A "doya-gai" is an area densely packed with cheap, simple lodging houses where mainly day laborers stay. Signs like "2,000 yen per night! Color TV, heating and cooling included!" line the streets.
Announcer Marin Mita came to such a slum for a report.
"I will uncover the reality of the people living in this town."
She reports on this town in Japan and the people living there—fellow human beings—with the gaze of a scholar studying a new species in a far-off foreign land.
That is her job.
Even for her, who is in the glittering entertainment world that everyone admires, work can sometimes be painful, difficult, and unpleasant.
Hiding her frown with a smile, she keeps her arms extended as far as possible to maintain distance from the interviewees as she continues her report.
"Alright, that's a wrap!"
The moment the camera stops, her smile vanishes, and she spits out the words she had been holding back to the staff.
"Why the hell do I have to come to a place like this?"
I wonder how it feels to be raped by the very people she looked down upon so much.
Being dragged away at night, stripped of her clothes, and raped.
Forced contact between mucous membranes.
Her cries of refusal are ignored.
Her calls for help go unheard.
Raped over and over.
Raped by multiple men.
Facials.
Forced to be raped until her reluctant body begins to react.
