What whaaaaat? What is going on there? - Eeep

Hey guys and girls it_'s Cathy Cat from Tokyo

"Comiket no Yami" pretty much sayin "the dark side

of Cosplay at Comiket" is a video that has made the rounds

online after a certain scandalous little event happening here in Japan. This time

I am gonna go and ask Japanese people to react to it, and give us their opinion and maybe

and explanation why. If you haven't seen that video yet, it is in the description box below

maybe open it in a separate window, check out the very short clip. It's only like 10 seconds before

you watch the movie. We are not allowed to put that into our video.

The laws and rights for YouTubers here in Japan are even stricter than in your country.

So we are not allowed to put this in. Check out the quick clip and then come back to us and let's see

how Japanese people on the streets of Tokyo have reacted

to this little outrageous event. Let's go and ask Japanese.

Do you know the Comiket. - I know it. - I have heard of it but I don't know what it's about.

People that cosplay get together and take pictures and such

It's a place for that.  - That connects to today's topic

Recently the Hashtag "Dark side of Comiket"

has recently been trending online. Yes Darkness. What darkness do you expect?

What? People putting up pictures without permission. - Sneaky pictures of girls in little clothing

Having some suspicious old men take pictures...

They suddenly all crowded around the girls. What is going on?

Eeep! - How scary is that? - So scary! - They kept the distance before, and then...

Guess they wanted to touch the girls. - The cosplayer who posted this said

that she has not been touched but that they all came too close.

That's not the distance in which you can take pictures. - More like having the real thing there

That's scary. The girls must have been scared of this sudden development

Having a large group crowd around rather than just one or two

Seeing this, what did you think? - How dangerous this is.

The cosplayers might not have felt as much in trouble but...

out-standers would think its dangerous. - They were just right

before touching the girls, and they were dressed very sparsely too.

That's not a distance in which you can take good pictures.

They should have kept their distance properly.

I understand they wanted to take a picture, but there is a line.

Why did this happen. - Well they were not touched right? - Yeah

They just huddled together. - They must have wanted to take pics at a great angle.

They must have wanted to see the faces of the girls up close.

I think it's also because EVERYONE did it. I am sure the people

on the back just followed the man in front of them without knowing.

Might have been. - Just following the man in front? - Yeah.

If the guys at the front had acted properly things wouldn't have escalated

But the front line did it and the other ones followed.

So this weird video happened. - In this scenario we have

Having 3 cosplaying boys taking pictures like that.

girls flock around them.  - But not THAT close.

But when on stage, many girls will get together to see them

that might be the closest similar situation.

They want to see them but would they crowd around for pics?

If you really like someone, you want to show you got good manners

and wouldn't do that. - You think of the other person first.

- I do. - If we did something like that, boys would hate us.

We would never get a chance. Having good manners is super important in Japan.

Sorry girls.... Do you like anime? - I do. - Me too

What anime do you like? - I had time to watch anime in school

then I could watch more. Recently I've been watching "Kimetsu no Yaiba"

It's popular abroad. - Recently I watched "Cells at work!"

I like that anime and really watched that recently.

So then have you heard about Comiket? - I have.

Recently the hashtag "The darkside of Comiket" has been trending on twitter

I don't know but I heard that some people meet there and get screwed over

And that there are many thieves and such.

These 3 cosplaying girls were having a photoshoot

But then this happened... please check it out

I have seen this one. - Girl that's scary!

So scary. - The cosplayer herself posted that they have not been touched there though.

Hmmmm how scary. - Those girls are in trouble.

Many people abroad were wondering why this happened in Japan.

What did you think seeing it? - From what I saw

all the other people are older men. If that many old men come at you

... they must have felt scared for their lives.

Why did this happen? Abroad people think that Japanese are very shy you see,

Is this the fault of "safety in numbers"?

Why did this happen? What do you think? - Rules...

If there were better rules the girls wouldn't have to be scared ....

They might be too much into their hobby to realize what they did.

But no matter how much you like it, you need to keep up your morals

most of all. I understand that. I like geeky things too.

I think I learned from this movie how important it is for fans to have good manners most of all. I understand that. I like geeky things too.

I think I learned from this movie how important it is for fans to have good manners

and can enjoy their work. - It's ok to be geeky BUT

don't cause a nuisance for other people? - Hmmm

That's what I thought. - Everyone let's be more careful! Everyone came so close....

but the girls were not touched. Why do you think the cameramen came up that close? - They wanted to

take pics you can only take there. Like their expression....

fans want to come as close as they can to their idols. Even when they can't touch them, they want closeness

and take pics. - Don't touch close but have that closeness on the picture?

Maybe they wanted to take a sexual picture ...

but from a viewer's perspective it looks like that because of the short skirts...
