Has Shinjuku really gotten so cheap? I remember 10+ years ago Shinjuku being the last place I wanted to get stranded in because the hotels were so few and expensive. Ikebukuro used to be the cheapest, 

I honestly wouldn't have a clue as I've only recently started traveling back to Japan but for the past 2 years it's only cost me $1000 for 1 week at my favourite hotel & the millions of love hotels that surround it are of reasonable prices

Do you buy them serious gifts? I remember when I still bought band gifts it was mostly those little boxes of alcohol or other silly gag gifts that we'd plaster some purikura we took before the show all over. (Is putting your purikura on gifts even still a thing? IDEK now.) 

The most expensive gift I've bought was a custom made pink lipstick that I went in picked all the colours & scents & got it named after him cause he wears pink lipstick alot 🙊🙊 it was $70, plus he got some other little things. As I'm from Australia I try to get everyone something very Australian. & I haven't seen anyone stick their pre-concert purikura on the gifts but thanks for the tip ✌ 1 of the best moments was when I got back to my hotel & saw that 3 of the members uploaded picture's of stuff I got them on their blog, twitter & instagram 😍

I tend to only go to final lives of tours in Tokyo, you get sneak peeks of the next release & information on the band's next tour's. I don't use my drink token 🙊 & I tend to only buy towels & cheki, & then when I get back to my home country I stick what I can & other pictures in my concerts scarpbook 😂 

For accommodation my favourite hotel in Tokyo is actually located within the red light district of Shinjuku & I usually stay 1 week in Tokyo which costs me $1000 & then another week in either Hiroshima, Kyoto or Osaka. I could stay with friend's or in a hostel to save money but my friend's parent's are all strict so I'd have a curfew 😒 & in hostels you have to share rooms & bathrooms 2 things I absolutely HATE to share so hotel's are a MUST for me.

Making friend's at concerts is something I don't do (I'm anti-social I know) if I don't know you I won't speak to you till I'm spoken to 🙊I also find doing the furi to songs extremely embarrassing plus I'm tall, so I stand up the back, I've only ever stood up the front & done furi once in my life because it was the first time I was seeing my favourite band. But I have to say Pentagon fan's are really friendly & they try to get you to participate in everything 👌

I LOVE giving gifts to the band so I'll buy a gift for each member (I feel mean only getting gifts for certain members) & sometimes the staff each trip 🙊🙊& I do spend a little bit more on my favourite members but yolo.

He wasn't in a sincere romantinc relationship XD He was banging his fan and trying to break up with her. I seriously doubt they went on real dates and met each other's families.

I highly doubt it as well but we can't expect everyone to live up to the standards & rules of what is considered to be a suitable relationship. He wanted a fling she wanted more, happens everyday.

Uh, because everyone else in Japan does. He's not above the law for being visual kei.

I wasn't saying he was above the law for being visual kei. I just don't believe that a person has to comply to societies standards & rules to be deemed a "cincere romantic relationship" he is who is & his style is his. He's not going to be everyone's ideal type but for other's he is

@Donttalkbackin some way or another he didn't fit the stipulations for a "sincere romantic relationship", which as you kindly informed us up the thread, is usually determined by parental consent. if parental consent was involved he wouldn't have been arrested. what is your point with all this? the dude provided information to the police and the police found that it was sufficient enough to arrest him. if your problem is with the law itself then that's fine, but it doesn't change the reality of what happened and the fact that as it stands, what he did is considered a crime, and one he very stupidly incriminated himself of in an unrelated discussion with law enforcement.

Why should Rio have to fit a certain criteria to be deemed a "cincere romantic relationship" as far as I'm concerned she consented seeing as she dropped her pants & spread her legs twice & the parent's didn't say a thing.

& as for parental consent is do you honestly think anyone would listen to their parents if they said "no, you can't see that boy" god no cause their approval isn't important, date & screw who ya wish!! I just don't belive he should have been arrested.

my bad i thought we were talking about the actual situation and not fantasy. consensual relationship with over 20 male + <18 girl + no parental approval = misdemeanor

How do we know there's no parental approval ?? There's been no statements from them demanding he be arrested.

Except he did just walk up in there to talk about another issue and ended up confessing (whether unknowingly or not).

 

The conversation about the girl would have been bought up by the police & no arrests should have been made if there were no complaints

idgaf who you stan or how hard you want to do it, just don't bring incorrect information when you do it

My information wasn't incorrect

I'm getting irritated w/ people who didn't read previous posts or didn't/can't read the related articles jumping in so I'll reiterate:
The police questioned him on an unrelated matter, and he provided the information about his relationship w/ this girl.
 

"The discovery of the incident started when suspect Kenta Murata AKA "Rio" spoke to the police regarding troubles concerning the band's activities, where it was confirmed that a female high school student who was a LONDBOY fan was a victim."

Then be prepared to be very irritated by me jumping in & giving my opinion because I don't believe she's a victom at all & I will voice my opinion, I have read all the news articles & stories that have been released. But I will continue to support Rio & LONDBOY regardless of the outcome. ✌

HE INCRIMINATED HIMSELF for fuck's sake she didn't tell anyone! he told the police about it!
nobody is trying to yoko ono LONDBOY ffs

Someone physically has to go to the police to actually make a report that these 2 had been seeing each other before they can arrest him. He didn't just walk up in there & go I need to confess 

 Japan statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 13. At 13, Japan's base age of consent is the lowest of any developed country. However, many prefectures also have local "corruption of minors" or "obscenity statutes" (淫行条例) which raise the de-facto age of consent to 16-18, unless they are in a "sincere romantic relationship", usually determined by parental consent. For example, the effective age of consent in Tokyo by local statute is 18. The age of marriage is 16 for girls and 18 for boys with parental permission, and 20 otherwise (as stated in " ﾅｽ邃｢窶慊ｶ窶｢ﾅｸﾅｽﾆ停?邸", the Child Welfare Act of Japan.

The girl was 18 at the time so in my honest opinion she legally consented. To me it looks like she's doing this to get back at him probably for saying what they "had" isn't serious because most girl's that sleep with band's keep it hush hush 🤔
