I had to cut a few moments from the video because it kept getting flagged by YT but hope you guys can still enjoy. Please let me know if you like this kind of podcast-style format for the true crime videos! Also I'll be live streaming later tonight on my Twitch channel if you want to come hang out! - www.twitch.tv/terrytvlive
I really enjoyed it, and actually was really happy to see it was longer and much deeper than the previous! Such a terrible story, but most people outside asia (me included) don't know about this cases and the details you provide about the backround of the countries. And we should if we really want to change. Thank you, and whatever you decide to do, will be waiting for your next video!
Junko ruined her son's life?!! Her son not only took Junko's life, but her dignity and freedom! I understand that he's her son and she loves him very much but let the poor girl rest in peace. She did her no favors when she was a captive and now she's grandstanding like a fool.
The mother who vandalized Junko’s grave also infuriates me. It’s your own sh*tty son’s f*cking fault that his life is ruined, not a dead 16 year-old (who was minding her own business). She didn’t ‘seduce’ him to madness like you keep acting as though she did. HE decided to entrap and kidnap her. HE decided to slowly torture her to death in various ways over the course of 44 goddamn days. Seriously, why can’t they leave Junko Furuta alone?
This murder case by far is one of the most terrible & shocking cases ever reported in Japan. Till this day, it still infuriates many Japanese people like myself. Very upsetting and really questions people's morality and humanity.
I feel these monsters have not been punished enough... NOTHING will ever be enough. Don't Japanese people feel like they deserve at least life in prison? What is the public opinion? They deserve to rot in prison... At least.
@@graziagabriellananna2929 We are mostly shocked and infuriated by the sentences these guys get. If you ask me, I think they should have gotten life imprisonment. Honestly the justice system in Japan is terrible. I wish more could be done for the poor girl. I do agree with Terry here. South Korea and Japan justice systems are generally pathetic, despite how advanced these countries might appear to be. No country is perfect afterall
Throw his whole relative's in the BIN this is atrocious the police government don't give a shit about us and our youth if they chew up and spit back out people like this.
the fact they're all out of jail now and living their life is what makes my blood boil. someone should find recent pictures of them and where they live and post them online. i promise ill make a visit to japan myself
@@handsomehandsome9854 these are not human beings, their actions proved that they're demons in human form. they should not be allowed to be free. the crime they commited was not a mistake or murder out of hate, they killed and raped just for the heck of it. they should not be allowed to live any further. as they say "may god forgive you but i will not"
@@rakimu6023 death is no freedom, what comes after death for demons like them is way worse than any punishment on this world. besides, letting them live is a waste of oxygen and tax money.
when her mom found out the details about what Junko gone through, she fainted from shock... like sometimes I'm mortified about what the human kind can do at its worst
@Laxman Tiwari it's not hard not to be misogynistic. Just treat women like humans. Don't say or do things to them you don't want to yourself. Treat others how you wanna be treated regardless of how they look
As a woman, the details of this case make me physically sick. It’s so frustrating that laws are still so backward regardless of how advanced we have become. Thank you for finally talking about it. Even death sentence would not be enough to avenge all the unspeakable things these vile creatures did.
Same. I cannot think of any punishment severe enough for the dirty trash that did this. The best I can come up with is to cut their junk off and shove it down their throats, while live-streaming and making sure everyone knows who they are, of course.
