I think you guys found your niche by covering various Asian murders and cases. True crime is saturated for American and even European cases, so it's great to have a channel like you guys for Asian cases that I've never heard of.
Thank you for saying so! And here we thought we were walking the line of doing too many. I agree, American/European cases do tend to be oversaturated, and while we do requests of more popular cases if requested enough, I very much prefer doing cases that never got the attention they deserved. I really enjoy these Asian cases, but I can't help but feel like we're underqualified to be exclusively an Asian true crime channel without at least living in those areas and having first hand experience with society and the people there. Either way, there's going to be plenty more Asian cases in the future. There are a couple in mind I'm already preparing for. Appreciate the comment - Drewby
@@TheMiseryMachine thanks for getting back Drewby. Please don't consider yourselves under qualified based on cultural differences. I've heard some great pods like Last Podcast on the Left discuss German, Australian, and various other European killers even without living there. Your research and script writing will take your further than living somewhere.
Besides, you both do great by disclaiming lack of cultural understanding. I've never once found myself thinking "these people don't know what they're talking about because they haven't lived in Thailand".
I also love that you guys take the extra step of using Google translate on native articles. Most American pods are lazy about that and only use sources that were formally translated and that's frustratingly limited.
Keep doing what you're doing. I'll find you on patron :)
The last line of the diary is tad bit blurry. I do think it say "koroshitaikuraisuki" but the "ro" looks like "u" or "ra" so I can't be sure 🙁 if it says what I thought it is, it literally translates as "until i want to kill u, kind of "like/love".
check dire trip out they focus on these types of cases and other asian ones too! As well as Kyoto Robato
The fan art. 😩 My best friend was murdered by a stalker, I can't imagine how upsetting seeing fan art of her killer would be. Just repulsive. The idea of the host/hostess clubs is intriguing. I've worked in topless bars, it's more about that charm than about the body if you want to be successful.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your best friend. You have my deepest condolences.
Your show never fails to be well-researched and presented with compassion. Well done!
I visited her Instagram page and people in the comments are gross. They are calling her a queen and don’t get me started on the fanart.
I can't imagine how much worse this will get when she's out of prison. What is wrong with people??
WOW!! What a confusing episode! I had to watch it twice to really understand it. Thank you for always painting a good background stories and the places where things take place.
For real - we were not done notes until Friday afternoon because the whole thing was so confusing, and so many news sources contradicted one another. Even while recording we found more, had to stop again - research, and then edit. It was wild ♡
I just love how you all give best information about the story and the research you all give to you all story and enjoy watching you all keep doing a good job.
Thank you, Ida! ♡
Best coverage of this case that I have seen.
Thanks, Sally! Happy Monday!
I remember when this was on tv. But it was soooo quickly brushed under the rug, I think it was only a hot topic on media for about 2 days before disappearing into obscurity. It was really weird considering how graphic and unusual (female attacking male) the case was. On Japanese tv they did say they were bf/gf that had started as a sugar momma/sugar baby relationship.
I live about 15 mins from Shinjuku so despite the news not talking about it (probably because all eyes were on the govt at that time due to final designs/organizations for the Olympics games), it was not the case for regular peeps eating at the restaurants and cafes at hangouts downtown lol
I do remember reading on Japanese twitter that the man didn't want to press charges and were in talks to get back together after her sentencing.
Quick note: As for Kabuki-cho, yes it is absolutely the red-light district. It's not safe in the wee hours but there's worse areas in Tokyo IMHO and for Japan I'd venture to say Nishinari in Osaka is worse. Kabuki-cho is controlled by the yakuza and many of the clubs/brothels/soaplands/massage parlors are actually *not* opened to foreigners/tourists. Japanese only or invite-only. Many of the crimes that happen are behind closed doors so you wouldn't see it as a visitor. There's a grossly naive misconception that Japan is crime-free-- true it is not the same page as other 1st world countries BUT it is a place people live. And people are people no matter nationality. Of course stuff goes down! But it is kept behind the curtain, under reported (or not at all) or ignored all together in hopes to keep the image squeaky clean for the general populace.
