DV, dating, suicide ... The darkness of the heart held by "Tozoko Kids" that hits Kabukicho
If you hear the "Shinjuku Toho Building", you can see that it is a building with Godzilla objects.Since its opening in 2015, the building has become a symbol of Kabukicho on behalf of the Shinjuku Koma Theater.
"To side kids" were gathering on the right side, looking into the building from Shinjuku Station.There is a planting of the building site, and it is easy to sit under it.In addition, the road width is moderately wider, and it is a moderate terrain.
This interview did not follow the tste, but decided to be a sudden guerrilla coverage.Observing the "Toei Kids" on this day, it seemed that there were about three large groups towards the back of the street.
Among them, the highest group seemed easy to talk to.One man sometimes called out to a group of women, and it was a small number.
● "I don't do it, so I just come here to hang it here."
Never talk to girls in pink dress and black T -shirts.Both of them were on the ground, so they sitting on a Yankee to meet her gaze.
"I'm interested in toe side kids, but I wonder if it's a little good."
Even though this voice is repeated, the reaction is not good.While having a lot of conversations, a brown -haired boy joined.
"I'm a journalist. Which magazine? What is the news site?"
When I taught the medium name, a black T -shirt girl started searching."Oh, that site, really"
When I checked the media name, a brown -haired boy opened her mouth.
"To the side of Toe is a hangout of Menhera (a net slang that refers to having some problem with mental health). There is nothing to do, so just come here."
"After that, the girl has no place to stay at home for DV.
The girl in the pink dress is "Masgomi, no," "It's okay."She decided to leave once, because she was reluctant to interview them until they were offended.
● Some children are on DV
I continued the watch from a short distance.When the night book was going down, three men and women sat down further behind the group we interviewed earlier.
It doesn't seem to interact with other groups.I tried an assault interview again.
This time, about two weeks from Kansai, Manab (pseudonym, 22), who came to Tokyo, responded casually.He said, "I want you to know the minors here."
Manab has been making friends online for a long time.One of the reasons I moved to Tokyo is my interest in the side of the toe, and this is my seventh time.On this day, I took with two girls I met on the net.
According to Manab, "A girl who has no place at home or school will come here."She is sick of mental, DV at home, and some runaway girls.It is said that some children are dedicated to their friends, and some children are living in the hotel while earning them in customs.
"I want to help a child who has these various problems."
Manab is looking for a job, but he has previously worked in a restaurant.He said he would like to use the network of a restaurant friend to introduce the "Toei Yoko Kids" a part -time job.
● The reasons for being alert
During the interview with Manab, there was a girl in a black mask, Nami -chan (a pseudonym), on the right side of the author.She made her hanging with a pink eye shadow and wore frilled clothes.It was in the middle of the so -called "Pen Women".
Obviously young to infer from eyes and voice quality.Or rather, it has a young atmosphere.
When asked, "Why is it in Penen?", "Well, it's cute. I want to imitate it."
During the interview with Manab, Nami once turned to him.After that, Manab told me the content.
"When I first called out, Nami -chan said," It's the first time I came to the toe today. I care that it's actually different. It's better to say the truth.I asked if it was good. "
"They come here many times, but I'm a junior high school student."
Nami thought, "It's troublesome to be a plain clothes police officer," and lied to "for the first time."It may be because of this reason that the group we interviewed first was wary of the writer.
● The replacement of the members is intense
When I was talking, Masakuni (a pseudonym), who seems to be in her early twenties, is approaching.He has been visiting him since his life, and taught me the formation of the "toe side kids".
On Twitter, there is a group called "self -portrait neighborhood" that raises self -portraits and images.The leading members have begun to use them to meet in real life around 2018.At that time, the age group was generally higher.
Although the number of members gathered in the first emergency declaration of last year has decreased, but the number of men in the work -related night job has increased.After that, junior high school students who had never had before came in and out.Nowadays, the second year of junior high school and early 20s are hanging out.
Masakuni is an old stock, but there are few men and women who have been going for several years like him.
"I don't come if I don't like it because I don't have any particular irritations. I will come if I want to come.
One of the causes of members disappear is self -death.Masakuni also lost his friend Miki (a pseudonym) last spring.Another friend also made a group of three groups, had a lot of conversations, and met to the side of the toe.
Miki, who worked for a sex shop, also had a problem with the heart.In addition, Masakuni was worried that a few girls were also working on dating (compensated dating).
Masakuni, who is older and financially affordable, sometimes takes care of younger kids.
"Some girls are making money for customs and compensated dating, but they are crazy and have no money.I've done it. "
To the side of Toe, it seems that it also has the aspect of "co -assistance on the street".
● "I'm not the side of the toe. Don't be together."
However, even if these aspects are, there are severe eyes that are directed to young people.It is not a nearby restaurant or local residents, but also the same generation who goes to Kabukicho.
I talked to Mr. Miwa (a pseudonym, 22), who was sitting on planting a place about 10 meters away from the "Toei Yoko Kids".
Similar to the first interview, when I said, "I'm interested in To's side kids," Nami's switching back was harsh.
"No, I'm not the toe side. Don't be together."
She has a boyfriend of the host and comes to Kabukicho often and connects her as follows.
"I'm hanging on the alley and drinking. It's too disturbing." "Why come to Kabukicho. If you don't have money, drink home."
I couldn't hear the job content, but I felt the spirit that I was dropping money in this city.
● I was indifferent to the Olympics
Miwa said he did not want to be together with "Toei Kids", but he was interviewing and found something in common.That is, I am not interested in the Tokyo Olympics at all.
I talked about the Olympics to many young people on this day, but I didn't eat.
Nevertheless, on the street where the Tohor Kids gathered, a flag with the Olympics mark was raised on the street.When the darkness of the night was completely full, the flag was illuminated by the neon sign in Kabukicho.
What I got in the interview on this day would be just a part of the Toei Kids.Still, there is one thing I can say.
They are on the street in Kabukicho in search of a "place".