We can only hope that the rest of their lives are a living hell. It will never be the same as The living hell Junko Furuta suffered, but since Japan is a HIGHLY reputation based society, and those sick bastards have been doxed (in the last decade by a journalist, if I remember right), they won’t be able to escape it under anonymity. It will a burden that they can’t unload. And That kind of disturbed character doesn’t just mellow out with time. And yes, it horrified me as a woman as well. I remember hearing about this in my highschool years, and I was a teenage girl at the time to. 😓 I’m not exaggerating that the details made me nauseated, and I had this sick chilly feeling for a while. I couldn’t fathom the agony of living that for even a day or to, let alone 44 f*cking days. And then the thought of having my corpse be disposed of like a victim of a goddamn serial killer or some cartel/mafia. By some who were fellow teenagers, and some of which were classmates.😳😰
This case literally traumatised me and my best friend. We stayed up all night talking on the phone cause we couldn't sleep. In the morning we both threw up... RIP Furata Junko
I read the entire 44 days in hell article and day by day analysis of what happened about half a decade ago. And when i tell you it made me sick and nauseated and not even sure what to do with my thoughts, it was no joke. And then it made me think, If I could get so horrified reading it, what on earth did she feel. It is beyond imagination and sympathy/empathy, i cannot even put myself in her shoes, no one really can at al. You start to wonder if feeling sorry is even worth it because theres nothing you can do or couldve done, which at end makes you bury your head in your hands wondering how some humans could even withstand inflicting this torture onto someone else. I definitely cannot fathom this tragic, horrific, life slaughtering, premeditated horror. And to find out the people behind it are rather scott free than having a LIFE sentence. Then to find out there are mangas made of it that actually sexualize it more than give it justice. Horrific. This is one time while reading 4 days daily occurences that i actually said 'please die, stop surviving'. And even she did survive all of this, her brain was already reduced to a size beyond compare due to avid and unimaginable distress, even making it out of this, wouldve continued to haunt her or damage her livelihood.
@@astitavsharma9216 no please don't read the article. you'll traumatize yourself and you wont be able to sleep for days. because trust me, even just saying the word "junko" gives me nausea
@@astitavsharma9216 That’s what I thought too. But I read about her case when I was like 18-19 years old. And even now, at 31 it still haunts me. Every time I see her picture or see her name, I remember her story. It just never leaves you, ever 😭
Nobody deserves this... You are really brave by telling her story without crying... Those actions are inhumane... Laws should be changed like people know what they are doing and saying they are minors is messed up....they can distinguish right from wrong that's enough.. This case should be reopened again and be sentenced to death
I feel like it the reasons they don't want to reopen the case to put fear in women to show the men have power. Just like rape. Why? I always never understand how rape can be a culture, But then I remember How Government want workers if women don't want kids. So basically they benefits from it.
I remember finding this case by accident and crying, not just a few tears, but full sobs. There are so many terrible cases but this one really breaks my heart. I can’t even imagine her suffering.
I cried and cried , her story breaks my heart in millions of pieces. The most horrific story I have ever heard considering I have seen hundreds of serial killers documentaries and crime stories . Rip junko
I’m so glad you spoke about this case I studied it when I was in Japan and even now 15 years later I just can’t wrap my head around what happened to this girl ! I’m in Seoul now and I believe that both in Japan and South Korea this type of cases are not « taken seriously » and the perpetrators get light sentences no matter how horrific the crimes are. We should remember her she deserves that because she didn’t just died she lived in hell for 44 days
The Nayoung case from South Korea is another one that shows how these cases aren't taken seriously. The criminal was released from prison a year ago and still walking freely to this day.
@@M2BLAQ I was in Korea at the time and it was taken very seriously by civilians. They were about to abolish the death penalty and people were arguing for it to be used for him (I believe he was chemically castrated in prison?). People were pissed off. Of course what civilians want and what the government/legal system does don't always match up....
@@MissJoy16 civilians take it seriously but the actual people that deals with criminals doesn't. That man was known to be a criminal and had charges against him before the Nayoung case but he was still able to walk free. If they didn't let him out on the streets, Nayoung wouldn't have become another one of his victims. Same goes for a lot of other cases like this where the judges give these criminals a slap on the hand despite doing horrible things.
@@M2BLAQ Yes they are so many cases I’ve gone over 50 or so in Japan and it was just mind blowing how someone who took a life in the worst way possible gets like 5-6 years and then has a reduced sentence ! It’s the same in Korea the last one I followed thoroughly was the rapist who got 12 years Fr rapping an 8 years old he should get life his wife WAITED for him if it was my husband I would divorce him and kill him. As someone living in Korea the laws are just unbelievable a rapist gets as much as someone who smoked marijuana ! We saw that we the burning sun they got 6 years then after a retrial it was reduced to 5 years and Seungri I think just went to the army im not sure he got jail time ! They are plenty of cases like this and NO ONE feels like it’s sickening it sets an example for men and women killers/rapists. Just do it you’ll get a slap on the wrist but please don’t speak marijuana because it’s such a heinous crime ! I love Korea don’t get me wrong but once someone crossed the line he/she will do it again and maybe it will escalate they should learn from the past cases and make a damn change to make sure that monsters are either given the death penalty or life without parole ! I have no oh he/she can change they made that choice when they could have walked away ! So no no sympathy or empathy on my part sounds harsh but as rape victim even over 20 years I still have nightmares and can’t trust men easily ! I talk from experience and these victims the one who survived will have to learn how to LIVE again without the fear of being assaulted or worse !
