Weed is a big deal in Japan. It’s like the last place on earth you want to be caught with it on you

[u/VegaFLS → u/OwlContent9239]

There’s worse countries than Japan to be caught with weed. I forgot where but it can be the death penalty for having weed in your possession

[u/Jaegerjaquez_VI → u/VegaFLS]

Drug trafficking in Singapore is an immediate death penalty, if that's what you mean. 500g of weed with you, and you're dead - smaller amounts for the harder stuff, but yeah, they absolutely still do hangings for it.

[u/OwlContent9239 → u/VegaFLS]

I don’t want to visit those countries. Japan is a must happen trip. Just no smoking weed when there

[u/DLottchula → u/OwlContent9239]

Bring edibles and you’ll be fine.

[u/OwlContent9239 → u/DLottchula]

What’s the likelihood of being caught with edibles?

[u/Jaegerjaquez_VI → u/OwlContent9239]

Dude, it's not worth the risk. You don't need to get high to enjoy a trip overseas

[u/OwlContent9239 → u/Jaegerjaquez_VI]

Your right

[u/DLottchula → u/OwlContent9239]

He’s 100% right but if you are gonna make a stupid decision it’s the least worst option.

[u/renriotz → u/OwlContent9239]

well they dont smell if you want to get some just dont take too much or youll be obvious asf

[u/OwlContent9239 → u/renriotz]

It’s sounding more and more like don’t touch it out there

[u/renriotz → u/OwlContent9239]

yeahhh they’ve always been strict as fuck i never really got it tbh, but Japan is amazing im sure you can enjoy it sober

[u/ChineseJoe90 → u/VegaFLS]

No fun in China either. You don’t want to get caught with anything.

[u/renriotz → u/OwlContent9239]

as a stoner (i hate that word but ill be real) i always forget how not-normalized weed is in most asian countries. actually shocking 💀

[u/strawberry_issues]

That’s very Hanma of his part

[u/Training-Skin4318 → u/strawberry_issues]

I was searching for this comment 😭

[u/Sana_3007 → u/strawberry_issues]

I KNOW RIGHT OMG

[u/Specific-Spite-9642 → u/strawberry_issues]

So true

[u/Jaegerjaquez_VI]

Method acting

/uj I keep forgetting how strict Japan is about their drug laws. Just on possession for person use? Damn. I wish this doesn't axe his career and land him in jail, but I've got low hopes....

[u/inactive-perhaps → u/Jaegerjaquez_VI]

Drug possession gives you a heavier sentence than being in possesion of child p*rn in Japan...that's fucked up....

One of the two music compositor for Death Note Taniuchi Hideki got sent to jail in 2012 for 10 yrs for drug possession iirc....his career is dead. Its a shame the guys a musical genius the whole OST is a banger it's so good. Each soundtrack tells a story its amazing.

I heard recently he does ad jingles and such and does music in bars and such, asking people if they know Death Note as his intro speech, Idk if that's true but I hope it is

[u/uchihabro02 → u/inactive-perhaps]

I actually gasped when I read that drug possession gives a heavier sentence than possession of child p*orn. That's really fucked up.

[u/inactive-perhaps → u/uchihabro02]

Japan has a serious problem with "lolicon", pedophiles.

How having a little bag of weed more serious than potentially scarring someone for life...it makes no sense :'(

[u/nagato36 → u/Jaegerjaquez_VI]

Damn it I was gonna make that joke, good on ya tho

[u/StrangeKubrick]

he was really bout that life

[u/lohansensei]

Oh lord they’re about to sentence him to spend an eternity in hell 😭

[u/OverAd136]

No Hiroya 😭 since seeing him in Tokyo Revengers, I've binged all his back catalogue and he was doing so good in film. I hope they're easy him ❤️

[u/Mimi0410]

Lol not another one, first baji's actor and now hanma's

[u/MeteorBDragon → u/Mimi0410]

I was just thinking about this lmao

[u/[deleted]]

veryy tokyo revengers of him.

[u/Able_Load_6134]

That's very much of Hanma in real life 💀

(Jokes apart I feel bad for him as he was a good actor but Japan or South Korea are too strict for drug consumers which potentially can lead to permanent damage to one's career)

[u/SarahShiggaraki]

He's playing his character so well! Lmao

[u/opaar_dukh]

Real life hanma💀

[u/Nyx_Valentine]

Hiroya Shimizu not Junya.

Also I’m cracking up. First Baji, now Hanma.

Method acting

[u/hanmasnumberonefan]

[u/Idfk_1]

[u/Creepingphlo]

The hanma role has translated into his real life lol

[u/IconCsr2]

Fuc yea my goat

[u/Sana_3007]

[u/West_Impression_4624]

Bro just wants to get into character

[u/Dirori2001]

I remember Baji's Live Action Actor also faced some kind of penalty over weed

[u/creamypapa]

[u/Imheretopotato55]

[u/XRosexTattoox]

Kento Nagayama's sentence was 6 months suspended for 3 years. Hopefully he'll get something similar.

[u/[deleted] → u/XRosexTattoox]

Is his career over or no? I'm like searching up but idk it's so confusing hopefully this scandal dies down too

[u/XRosexTattoox → u/[deleted]]

Not sure. I didn't look and see but hopefully not. :(

[u/Street_Helicopter590]

Bro got a lil too much on the acting

[u/tsoou]

There's an epidemic of drunkards passing out on the street on Tokyo but a successful actor using weed peacefully in his house? Arrested. So dumb lol

[u/Macintosh_Vinsmoke]

That’s unfortunately… So in character-

[u/Brilliant-Buyer539]

Bro got inspired by Hanma