I seriously love that you can provide us with this insight ♡ Thank you so much!
@@TheMiseryMachine sorry for my comments always being so long lol😅 but it’s testament of how much I enjoy your channel and want to help if I am able to (I rarely comment on YT in general ) I really love all your videos! You two really put alot of research, time, heart, perspective, and some much needed personality and lighthearted humor to break up the dark content. 👏Happy to see when a new upload drops! 💕
We love the long comments! Getting perspective from someone who has had first-hand experience is invaluable so please feel free to type as much as you want, it's always great to learn more about Japan! Thank you for the very kind words! ❤️❤️❤️
Two words..JODI ARIS
3 years . . .3 YEARS?!?!?! . . . oh hell no
You don’t think you can learn in 3 years?
Quite honestly I've never heard of this case before but this is absolutely bizarre!! People are insane!! WOW!! I swear I just don't understand why people can't be normal?! Though I do gotta say you all have some awesome cases!! Also love you all bunches and bunches....
We love yooooou!!! 💘
@@TheMiseryMachine 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm not normal by any means lol but I'm also not a lunatic who thinks murderers are justified because they are "too beautiful." That's just nuts lol
Great video as always. Love listening each week to you guys. This was a very strange and creepy case.
Thank you Nicole!
People DON'T own people regardless of how much they pay to think they do.
On the notebook at 11:51 most of what she wrote down was just すき(quite badly I may add) it's pronounced "s'ki"
It means like basically.
Ex:りんごすきです ('someone/something' likes apples.)
I don't understand your translation 🤣 but appreciate your comment
When I was a hostess we would order a “tropical lady” which was just juice lol the first few drinks we’d get normal drinks to loosen up but then we would just get juice lol
When I studied abroad in Japan, we walked into a hostess club without realizing it was a hostess club. We had one beer, exchanged some confused looks, and were like, "let's go." We weren't rude to the girls or anything but it was just really weird and awkward.
I sort of want to go and see what it's all about - a hostess club, not host ♡ Yergy
@@TheMiseryMachine I'm sure there are some nice, classy ones if you know what you're getting yourself into, but the one we went into was very...strip clubby (to put it mildly).
@@planetschlock I want to go to one where people are just having fun and it's not strippery. Maybe I'll just go to a cat cafe instead 🐈⬛🐈
@@TheMiseryMachine Finding one that is foreigner friendly can actually be a bit tricky.
There are like three "types" of host bars/clubs. One is a straight up hostess club. Really high-end, incredibly expensive and the girls are like trained conversationalists. These are the ones in and near the Ginza area. They're quite lavish.
Then there are the Kybakura's that are in Shinjuku ..these are toned down, Less classy but i guess a bit more of "you can pay to bring her back to a hotel" type vibe. They're darker and kind of stand-off-ish IMO.
You should check out a "snack bar". These are no touching or sexy stuff, just pay for a 30 minute or 1 hours all you can drink combo and then you can chitchat with the girls. Bar - seating type set-up.
There's one in Shibuya that are really friendly to foreigners (guys and girls), called 10SION. Just google map 10SION Shibuya and it'll pop up. It looks like a little hole-in-the-wall type bar a floor or two up above the noise of shibuya but people there are super friendly. It'll give you a fun insight into the hostess type culture that is hard to get unless you're super rich or a celebrity.
I Host-bars, Snack Bars and Kybakura's are all TYPES of hostbars and there is a lot of grey-zone between them.
Also, i'm not sure where you guys live but there are a few legit japanese owned hostess bars (similar to shinjuku's Kybakura's) in North America.
They usually advertise as a karaoke place but to customers "in-the-know) they include a hostess girl or two to cuddle up with you while you sing away, pour your drinks, compliment you and light your cigaretts. The only cities that i know for a fact to have them are LA, Vancouver, Toronto, NYC and Hawaii.
