愚かなことをするのをやめなさい!”Don’t do stupid things” of the day!

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In Japan, a lot of stupid things created by youth in Japan has been trending. From licking to throwing sanitizer on conveyor belt sushi that someone might eat, to licking inside the bottle caps of sauce containers at restaurants, to pushing people off the railroad tracks as pranks to their friends… And of course, a lot of the youth are doing these things to showcase their videos on social media.

So, the 愚かなことをするのをやめなさい!”Don’t do stupid things” of the day! goes to these kids:

A video posting app showed a young man throwing a plastic stick used at a construction site toward the tracks of the JR Yosan Line in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture. JR Shikoku submitted a damage report to the Ehime Prefectural Police. JR Shikoku states that it will “strictly deal with events that may affect train operations.”

A video of only 6 seconds that seems to have been posted on the video distribution app TikTok. From the station platform, you can see a young man with a shaved head lying down on the railroad tracks.

When he noticed that the smartphone camera is pointed at him, he made a funny expression and make a peace sign. The video ends with the young man jumping up and laughing, which seems to be the person taking the picture.

Acts that cannot be treated as pranks or pranks that may constitute violations of the Railway Business Act if this was taken on an actual railroad track. That being said, a fine of 1,000 yen or more and less than 10,000 yen seems like a relatively light penalty.

For example, if this act of entering delays the train and is deemed intentional, the railway company may demand compensation for damages. The amount is often rumored to be in the hundreds of millions, but the illegal act It fluctuates on a case-by-case basis, such as the time of day and whether it is an urban area or a suburban area.Actually, I hear that the bill is from several hundred thousand yen to several million yen. ”

Naturally, the video spread on the Internet and the voices of criticism against men are increasing, and it seems that some netizens are running to “identify” their identities.

However, the SNS account related to the video has already been deleted, perhaps knowing the situation where numerous nuisances were exposed. It doesn’t show a specific location like a store like Sushiro, but what you see are platforms all over the country.

According to an IT writer who is familiar with internet troubles, it seems that “helpers” are beginning to appear.

“It seems that some railway fans are also moving in a certain way, and from the characteristics such as the width of the track and the transportation IC card the man is holding, they think, ‘Is it in the Kansai area?’ Maybe it’s just a matter of time.

From the railway fan’s point of view, the act of lying on the tracks is more than just a prank, it’s an insult. The fact that I touched on the anger of railroad fans could lead to an unfunny result”.