@@rettosei thats insulting shit, they are absolute atrocious ghastly scoundrel people. I would pay the strongest man alive to bleed and suffer the crap out of them. Thats how fucking pissed i am at this story
They didn't see her as a human. When they were arrested and asked why they tortured her, the leader, Hiroshi, said, "I didn't see her as a human being. Even when she was dead, I didn't care." They only saw her as a toy. How much more evil can a person be??? These are literally demons in human skin.
@@ChrisJones-qy1hq i dont think they just didnt see her as human. They probably despised her to their core. I do not care about most people and think they are subhuman yet i dont go out killing them
I've already heard about this case and yet still after so many years hearing this case gives me shivers...until her last breath it's was pure hell and torture 💔...
What a sad tragic story... A young bright and beautiful girls life snuffed out just because she had the courage to say no and the guy in question couldn’t take rejection. This type of story telling video is great as well Terry, I didn’t mind this style at all. It felt very much like we are all having a conversation with you. Again another exceptionally well done video! 👍👏
I heard about this case and was disgusted. Even one of the guys who hurt her mom ruined the girls grave site and blamed her for ruining her sons life when in fact it's the mothers fault for not raising her son right.
its been years and her case still infuriates me. she got no justice at all. all of her torturers and others involved basically got off with a slap on the wrist. shows how little Japans "justice" system actually cared. may all involved burn in hell though thats too nice for how evil they actually are.
Japan is my on list places to live for an amount of time, when I'll be there in fee years probably I'll do protest and everything in my power to bring them to justice but wish they would perish of suffering illness before I get there or receive a detailed sentence as an exception but with suffering and not painless death
I am not going to lie, out of ALL of the cases that I've been exposed to, it is THIS one that still ranks as the most horrifying and sickening. The events that befall upon Junko Furuta is nothing less that gruesome and fact that she was systematically subjected to these horrific acts of violence only leave feeling disgusted and mortified that a person could do this to another. What happened to Junko Furuta should not had ever occurred; she deserved to had to ability to grow into her future. All life is sacred and no one should be able to take the action to end a life. I truly pray that in her death, she was able to finally find peace and healing to be able to go to the next part of her life. I hope that her family know that she is watching over them and waiting for them to come find her in her next life. I wish them nothing but happiness and prosperity. May no one ever have to suffer like young Junko Furuta did.
I read somewhere that both of her parents died a few years ago from illness or age. The only thing I can hope is that in their next lives, the family (parents and Junko) will reunite, and they'll all live happily together. Junko deserves so much more.
In my country, Malaysia if someone kills someone else intentionally, they get the death penalty(death through hanging) and I'm totally in support of it.
yh same here I'm not sure if it's the same for Malaysia but in most Islamic countries punishment for taking someone's life is a life in return. A life for a life. So yh they're hanged to d3ath and we love that
This case is the only case that I had such emotions towards. I only feel emotions towards animals and children. Nothing really bothers me but this is the only one that truly left me shocked and always on my mind. There’s a movie called Concrete. It’s about her case and it’s horrible (not the movie but the things they did to her and the movie doesn’t even show everything because it’s too much gore). Those men deserved the death penalty and deserve to die in pain. They deserve to endure all the pain they made Junko felt. All because she rejected someone. She fought so hard until she couldn’t anymore… that’s what breaks my heart the most. She’s so beautiful and the world lost a beautiful soul. A soul that was taken away and she never even got to live her life or follow her dreams… that seriously breaks my heart
This is so horrific :( the part where she had the cops on the phone hit a particular way. She was that close to saving herself. When people like this get an equivalent of a slap on the wrist, it’s messed up, and always makes you wonder where people’s heads are at. My condolences to Junko, unfortunately messed up justice systems are universal.
