The story
On the 18th, Comdot’s leader Yamato took to Instagram Stories to complain that “there’s been so much creepy secret filming going on while I’m out shooting with my parents,” and warned that if the person who filmed it posts it on social media, he will “crush them completely.” On 5ch’s Entertainment/Sports Express+ thread, opinion split over how to draw the line on filming in public spaces — some argued “YouTubers must capture passersby on camera all the time too, so this is awfully convenient of him,” while others countered that “having someone butt in and film without permission while you’re already filming with permission is a different issue.”

What people said
That's not unusual, actually.
We're talking about an elderly person, right?
Unlike celebrities, regular people have no protection —
no fans, no manager, no agency behind them,
no money, and getting exposed doesn't earn them a thing either.
If it happened while he was filming, who even cares honestly.
Unless you've got filming permits and have the area to yourself, of course regular people are going to show up.
so if he's going to complain, he should just go film somewhere with no people around.
Seems a bit self-important then.
Wait, is this guy confessing to filming a secret video and then threatening "if you don't want this exposed to the world…" lol
That's a scary dude…
Lol
These guys are the ones in the way
No idea who they even are
He'll be forgotten in a few years anyway.
Both sides are just regular people filming in public without permission.
Apparently they're only popular in the specific locale of Okazaki, or so I hear.
It just means it's an entertainment-category thread — it's a heading tag.
There's one for music too, and people use it to search.
There's a thread about them at least once a week.
The fact that he thinks 'not knowing who they are = winning' is kind of gross.
'He's got a camera! He must definitely be secretly filming super-famous me!'
Seriously, this celebrity-acting routine is annoying.
Exactly that.
No way he's going to post some random stranger who just happened into frame on social media.
Background and key points of this debate
There’s no clear-cut legal standard in Japan for where the line falls between the person filming and the person being filmed. Violations of portrait rights or privacy are judged case by case through accumulated court precedent, and this thread mixed together two distinct issues: “filming is fine because it’s a public place” versus “posting it online without consent is a separate matter.” The problem of passersby getting caught on camera when YouTubers or TikTokers film in public has been pointed out before, and this time, with the “filmer” becoming the “filmed,” an asymmetry that’s normally hard to see was brought into view. Opinion in the thread split mainly between two camps: (1) that filming in public is something anyone should simply tolerate since it can happen to anybody, and (2) that it’s inconsistent for someone who makes his living filming video content to object so fiercely only when it’s his own family being filmed. There was also a comment claiming Yamato’s parent is well-known in a certain local community, but this is unverified and is not treated as fact in this article. One point readers may easily get wrong: the threatening-sounding remarks come from Yamato himself, already made public via his own social media post — they are not comments posted on 5ch.
