And there we go.

Our wonderful "Somalian" friend got indited on the obstruction of business charge ("威力業務妨害罪"). The maximum sentence on conviction is 3 years or less, and/or a fine of 500k JPY or less. The trespassing charge was dismissed (不起訴処分) as "not serious, victim forgave them, rekt by public opinion, etc" (起訴猶予).

The pre-trial detainment period is a max of 2 months (with 1 months extensions as an option), and bail is possible but extremely unlikely.

I was expecting additional charges to force a visa overstay, but the oft quoted statistic about Japan's conviction rate is fully applicable now.

fascinating (and gorgeous!) chart showing the evolution of recorded-music revenue over the last 50 years

the first thing that jumps out at me is how much smaller the overall pie is post-streaming. the streaming services and major labels have successfully managed a) to dramatically devalue recorded music and b) to put a much larger percentage of it directly into their own pockets. it's one of the single biggest upward transfers of wealth in history — from artists to billionaire corporations