There are evils in this world that we do not understand, cannot understand, how ppl can do harms to others. It is very sad. Thank you sharing this case. She is at peace now and may she be at peace for a long time.
Omg I did. I googled the story. I wish I could unread everything. It's so traumatizing. I can't even imagine the pain she suffered. I wish there was a law that let's people who do stuff like this to others have someone do it to them. They should die the same way.
They mutilated her genitalia with scissors, burning light bulbs and needles. They also threw heavy objects on her belly causing her bladder to explode and intestines to be damaged. They had parties with more then 30 people while junko was chained up in the mid of the party. People pissed and pooped on her (even girls) and guys raped her. Probably all of those guys in one night. They laughed at her face while having a fun time drinking and dancing while she was chained up naked on the floor with poop and piss all over
RIP Junko Furuta. You were such a beautiful girl and a strong fighter and you never got the justice you deserved and you didn't deserve what happened to you. RIP sweet girl. No more suffering.
So far, out of worst case i've ever know, this is the only case that made me traumatized. I remember i read an article about this and i really got goosebumps and feeling nauseus.
I've seen a lot of fucked up shit in my time on the internet, I can eat food while watching a gory movie, but this.. This was too much.. Fuck those guys I hope they fucking suffer for an entire eternity.
For me it was this one and the case of Bianca Lopez, a little baby that was raped and tortured from the day she was born to the day she died 5 months later.
I think this is hands down the ABSOLUTE WORST death I’ve heard of. And before that, there were some serial killer victims that took the spot, though they were leagues away from Junko.😳 This is the only case that I’m happy that someone doxed those human garbage bags. I hope all involved plus those of their families who keep defending them and trashing a murdered highschool girl (that did NOTHING wrong) will forever have to look over their shoulder, and worry about their reputation for the rest of their lives, considering that in Japan especially, your reputation is pretty much everything and can make or break you in society. I also hope that any relationships are impossible due to what they’ve done.
@@jakebiassa no no no no why did I google Brianna Lopez??? A 5-month-old baby?!!! I couldn't even read more than the headlines and the brief summary underneath because it's a baby and I can't. I'm already sick to my stomach. Beaten, bitten and sexually abused?!! WTF is wrong with people??? And here I thought that Junko's case was the worst I had heard of but a 5-month-baby tortured for the whole time she was alive??? Why God why??? I hate you Samantha
I’ve recently learnt about this case from other youtuber. I reacted the same. I was so pissed at this case and those criminals that it made me cry. Poor Junko. I’ll never forget about her. I live in Europe and admire Korea and Japan for it’s technology and beautiful cultures, however I cannot stand it how these countries are dealing with women rights and also mental health. It’s disappointing. I wish it will change in the near future.
Same, like I LOVE Japanese culture. It's very interesting to me, even before I started getting into Anime I was interested. But I hate how sexist Japan can be...
I’ve read before that one of the guys’ brother DID call the police. The police went to the house but they were told that there’s no girl leaving there and they just left… that was much before she tried to call the police.. it’s really sad … About them being tried as juveniles ,even though they were almost 18 ,I guess it has to do with the fact that here in japan you are considered an adult at the age of 20…😓 I might be wrong though
I read about this too, at that point I'm thinking the police just really messed up here. You get a call about a girl being held captive then expect the suspects to admit it???? They should have done a thorough search of the place. I believe it was the leader's parents who lied to them about it. Just sickening. Those parents are extreme failures and cowards.
@@greatminds1017 A similar case happened in Romania A girl called the Police for help, she was kidnapped and similar things that happened to Junko happened to her, but this time it was an old man doing it.. The Police made fun of her on the Phone and took her call as a joke, and when the Police arrived, they only stood at the gate in front of the house, because they didnt have some papers that allowed them to enter, idk how its called in english. They could ve saved the girl, but they choose not to. The amount of torment and torture not only that girl endured, but also other Girls is in human. Im still disgusted about the Police in my country and Police in general, they would hurt others for nothing but never save lifes of innocent people. The case name is the case of Caracal
@@mihay1892that's terrible! Some police shouldn't have their jobs. The paper is an arrest warrant, but under such circumstances he should have been arrested in that instant.
