Japanese isn’t perfect, (only been living here a month! I learn fast, but still a work in progress) but the jest of it was:
A man who went viral online for tagging around Japan has gone around Tokyo vandalizing and defacing the city. They interviewed people who said it makes neighborhoods looks bad and makes them less likely to shop at business with the tags on it since it makes it look unsafe.
Through some work, they found even more videos of the guy stealing from FamilyMarkets after tagging up on their signs.
He went alongside bridges tagging, and through subway stations tagging and spraying some more, etc.
Subjectively, it’s property damaged for the sake of pissing people off. The tags aren’t creative. Just repetitive scribble over and over. There are outlets for people to tag and sticker in the city, but this was done in places that were intended to piss people off and cause drama.
I know it went viral about a week ago, and the news finally did a full segment.
Wonder if anyone else caught it? Thoughts?