@@rjf7023 we live in Maine, but this snack bar thing seems more fun. Just hanging out with good vibes and karaoke 🎤
a girl in my middle school was caught with a “death note” with other students names in it and she got expelled 😭 i felt bad for her
Wow, like c'mon! That is expressing her feelings in private channeled through the deathnote. If anything, they should've just suggested counseling or tried to get to the bottom of her problems. I went to a hick school and was bullied and unwelcome, as well as my siblings. When we retaliated the staff and principal scolded us for not liking their school. They acted as protective of their school spirit as the students. The school was an abusive dump in the middle of nowhere.
@@angelaramirez4144 yeah she was bullied a lot before the situation happened, the school was terrible.
Well guys, I had seen that purple haired pic of that girl all over but had no idea what it was about. I hadn’t clicked any til I seen you guys because I knew y’all would explain it from beginning to end & I wouldn’t be lost somewhere in the middle. Thank you guys!
Thank you! Sometimes I wonder if we explain too much, but you saying this makes me feel a lot better about it ❤️ - Drewby
@@TheMiseryMachine Drewby, I’m just country & late on this counter-culture stuff. You guys cleared it up for me & made it make sense. I really appreciate it! You guys are doing a great job & it’s showing in your subs. Congrats!🎊
Purple hair? Like Yuri from Doki Doki Literature Club? She is a fictional yandere
Great show an obsession that turned gruesome. Glad he's okay but she should have got a longer sentience. 💚☘️🇮🇪
100% I hope you are safe and well - I read there was unrest recently? :(
Quite a depressing amount of times in Japan that criminals seem to get off way too lightly, some of them a great deal more horrible than Yuka.
Question:
Has she been released yet???
If so, can we trust her being a civilized, humane, conscience, and sane person???
She has now and occasionally streams.
As to whether we can trust her to be such, well, from what I've seen she doesn't seem distressed by what she did but she doesn't seem proud of it either. Mostly she seems like she's just trying not to think of it and to move past it. The one time I noticed her mention it she said (assuming TH-cam's auto-translate was correct) that she's not trying to get anyone to forgive her because she considers what she did unforgivable. I haven't noticed her say anything that sounds delusional and her onscreen behavior seems friendly enough, though it's hard to say how much that means.
As was the case in the aftermath of her trying to kill Luna, she's got a lot of people simping for her in the comments. Fortunately, since her release most of them don't reference that and the ones that do seem either critical or satirical, but I do get the feeling a lot of the people fawning over her physical attractiveness and general nerdy hobbies became aware of her BECAUSE of her crime. The most alarming thing that's happened is someone made a comment thanking her for "striking a blow against the patriarchy" or something like that, which is altogether moronic, and she liked that comment. According to some, she has also liked other comments that make her seem remorseless but I haven't seen that. (And I'm sure not in the mood to dive down a rabbit hole of cringey comments to look for it!)
Then again, maybe these simps are the closest she has to friends as it's quite likely a lot of sane people want nothing to do with her, so maybe she thinks any potential friends she can get are gift horse's she can't afford to look in the mouth. I only hope that mental health workers are also getting involved to watch for any alarming behavior and actually encouraging her to be her best self and not her worst.
50,000,000 yen is $346,256.79 in American money
Great video. This is a truly creepy case.
Super creepy! Thanks, Lacey! 🤍
@@TheMiseryMachine you're welcome
I love this channel, and this was a great video. I had never heard of this case before.
So I found you guys like a month ago and I'm over joyed with your content. I've told everyone about you guys. I look forward to bedtime now because this is my time with you guys. I listen for an hour or so to wind down. Absolutely great job on this one. Keep up the good work.🥰
I'm new to this channel so far so good 👍 I love the vide now
Another great case! 👍
Thanks Amir! 💜
Yuka was (still is?) dangerously psychotic. I agree that what she *caused* was disgusting, but *why* she did it clearly was due to her disturbingly deranged mind. Mental illness is a very real thing. Confusing it with moral turpitude isn't right. By no means do I condone what she did, which was horrible. But to regard her as some sort of moral degenerate misses the fact that she was obviously deeply disturbed and should have been getting therapy from a trained mental health professional. As for punishment, either confining her in a mental hospital until (if ever) she is truly cured or in the psychiatric ward of a prison, ditto, would be appropriate. I fell far sorrier for the victim than for Yuka, but Yuka really wasn't in her right mind when she did what she did. Earlier generations might have felt she was possessed by demons, you know,
I get the creepy feeling that these host and hostess services attract a lot of clients who aren't mentally well.