@@greatminds1017 the most disgusting thing is that when the poor girl called the cops, the lady who she got on Phone told her to stop keeping the line busy.... She was litteraly suffering and begging for help and that disgusting piece of human garbage didnt give a fuck.. We live in a sick world.. I just hope that she, Junko and any other girl who went through all this are in a better place now..
Heartbreaking story. This case literally traumatised me. The details of this case make me physically sick. These men are monsters!! RIP Junko Furuta RIP
This story was gut wrenching when I first read it from documents my mom had (shes a lawyer been a lawyer since 1987) I had a full blown panic attack reading this, especially since I live in Japan exactly where these men- no monsters used to live. I was heart broken and knowing that these men are still alive and well sickens me since they probably also have families. If I could I would put them in prison even longer than they were in before. They had no remorse so why should I? Junko Furuta should Rest in heaven I will not be saying Rest In Peace as she will not be able to Rest In Peace knowing these men barely got any punishment for the terrible things they did to this young and innocent girl just because she rejected him. I follow the law but THOSE MEN SHOULD ROT IN HELL
I'm glad you decided to cover this Terry. I'm not usually bothered by most things but this case left me traumatized for a year. She is a wonderful soul and doesn't deserve any of it. Looking for more videos from you!
Firstly great coverage Terry. Thank you for being upset and respectful. To add another layer when you compare the sentences for murder and torture to that of drug usage is absurd.
I literally cannot help but get upset and infuriated when i hear about this case. Like the anger and disappointment i have on everyone that was involved w junko is beyond words and vocabulary.
Thanks for talking about it. Since Corona, attacks on women, children, the elderly and the disabled have increased. Oddly enough, nothing happens to the perpetrators. Even when there are convictions, the penalties are low. A human life doesn't seem to be worth much anymore. Instead of us taking on more consideration and responsibility for the weaker ones, they prefer to close their eyes. That's not the society I want to live in. Hopefully something will change in our society if we talk more about it.
junko was such a badass even for her age bro. she went through so much and she still had the strength despite all of that. she didn't deserve any of that. i really hope and i really fucking wish that she rests in peace and finds solace in the afterlife.
@@kanalmimi seriously, you really cannot call these people human anymore. she was so young and she had to go through all of this just because one wimpy ass mofo couldn't handle a rejection.
@@svety4444 it’s not the wrong word to use, she survived 44 days being tortured over and over, most couldn’t do that. It’s impressive how dedicated she was.
I usually don't comment on videos but yk Terry, when I hear about this case, I just feel an utter boiling rage for the hell that Junko went through by these demons and for what they did, the punishments they received are very very mild and they r still living after all this. Really Japan and Korea need to update their jurisdiction system and laws and punishments with today's time. They should've given some kindoff torture punishment for like 60 days and made them suffer more worse then the poor girl that went through until they begged for their deaths. They should've suffer the same thing so they could've realised from what hell she went through. Idc if they r miniors or affiliated with Yakuza, what they did was absolutely inhumane and the sad thing is after all this, they most probably r still alive and have no remorse whatsoever for their actions.
The fact because they received still short sentences, some of them INCREDIBLY short. And now that all of them are free, 3 out of the 4 have committed multiple crimes since, and are clearly awful things, I won't even call them "people" because despite the wrongs that humans do, what those abhorrent things did to that poor girl completely separate them from humanity I agree with you in them not being worthy of being considered people. That poor poor girl. There are sadly absolutely crimes deserving of the death penalty.
Honestly this case was one of the first major ones I ever heard of. It was heartbreaking. It stayed with me from fourteen, to this day, Junko was a bright girl with so much of a future. She's in a better place now and I hope those boys burn in Hell for what they did. There is a special place in hell for them, but I don't think even the devil wants them there.
