Flair Used in r/japannews
#1
日本語
: ""The child was born in Japan and can only speak Japanese. Forced to return to India, which is nothing but a foreign country to him, he's crying. We've always followed Japan's rules, worked hard, and even bought a house. Yet suddenly being told to go back—is that humane?""

Source in Comments
: "Underage girls in Japan turning to street prostitution to fund ‘underground idol’ obsession- these male singers operate outside major talent agencies at small venues. Their main selling point is an extreme level of intimacy with their fans, which drives young girls to desperate measures for cash."
