We Yakuza players sure love our virtual tourism simulators lol
This is so sad thank you for showing us the reality I really hope there can be programs to help them 😭😭 all those teens :( they deserve so much better
My heart hurts so much rn….. they deserve a normal childhood and to feel loved and have a safe place to stay. It’s okay to make mistakes in life, there should be ways for them to go back.
💯
Recently discovered this channel and I really admire how Takashi approaches all types of different people and topics with kindness and curiosity
When she said she cuts her arms, tears fell down my eyes. It breaks my heart knowing that no one is there for this young lady. I wish I could hug her and let her know everything is going to be okay. 😢 She said she cannot make friends in school… that’s so disheartening 😢
My heart breaks for the children and the difficulties they are facing. I know that in Japan it can be challenging to receive mental health support. I hope that all the children can get the help they need to move forward in the right direction. ❤

what do you mean by "it can be challenging to receive mental health support"? In Japan, anyone can go to the hospital and be treated for almost free, and there are shelters to protect the children. You seem to think that the Japanese government is doing nothing, but the police took them in before but they all ended up back on Toyoko, which means they don't want any protection. They live the way they want to so I don't think we have anything to worry about.
@@AIIIAKS-vn4co they can get particular kinds of help, but mental health counseling is still stigmatized in Asian countries (in a lot of countries actually)
@@AIIIAKS-vn4co I’m sorry you feel that way! I wouldn’t have said that coming from personal experience. My friend lived there, and it was challenging for her to get the help she needed in the mental health space. I wish you the best!
it's nice to hear a perspective from teenagers and not adults with skewed ideas and disrespectful people. really eye-opening and sometimes relatable. i hope they can find a better life, i really do.
I wish I could help these kids. Every child deserves a loving home and a soft bed.
Just hearing that girl talk about her issues is really heartbreaking

16 and having to sell your body in order to support your boyfriend is just so sad.. 😢
Even sadder that grown men are seeking these girls out instead of actually helping them
crazy that they don't do anything about it, because both the prostitution and having relations with anyone under 18 is illegal in tokyo, and frowned upon too. you'd think at least normal citizens would get involved idk
That’s depressing that the boyfriend expects the girls to earn them money.
Its called pimping which is low class but pimping children is beyond disgusting
Believe me, outside Japan this is all too common and unrelenting.
you’re truly an amazing interviewer and i’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and the content and interviewing never fails to impress!
Thanks for making this video. I think it's one of the few that get us viewers a couple levels further into your home's culture while a lot more are only focused on tourism.
This is a powerful piece, heartbreaking. I really feel for these kids. Thank you for highlighting what some of these kids are going through.
Every society has problems, I’m so glad you put a light on this situation and these kids. Honestly it makes me feel better that you did this, now I feel like it can be easier to understand each other without this mysticism about one another.
Appreciated that you care to highlight this issue.
poor young people 💔🥺 ありがとう thank you for the video takashi 🫶🏼
i hope everyone here gets the help they personally need but especially the girl in the white coat. shes so young and has so much life to live still. if she somehow manages to see this video and reads the comments just know you are deserving of love and feeling safe no matter where you are!
this video was heartbreaking to watch, i think us westerners really romanticize the lifestyle and and vibe of Japan but your videos really show every single side of the country and i cant show my appreciation enough Takashi!
as some other people have suggested, id love to see interviews from people working in host clubs, that'd be a super interesting topic to cover.
I don't know much about the culture in japan (I'm actually learning), but i think one of the issue just like in other big cities and in other countries who are modernized is lack of boundaries, care and empathy for the average people, drugs and prostitution laws. But leaving children on the streets without help is something that shouldn't be tolerated.
Another issue here in Japan is that children are being heavily sexualized.
I‘ve always found the whole loli culture problematic but since I‘ve moved to Tokyo, I‘ve noticed so much more shit.
School uniforms with extremely short skirts and old(er) people turning their heads when a group of schoolgirls walks by them just to name a few.
I also heard stories from Japanese friends about it being quite common for teachers to date/abuse students which is an absolute taboo.