Hello brother, I'm Christian and I swear the Lord ... God will not even try to hear a single word from these dudes, they will burn like, you can't even imagine.
There’s a detail that infuriates me and makes me think to myself “what if they went inside?” One of the boys’ brother went and actually told the police department about this around the second week of Junko being held captive there. Two officers went to the house, the parents answered the door and they were asked about this ordeal and informed them about someone reporting this incident. They denied it and were like “that’s nonsense we don’t have anything like that in our house! You can check yourself!” And that’s like a type of manipulation and it’s like “if I offer them to come in that will automatically make me look innocent because why would I let them in if something like that is going around in my house” and the cops took their fucking WORD for it!! LIKE THEY COULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN INSIDE TO ACTUALLY CHECK! Informing the police of someone being captive is SERIOUS! Let alone being held captive AND tortured. They shouldn’t have taken it so lightly… every time this case comes into my mind, I can’t help but think about the what if’s. They truly failed her. May she rest in peace. She suffered so much..
that reminds me of the same thing cops did with jeffrey dahmer. dahmer told the cops the kid that he was going to kill was his boyfriend and they actually believed him. how incompetent
Thank you for having the strength to speak on her tragic story. I couldn’t hold back the tears after hearing about her and what she went through. What I wouldn’t give to go back in time to prevent it…. RIP Junko Furuta
Tysm for covering this case. When I first heard it a while back I was sick to my stomach and you are absolutely correct those boys are monsters. I really like and appreciate the podcast style! It’s definitely my favorite type as I can be up doing things and not have to actually be watching while still enjoy your content!! 🤍
I read about this story on Wikipedia and OMG Awful, just awful what happened to that sweet girl. It stuck with me for a few days and I was so angry with how the Japanese legal system dealt with it. Calling it something like worst case of juvenile delinquency. Like, it went FAR beyond juvenile delinquency. Ugh...I hope her and her family found peace.
I've looked into this case 3 months ago and goddamn is one of the worst crime scenes I've ever heard, it made the case two boys one hammer look like a little ant to this case. The fact that they got a low sentence made my body temperature heat up, Like the law is so unfair. I hope when someone sees them they beat them up, I'm even surprised that one of them got a girlfriend. Probably bought her cause he's so lonely and doesn't have any friends 🙄
IT'S REALLY HEARTBREAKING DUDE....WHATEVER THE PUNISHMENT IS ...IT CAN NEVER BEAT THE PAIN JUNKO HAD YEARS AGO ...AND IT'S SO SO SO EMOTIONAL THAT SHE SUFFERED LIKE THAT WITH THE PAIN WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IN OUR DREAMS ...I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE HECK SHE WAS DEALING WITH THOSE PIECES OF FUCKIN SHIT !!! SHE WAS SO BROKEN PHYSICALLY , MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY , IT'S TERRIBLE !!!
This is truly mindblowing how this girl suffered and how injustice this all was... You are totally right with justice system in those "developed countries". What gives you high-tech and other cool stuff when you can't feel safety and justice in your place?! I really hope this would change in near future.
Considering the court system in Korea, I estimated at least 10 years but I guess it’s even worse than I thought. I hate it when people take advantage of things like having more strength or blackmailing with people the victim loves. And while I totally understand that the owner of the house was wrong, I’d have to say that I kind of understand their situation too. It was over three decades ago and back then, Japan or Korea didn’t really have much interest in human rights or so. Back then, gangsters could be scarier than cops, and the cops wouldn’t have been able to protect anyone the gang was trying to get to. So, I know what they did is wrong but to be honest, I can’t say that I wouldn’t have been like them if I were in the situation.
