This Week in Asia in a November 17 report quoted a 19-year-old girl named Rua* who said she could provide sexual service to as many as 10 clients a day, of whom around half were foreigners, and spent her earnings in a nearby host club. “If these rumours spread around the world, it could lead to the misunderstanding that ‘Japanese women can be bought with money’ and the risk of more women becoming victims of sexual assault will increase.

“The domestic situation in Japan is often driven by foreign suggestions and too often we only start self-help moves after something serious has been pointed out by outsiders,” he told This Week in Asia, pointing to the case of Johnny Kitagawa. Kitagawa died at the age of 97 in 2019. The company he founded has changed its name but continues to nurture starlets in the music and entertainment sector.“Everything here is buried in habit and vested interests,” Tanaka said. “Problems exist, but no one tries to change them. Politicians simply do not understand the root cause of the main problem.

Seiboren hopes that changes will be enacted to the Anti-Prostitution Law, which at present permits the police to arrest women who are providing sexual services but they have no powers to detain or charge the men who are customers.