Absolutely disgusting.
@@YannMar
> it being quite common for teachers to date/abuse students
No it's not common. If you do that in Japan today, you'll get arrested. Sounds like your friend exaggerates stuff.
@@tsdfghjkl Then why is there so much discourse among the Japanese regarding this issue? Just look at one of "Atarashii Gakko"`s most famous songs/music videos. It heavily criticizes that they all know people who have been sexually abused by their teachers and that it is common and publicly known but everyone looks the other way
@@tsdfghjkl are you saying everyone obeys the law
@@YannMarThat's because Japan demonstrates how men vs women attraction works and when men age they become more attracted to something called neo natal features or the more softer women features whereas women when they get older prefer more rugged men but of course of anyone reading this does not mean you're free to perve over whatever your gender of choice is especially if they're underage however if your gender of interest is over age 18 and you're at least under 35 and you're engaging in mutually agreed acts then you're okay.
Cheers.
Thank you for sharing! Always love your content and the awareness...
That was a great video. Very informative! What a sad situation 😢
You're so wholesome and such a great interviewer, making the interviewee as comfortable as they could be. What a great work you do, thank you for it!
Thanks for watching!
If you’re coming to Japan, please enjoy the night life in Kabukicho, Shinjuku!
But please be respectful if you see Toyoko kids there!
1st
I have heard some small places have tried to address the issue as far as helping them, but it's very small in comparison to the problem.

Just so you know, this technique of pixelation does not guarantee the anonymity of the person. People can use AI to undo this.
あなたの動画が大好きです！ありがとう！
these "homeless" kids sure are dressed pretty nice lol, and the ones he interviewed even admitted to having homes and families to go back to.....i guess prosperous times really do make weak people
You know I'm interested in Japan, I don't want to see this problem, but I think Japan will be a perfect country. Good and the rest, but apparently they lie to us. They also have problems that they ignore and they say. Good, this is not good. They should look at the good culture. their teachings and culture are very similar to Islam but not as beautiful as Islam,aaa its hard to libing in japan if they not solve this problem
This was super interesting, thank you for giving insights!
Thanks for sharing. I hope these kids can get the help they need.
I've been to Kabukicho so many times but never realized those kids were homeless, this is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this issue with us.
I have been their twice and I strongly agree with you.
I like this kind of video idea man, the covering on the street interviews of current day problems in Japan, coverage of whatever's going on. 😊
This interview is real. No filters.. No script. LoL

Great, great interview! Thanks
Wow this was so informative and mad me a little sad but I appreciate you talking about this issue
I hope the girl in the white coat gets the support she needs. Everybody is entitled to non negotiable love, safety and care. I've lived in Japan for a few years, its not a perfect place. People have suffered so much.
No, no, and no.
My heart goes out to these young people. ❤ I wish there was a way to help them get off the streets and know that they’re not alone. It’s hard sometimes, especially for teenagers, who either have a hard time at school or at home.
Love the range and realness. Thank you 🙏🏾 Takashi-san
Thank you for shining a light on this part of Japan - would respectfully keep moving if I came across a kid in this situation. My heart hurts because it seems they are living in a vicious cycle with no seeming end. 😢
Thank you Takashii for sharing with us. Didn’t know that this place existed in Japan. Feel sorry and sad for all these kids. Maybe one day I might go visit this place. Take care! Cheers from HK
You are a good interviewer and are creating such a valuable body of social commentary. Well done.
thank you for sharing this. i hope for the best they will get back on their feet and live a long life
I would love if you made this topic a series. As someone who lives in Japan I am very interested in what they think needs to change in society and the best ways to help them! i.e. free mental health counseling (since ik it’s no covered by insurance at all here), housing, governmental policies, schooling, etc.
I've always said that I appreciate the wide variety of perspective that your interviews offer... From talks to singles about dating in Japan, to how married couples live in cities, to life in the more rural areas. This was another exceptional example of that.
Thanks for sharing and the work that goes into putting this together. ✌️💙
That was very interesting! Would you consider making another video just interviewing people who work in host clubs? We don't have them outside of Japan, so how that works is very interesting to me.