Hearing the amount of compassion and empathy you had in your voice honestly made me cry. It's kind of refreshing to hear a man express how much a crime to that absolutely unfathomable degree makes their blood boil as well. I've heard so many stories of 'oh this girl got killed cause she rejected a guy's promposal' or this woman got killed because she broke up with her boyfriend. To be honest, at least with the men around me (currently a US college student), they don't really show much empathy or any feeling at all whenever the femicide/SA epidemic is brought up so I appreciate your channel for providing that emotional component as well during your analysis. Your channel has helped to remind me that there are good people, good men out there in this crazy world still, so thank you. RIP Junko, you have been and will continue to be very missed 😔
I read about this case a few years back, and it is still the worst thing I have ever read. Honestly, even the worst information my mind has ever come across. I wish Junko Furuta could've felt some love or comfort from someone between those 44 days and her death, but know she didn't and it's devastating. I also feel for her parents, can you imagine knowing that your child went through 44 days of hell on earth in ways that they could've never imagined? If I were them I would've lost my mind. Indescribably horrific.
what an awfully tragic and heartbreaking story, but thank you for covering it and spreading awareness, i genuinely had never heard of it, but i am definitely as outraged and upset as i feel you are. it's absolutely unforgivable that the judicial system hasn't improved one bit, this type of thing should not even have been taken so lightly back then, but to think that it isn't even that much better now..
The first time I heard about this case was when I was about Junko's age too (15/16). I was traumatised I couldn't even sleep well and thought Junko was watching me. It's really crazy. That was when I was still scared about ghosts and stuff. But yeah. I hope this case get reopen. It's really unfair for Junko to get tortured and die just because she rejected the asshole.
I love this type of video, thanks for coming back. This is a tough case to hear, and justice isn't always served, but at least the whole world knows who they are and how dangerous they are.
I watched the movie “Concrete” Not sure how reliable it was for accuracy. But still was awful seeing what she had to go through. And knowing they didn’t get much of a sentence just angers me.
All these cases make me cry so hard. The fact that any of them were able to get any less than life in prison is absolutely horrifying. As an Indigenous woman, these stories terrify me because so many of these stories happen to us that no one reports or even talks about.
Hey Terry, I'm glad you're back with this topic. I do have to agree about how Japan manages it's judicial system. I heard from one of my japanese students that death penalty is still present in Japan. But hearing this information, it disgusts me how they just throw this case away without giving the justice she TRULY deserves.
this story reminds me that some people just don't hav huminity. and the saying that good will happen to good and bad will happen to bad is totally wrong
Happy that you mentioned this case. It’s so saddening and maddening. Those guys who did that to her are out of jail, are given a new name and supposedly are married now
When I first heard about this case my heart felt like it was tore in half, the main culprit had Yakuza ties apparently that's why no one really did anything as well, sorry to say this if it's too extreme but if there was any reason or excuse for street justice he deserved it in every single way possible, the amount of torture he put that poor girl through makes me wonder just how much more worse the human race can get when they don't get their way, I hope she is resting in peace 😭😭😭😭
I remember watching a documentary regarding random stabbings committed by high school students in Japan. It said the teens intentionally murder or engage in heinous acts before turning 18 because the punishment is just a couple of years in a rehabilitation center that's more or less like Beverly Hills rehab- comfortable and with amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts. Essentially they figure, "why not?"
The whole time I watched this, I also had Gong Ju in my mind. Another tragic story that gets me angry whenever I think about it... I... I get so angry whenever I hear that the ones who should protect the innocent, end up doing nothing or not enough... There was this case in my country, Romania, where a girl was kidnapped and when she called the police they got angry at her for keeping the line busy... If you want to know more, search for "The Caracal Case"...
Wow really!!!! That’s sad. With the “law enforcements” that we have across earth failing so many at any given time. I know it has to make us wonder. Who’s really in charge of these systems and, who does it truly benefit?
I- Absolute shock. Literally crying right now for Junko Furuta. Rest In Peace. God bless her for being such an amazing person. Can't believe monsters like them who believe they have the right to be called humans exist. What scares me the most though is that this could happen to anyone. And...anyone could do what these guys did. It's sickening. Japan, do better.
This case like makes my whole body get goosebumps and I’m also like pretty sad because this girl was being captive and she spent 44 days being tortured. Like I can’t believe humans could do this to humans.