I realize this is an older video....but I am so confused. I do know that mental health is frowned upon in a lot of Asian Countries. How could anyone support hurting another?
Poor lad, must hv been trrified as soon as he was stuck in her home after she basicly bought him in ber eyes she then owened him, NIGHTMARE, SOOO GLAD HES NOW OK N ALIVE. SHES MESSED UP MONSTER N DESERVES TO BE LOCKED AWAY FOR THE3 PUBLICS SAFTY, SHE IS DERANGED.
Thanks for being the only one not feeling sorry for that lunatic just because she's female.
Such an interesting one. Thanks guys
If you ever need translation help- I am not a native speaker, but I did begin learning Japanese at quite a young age (I'm 30 now) due to its huge/majority usage in several areas of Hawaii (my dad worked there, so it's like a second home.) My partner also speaks. Both of us are quite familiar with many areas of Japanese culture, both in Japan itself and elements of it found elsewhere. Bonus note: My partner is a native Korean speaker, and I have been working on learning this language as well if you ever need help there!
PS: The letter read at the end, where she keeps repeating "I'm sorry"- that's mostly google translate being weird because of grammar. Certain phrases like "please", "thank you", "I'm sorry" are *usually* placed at the end of the sentence. English is a Subject-Verb-Object structure, Japanese is Subject-Object-Verb. This makes direct translations really clumsy unless you understand how to identify the role each word/phrase plays in the sentence of Japanese, and then rearrange them into a sensical sentence in English, and vice versa. Anyways, as I was saying in this case of things like apologies, the sentence structure in languages like Korean and Japanese usually preface the sentence with the "supporting" information. As in, you lay out all the things you did wrong and then say "I'm sorry" at the end. Normally we'd reverse that order in English. Same for requests (make the whole request, then add please onto the end), etc. Hope that helps, and thank you for all the work you put into your videos and your passion for making the world a better place 💕
So, yandere... From infatuation to "BUNNY'S GONE!"?
Have you thought of doing anything on David Carradine the actor was found dead in a hotel in Bangkok
This is an absolutely fabulous idea! I loved his work in Kung Fu as a kid and the Kill Bill series ♡
I love both of your outfits you both look amazing
She’s back from prison…
She wouldn't be considered a Yandere for attacking the very person she loved for i was curious cause there is actually multiple terms such as Tsundere plus others that tend to get mashed together into what a Yandere is but a Yandere is someone who is highly obsessed & love struck that will attack, harm or even kill anyone either it be other males or other females that dare get too close or show too much interest in the person the Yandere loves. I learned this by literally googling this information you guys give reading MULTIPLE websites & found this information plus it would give examples of anime that is Yandere themed of which every single 1 involves the Yandere attacking others not their own love interest btw.
i hope you too are having a most warm and safe holiday monday
I hope you are too, Angelina! ❤
I understand he didnt have a grudge..but she shoulda served minimum 10 years...
Darling In The Franxx is one of my favourite animes! I can verify that Zero Two isn't a yandere lol. She's just a bit strange.
She was a sugar momma that’s wild
Catching up on an older podcast. Heard about this on another youtube channel😌. What a very disturbed and bizarre case- this chick 😳😑😒 is not living in reality, but her own 😬😨. I hope she's institutionalized! That Yandere culture could be anywhere- there are many crazy women, no matter their ethnicity, out there, doing crazy shit everyday, 😳😫! It's a miracle he survived! Thanks for the story Misery.