Also interested
isnt that look like prostitute but with some fanservice include in ?
Man, this was the most in depth reporting I have seen you do yet! You are getting into some deep and interesting stuff but be careful and stay safe. 💯
Love your work. This was the most interesting yet.
This was a great piece Takashi San ! Great questions with surprising answers , that may seem shocking to us but normal for these kids living like this . Seems the girl in the hoodie and black mask had a black eye . I felt bad for the girl that cut herself she is definitely dealing with some dark feelings of self worth.😢 Maybe a few more of these can bring some attention that might steer these kids to getting help..at the end of the day it always boils down to a money thing, as far as help is concerned. Keep up the good work brother .💪🏼
Love your stuff Takashii! I just started doing similar interview content, but in Florida. I love talking to people, even though I am very shy and introverted. You have inspired me to keep pushing forward. Thank you!
Thanks for bringing this up
This is one of things in Japan I always keep in the back of my mind,knowing that there are children there without homes trying to figure out society in a country where the work system is terrible my heart to them ❤ if I had the money I’d literally help them
I have just been to Tokyo for 1 week and avoided this area because I have a 12 year old but it's very sad to hear what goes on with these kids and I hope they can see there's a brighter future for them even if they're outcasts.. it's not easy being a teenager where ever you are from.
im glad u r bold enough to focus on being a voice for this group otherwise the world would not know
Thank you for this video. It is a very important topic that anyone planning to visit Tokyo should be aware of and understand the struggle and sensitivity of these kids.
Hearing this, made me very sad😢😢, seeing teenage children who should be at school, cheerful and playing with their friends and having a normal life. I hope there is a community or government with the burden to guide them back. because they are the future of their country🫶❤. Thank you to the host who shared the story in this video. I also pray for these teenage children❤❤ japan
Breaks my heart to see this happen. I can't believe these teenagers have to deal with such a toxic industry as well as being forced to live on the street or in hotels. They should be furthering their education or getting their first real job as they enter the best years of their lives, they all deserve the chance.
@@homie3461 idk, saying you cut yourself, even if it's not true, is a cry for help. There must be something inherently wrong with people who lie about harming themselves for attention or whatever. I just view this entire situation as a massive failure from the side of the Japanese society as a whole.

You need to believe JESUS and be born again trough water (baptism) and spirit( receive Gods spirit) to be saved ...
@@homie3461How?
This is so heartbreaking :(
Thank you for showing us this side of Japan that, honestly, I haven't heard of before and didn't even thought it could exist in Japan.
This was a very interesting set of interviews. Thanks Takashii
Thank you very much 🙇🏻♀️ Will take note when going to Tokyo.
Takashi always nailed it✨❤ Advance merry Christmas brother 🎄🎅🤗
Takashii, you have improved a lot in your nterviews, you got much touch with the people now, they feel related to you... keep the good job!
hello fellow humans, i very much like to welcome you to this website and the message of JESUS for the world!, the first human GOD created adam was a perfect creation made in GODS image , god LOVED HIS creation and saw it was GOOD, like GOD is GOOD, so that was that
, but a high angel of GOD rebelled against GOD and was thrown out of heaven,
satan didnt stop rebelling and started his war on GOD by telling the humans to also to rebel but very sneakily with alot of lies in it,
he started tempting humans to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil wich GOD warned them to not eat of, the day human eated thereof they would die GOD told them
, so satan said didnt god say you would die the day you eateth thereof? well i tell you if you eat thereof you will become like GOD thats why HE said that
, so eve adams wife believed it and did it, also adam was taken in this complot and boom they were cursed with death and realized they were naked,
that day they died spiritually and their soul would die the eternal death in hell if they didnt repent and prayed to JESUS in faith, and their body would die,
but the second adam JESUS CHRIST who was without sin died for the sinners like a innocent lamb before his slaughters when that happened the world started shaking and was blacked out for 3 hours, the highest of 100 soldiers who stood by the event of crucifiying the SON of the MOST HIGH , the prince of PEACE,the LORD OF LORDs , he said TRULY this was GODS SON, so JESUS died but after 3 days GOD raised HIM from the death and made HIM destroy SIN DEATH and all those who were part of the eternal death; hell, satan and his angels , like moses and all the big prophets of GOD prophesied thousands of years before the biggest event of the world wich i tell you now in short
if you believe with all your heart in JESUS you can be born again of your spiritual death self to a SPIRITUAL ALIVE SON OR DAUGHTER OF GOD, trough believe in JESUS, being baptized and receiving the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, you will be sanctified and made holy by the blood of the lamb
JESUS CHRIST FULLFILLED 351 to 570 BIBLE PROPHECIES SPANNING ACCROSS THOUSANDS OF YEARS TROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT BEING FULLFILLED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
here are a few: The Messiah would be called a Nazarene (Isaiah 11:1; Matthew 2:23).
