The new copywrong law there is up now, and yeah, it sadly illustrates the reality that Japan's rather insular entertainment companies are continually creating a cultural vacuum that has now been taken over by Koreans.
Being a fan of a popular pop group can be a double-edged sword: sure they love them and thus they buy the records for a voting ticket, but with the new law fans sometimes risk being arrested by posting fan videos just to show their devotion and for trying to get the word out to the rest of the world.
In this guy's case, he really tries to push the envelope and reasoning that he wanted to be popular. Damn, he should've known better.
Also, given the low crime rate, well, as always the local cops are trying to look for anything they could get their hands on, even petty crimes; thus bribery and tax evasion cases resemble like war epics where cops and investigators come inside a tax evader's house as a big posse.
