Schoolgirls for Sale in Japan
This Thursday at 12pm EDT, Simon Ostrovsky and Jake Adelstein will join 'On The Line' to discuss this story. Ask your questions on Twitter @VICENews with #OnTheLine: http://bit.ly/1Sgvvn2 Japan’s obsession with cutesy culture has taken a dark turn, with schoolgirls now offering themselves for “walking dates” with adult men. Last year the US State Department, in its annual report on human trafficking, flagged so-called joshi-kosei osanpo dates (that’s Japanese for “high school walking”) as fronts for commercial sex run by sophisticated criminal networks. In our exclusive investigation, VICE News host Simon Ostrovsky will bring you to one of Tokyo’s busiest neighborhoods, where girls solicit clients in their school uniforms, to a concert performed by a band of schoolgirls attended by adult men, and into a café, where teenage girls are available to hire by the hour. But the true revelations come behind closed doors, when schoolgirls involved in the rent-a-date industry reveal how they’ve been coerced into prostitution.

And Vice....................for a unconventional news reporting agency that does partial investigative journalism why is this guy at 8:20 walking into the place with a cameraman ? could you not have used a hidden cam ? you should have because you would have REALLY THEN SEEN what inner illegal workings of this Jk Business I mean if I were running some kind of Illegal biz I would def make a strong front if I knew someone was walking in. You see more when you act as though you are no looking !

I get that Japanese popular culture has many things we may deem as "strange" from underwear dispensaries to other things but there is definitely a disgusting underbelly of customers (and I think those customers are businessmen to Yakuza Members to regular seeming guys) who buy sex from these teen and traffic them, its fucked up. Japan needs to understand their plight and help them. I personally think it is highly disgusting obviously illegal but you are using a person who is a female underage likely against her will or with consent regardless how do you know if they are not being abused or hurt or had been taken away forcibly from their lives or families ? its totally fucked up. I hope they have hefty sentencing for people caught operating these child traffic rings and such and the users too. SMFH.

I don't get the issue, it's just an escort service. if it's 70-80% sexual then why weren't they able to capture it happening even once? no undercover, no police interview, no properly referenced statistics of any kind. this seems like it's just an OMG culture shock for people who don't know the difference between a geisha and a prostitute.

I can't tell whether some these "school girls" are 16 or 20.

WOW!! how shameful! what a country and they all think America is bad Geesh!! We dont sell our children -- we proudly call them sluts and prostitutes - which is just another name for lottery disease at your service!!

Perhaps all the "oppressed" feminists in the USA should move to Japan. Things suddenly aren't so bad here, now are they? Get off your high horses and help women who actually need it, ya bitchy liberals.

I need a plane ticket.

Thing is, most men in Japan prefer girls who younger than high school age.

They'd hate me in Tokyo for my age of 38 cause I only sponsor women over 47 😜