I can say I have empathy for both of them. I feel bad for Phoenix in the sense he was unaware of who he was serving. Yuka if she had to have sex with someone to earn money I feel horrible. I guess being an adult it's her choice but, I imagine she felt disgusted with the person/persons she slept with, if it's true. She's the first to be called a yandere but, it's not the first case some has killed for love/obsession. Have you heard of the ID show obsession dark desires? People kill for the sake of love I guess. Thank you both though for driving deeper into the story.
"attempted murder can be understood because it's for love"
@@TrueAfricanHero that's not what they've said, you just look stupid
You cray-cray 🤔🙄🤯
How many cats has cat mom yergy got?xx
3, but I wish I had a 4th orange boy.

I love the 🐈⬛ Cafe’ idea or even if it’s 🐕that’s a wonderful way to deal with all of the homeless 🐈 & 🐩!! Give them a job so-to speak.. and possible adoption is a nice twist too!
I call it kabukicho (American pronunciation) bc of Jet Grind Radio loll
One of my favorite game series of all time!! Goddamn, I remember playing Future as a kid and wanting so bad to live that life.
@@TheMiseryMachine omg me too hahah I still have it on my dreamcast. That game needs a reboot
Zero Two isn't a yandere or a MPDG. Basically, she doesn't conform to gender roles and it makes her a baddie.
Anyway, she probably identified with the yandere characters bc she knows she's intense like that.
she most definitely is a manic pixie. shes a perfect example of one..
I never really considered Toga from MHA as a yandere, just kinda a weirdo. It's really strange how people take certain media and just run all the way left with it.
Yandere dev created her
I don’t think Pokémon cards should be banned but it is definitely gambling lol
Please help with info on Lisa Steinberg. Everything on TH-cam is old. Her adoptive father is out and he beat her to death. She has slipped threw the cracks.
It was rumored she’s out of jail now how do you think on that
Oh wow! I couldn't find anything about this. Do you have any links? If so please share.
If true, I personally feel like justice wasn't served and she effectively got a slap on the wrist - Drewby
@@TheMiseryMachine I’ll keep looking for links and updates if I found one I’ll do so hopefully this isn’t true
@@bloodyvillain8613 But wait didn't the fans bailed her out?
@@TheMiseryMachine But wait didn't the fans bailed her out? that's what i keep hearing from people from comments in other videos.
@@deseanjames3966 they didn't earn enough funds if I'm not mistaken, and the GFM was shut down.
This is insane
Way to much for me! I tried to finish ! Sorry I can't get out fast enough!🤔✌️
Your older stuff isn't captioned and it makes it kind of hard to watch the older videos, as a hearing impaired person.
I honestly feel bad for both of them they never deserve it at all
It's a really unfortunate situation all around. I think they were both pretty toxic individuals. Is stabbing ok? No. But they're both pieces of work for sure.
@@TheMiseryMachine I agree so much!
Hey
You guys should do one about that girl they found dead in the water tower
She clearly had some sort of emptiness or some mental Illness maybe delusion and she really thought she could not be happy without him. I kinda feel sorry for both of them tbh. I’m not very versed in the themes but a certain darkness/energy kinda seemed like it would be present in the very places they first met. Maybe she saw him as everything she wanted to be and couldn’t.
So Luna and yuka had sex and she stab him...awesome (I ment you guys are awesome) it looked like I’m watching the news all over again
i like the unintentional wow shilling
You look so cute, Yergy! 💜
It's utterly disgusting that people are blaming anime and cartoons for the sick actions of an obsessive brat who needed locked up to begin with.🙄
Agreed!
And it sickens me that people feel sorry for that c word. Be female and pretty and everyone is okay with every effed up thing you do. 🤮
Quick and dirty 😉
UWU(without jokes i am soory for the boy and her even if she almost kill him maybe she was on depresion i think my opinion
This appeals to my inner weeb
wtf...
Let's call her the number 1 yandere
Yuka Takaoka will be my mentor to become fully Yandere.
you need help if you want someone like her to be your mentor
I'm sorry but I'd totally take my chances and date her😆
i honestly love her, i want someone like her
You don’t
you need psycological help
What a loser lol
