YouTubers create ruckus in Japan. Here's what has happened
Lately, a surge of travel streamers has provoked ire from global audiences due to their disruptive actions, with one of the most notable figures being known as 'Johnny Somali.'
Somali, currently residing in Japan, has faced confrontations from locals and fellow expatriates on multiple occasions due to his conduct, which includes shouting provocative statements like «Hiroshima and Nagasaki» at people in public spaces.
At present, Somali has been arrested on two occasions, and Japanese authorities have even labeled such streamers as «nuisances.» Nevertheless, he is not the sole content creator responsible for causing disturbances in the country.
Meanwhile, another YouTuber with 2.4 million subscribers apologised on Tuesday after a video of him and three others free-riding around Japan became the latest example of fame-seeking foreigners riling locals, as per an AFP report.
The YouTuber known by the username Fidias posted a video over the weekend of the four riding trains and buses around Japan — in some cases without paying, AFP reported.
In the video, Fidias hides in a toilet of a bullet train, pretends to be ill when confronted by a ticket collector, and then escapes to board another train where he pulls the same trick.
Another clip shows him entering a hotel and pretending to be a guest in order to get free breakfast.
