The story
Freelance announcer Mori Kasumi revealed on the October 10 broadcast of ABEMA’s “Ura-aka Uraraka” that she moved house after growing uneasy about the same postal worker repeatedly delivering her registered mail. Registered mail sometimes requires identity confirmation — checking the recipient’s name and address — for “addressee only” deliveries, and since delivery areas are fixed, it’s not unusual for the same staffer to handle a given address. The remark split opinion on 5ch: some said ID checks are simply standard procedure, while others said they understood her wariness given her fame. Posters also shared separate gripes about postal workers’ confidentiality obligations and contactless-delivery mishaps.
Mori Kasumi shudders over registered mail delivery… “I got scared, so I moved” — “Since it’s my real name… the same person keeps coming…”
Freelance announcer Mori Kasumi appeared on ABEMA’s “Ura-aka Uraraka” on the 10th.
When a post reading “What’s with getting the doorbell rung even though I requested contactless delivery?” went viral, Umezawa Tomio remarked, “Isn’t it just thoughtful of them? I mean, these days some people steal packages left at the door — mine got taken.”

What people said
Way too full of herself
She posts underwear pics all the time and I feel absolutely nothing
No idea what's supposed to be scary about that
The area's fixed, so of course the same guy comes
Once they know exactly who you are, getting caught bare-faced or au naturel isn't great for your image, is it?
Exactly, she's way overthinking it
"Huh? I requested contactless delivery" I said, and they told me, "Sorry, anything oversized has to be handed over in person."
Though in her case, she's probably doing this on purpose just to generate buzz.
Yeah
If it doesn't fit in the delivery box they just leave a missed-delivery slip
Even though I told them to leave it at the door
If she used to do gravure work, maybe that's why she's sensitive about this kind of thing.
Still, having the delivery guy confirm your identity seems pretty normal to me though…
We're talking about registered mail here, you know?
Her moving out means she was sure it was one of those guys.
Then again, if the delivery person had been a woman or a foreigner, I bet she wouldn't have moved.
Nah, I'd hate having the same person show up every time.
These days they probably just look it up online.
Though they hardly have time to look up every single name.
What a dedicated delivery worker.
If they scan it with their phone it comes up instantly though?
Background and Points of Debate
Registered mail — especially “addressee-only” delivery — comes with a built-in system requiring on-the-spot identity verification, sometimes including a request to show a driver’s license or similar ID. Because delivery is assigned by postal-service district, the same carrier handling a given address for as long as someone lives there is standard practice, not special surveillance or harassment. The debate on the thread centered on Mori’s reaction of finding this routine, system-mandated procedure “scary” — some explained why ID checks are necessary, while others said they understood her wariness about having her address and real name known given her fame. It’s worth noting that the thread’s more definitive claims about individual delivery workers’ conduct are largely unsubstantiated speculation, not evidence of how things actually are.
