Imagine you are a young Japanese girl. You are on a train. You sit down. You put on some earphones and listen to music. You close your eyes. Probably you are tired and just want some rest on the way home. You have made a fatal mistake.
That’s what one Japanese girl in her twenties found out on a train in Saitama on April 25th. She was rudely awakened from her semi-slumber to find that a stranger’s lips were locked around hers.
While her eyes had been closed, a man, Toshimitsu Ishibashi (49), had decided to kiss her. The man was from Saitama’s Kasukabeshi and worked as a temp.
The train was stopped at a station so after his “romantic” act of train chikan he tried to escape on the platform, but a fellow passenger who had witnessed the kiss gave chase and caught him.
While in prison no doubt he will have plenty of chance to practise kissing on his hands in front of the mirror to perfect his technique.