He would speak in parables (Psalm 78:2-4; Matthew 13:10-15).
He would be called a King (Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 27:37).
He would be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, and a potter’s field would be bought with the money (Zechariah 11:12-13; Luke 22:47-48; Matthew 27:9-10).
He would be silent when accused (Isaiah 53:7; Mark 15:4-5).
He would be killed with criminals (Isaiah 53:12; Matthew 27:38).
He would be a sacrifice for sin (Isaiah 53, Romans 5:6-8).
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Scholars have concluded that Jesus fulfilled anywhere from 300 to 570 Old Testament prophecies.

Thank you for covering this topic! A lot of my American friends romanticize Japan and think that it doesn't have a homeless population because it's less visible than in America. I'd love to see more videos on homelessness in Japan because it seems like a complex issue.
Very True!
Hi😏
This breaks my heart. I’d love to work and help them
You the man Takashii keep up the hard work 🙏
This is a really important video. Thank you so much creating this content. I hope bringing these darker aspects of Japan society into the light the government will put more effort into giving these lost children the help they need. With Japan's population declining so fast I really thought more would be done to protect them.
Thank you for this great interview, showing the problems occurring there. You’re really courageous to take the step and telling the truth of the dark sides in this district.
Did not know this! It’s very eye opening 🙌
This makes me sad to see there are teenagers hurting and feel or often literally have nowhere to go. It just goes to show that mental illness, feelings of no worth are in every part of the world. I hope they find some peace some day, and can move on and have healthy and happy lives. Respect to you Takashii and to the Toyoko Kids.
Your thoughtfulness as an interviewer is remarkable. Thank you. Because of you, many get a glimpse of realities.
I agee with this so much. The mannerism is pristine.
Thank you for the clarity!
Crazy to think this happens anywhere. I'm in Quebec, Canada and my ex was also homeless at 15 and did self harm to soothe the stress, she had really rough teenage years.
My fiance and I stayed in kabukicho Tower a few weeks ago and were surprised to see all of the homeless right in front of the hotel. Many of them seemed very young. Even saw a fight break out right there in the central area where they were all gathered one night. Hope they are all able to find safe places to stay during the winter.
Great video !!!!!!! So important to show this
This problem is everywhere around the world
Takashii! Dope channel. Your country is so vast. Everything from culture, fashion, art. You will forever have *content* 360 degrees of options to vid
I really appreciate the cultural insight and awareness you spread - there's so much going on behind the scenes in every corner of the world, and learning about it is real eye-opening. I've worked as a first responder and in crime prevention for over a decade, and there are a lot of people struggling in every walk of life, in every society.
Thank you for asking them questions, showing interest and care, listening to them and letting them be heard. We're all humans after all.
Well Said!
Thank you, Takashi, for the interviews. I watch you all the time. We ❤️ Japan, and realize that the same problems are everywhere in the world. However it’s a little more on the down low in Japan. We did see a few homeless in Shibuya, but it’s not like the homeless problem we have here in California. I hope and pray there could be better intervention programs that would help the youth of Japan to avoid that route.
I hope they all stay safe and get the help that they need.
I appreciate the balance of your interview.