I guessed 5-10 years for the sentence, so I'm glad most of the offenders ended up getting more time. There are so many cases like these where offenders get light sentences, and if the victim lives somehow, the blame gets put on them, and it doesn't help that there are some laws out there that are just cruel towards survivors. As for the people in this case that stayed silent, I can understand in part as they were probably trying to protect their family, and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same, but it would have been nice if they said something even if only for their sake. A life lived at the expense of someone else's happiness isn't a life worth living. Life isn't easy, and in hopes of making themselves feel better, people become complacent and stay silent, thinking that taking no action is okay. Whether we like it or not, behind every choice is a consequence and an intention, even if it's unconscious and unintentional. At the end of the day, we can go out of our way to be kind to someone or we can go out of our way to be cruel to someone. As nice as it would be to sit back and have that gray area where we don't have to do anything, sadly, in most cases, the consequence of complacency is cruelty and the regret and guilt that come after are a heavy burden to bear. Life is too short not to take chances and do something meaningful yet far too long to put yourself through that kind of misery. I can't imagine how much that must have been eating away at them after.
To help you out terry, The way they were caught, it mentioned that two of the boys were suspected of an assault and a similar attempt on a couple of other women that got away. They reported them and when the cops arrested them on suspicion of assault they assumed the cops found junko. During the interrogation, they had no idea what the cops were talking about. They thought the police were mentioning how they found junkos body and they assumed they were busted when in reality they were talking about assault reports. Then they caved in and let all the information out and told the police where junko was.
I had read about this case a while back. I like to think that I have a pretty strong stomach but this case actually made me physically ill. I legit couldn't sleep that night because of the sheer inhuman cruelty displayed here. Junko Furata never got justice and the creatures who committed this vile act got off waaaaay too easy.
Terry! Just when the world needed u most! 💕 I remember this case from top5s. It’s so awful. I can’t even imagine the horror she felt in those last days. It’s so unfair.
I can take a lot of harsh stuff and gore but this story sent chills up my spine and made me deeply upset. Thank you for sharing this story with me I will forever keep her in my memory.
I had to cut a few moments from the video because it kept getting flagged by YT but hope you guys can still enjoy. Please let me know if you like this kind of podcast-style format for the true crime videos! Also I'll be live streaming later tonight on my Twitch channel if you want to come hang out! - www.twitch.tv/terrytvlive

Am early today am so happy u are uploading more videos now
Yes love the podcast type
I really enjoyed it, and actually was really happy to see it was longer and much deeper than the previous! Such a terrible story, but most people outside asia (me included) don't know about this cases and the details you provide about the backround of the countries. And we should if we really want to change. Thank you, and whatever you decide to do, will be waiting for your next video!
Thanks for doing a kidnapping video! Such a sad story but needed to be talked about
Can we also talk about how one of the boys mothers would vandalize her grave because “she ruined my sons life.” This case boils my blood
He ruined her life ,how the hell can her boys actions be tolerated he deserves what’s coming to him😭
Junko ruined her son's life?!! Her son not only took Junko's life, but her dignity and freedom! I understand that he's her son and she loves him very much but let the poor girl rest in peace. She did her no favors when she was a captive and now she's grandstanding like a fool.
@@rettosei ouuuf hahahahahahah
She should join junko in death to apologise to her
IF THEY WERE IN AMERICA EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS CASE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE DEATH PENALTY YOU ARE A DANGER TO SOCIETY AT THAT POINT
The mother who vandalized Junko’s grave also infuriates me. It’s your own sh*tty son’s f*cking fault that his life is ruined, not a dead 16 year-old (who was minding her own business). She didn’t ‘seduce’ him to madness like you keep acting as though she did. HE decided to entrap and kidnap her. HE decided to slowly torture her to death in various ways over the course of 44 goddamn days.
Seriously, why can’t they leave Junko Furuta alone?
He inherited the heartless ness from his mom!

So sad for this... It boils my blood
This murder case by far is one of the most terrible & shocking cases ever reported in Japan. Till this day, it still infuriates many Japanese people like myself. Very upsetting and really questions people's morality and humanity.
I just learned about this and am still in disbelief. How could you ever do this to a person? But I dont regret watching, Atleast im more educated now
@@KydaWoIf wtf why would you say that on a video about such a sad and serious topic and stop fetishizing
I feel these monsters have not been punished enough... NOTHING will ever be enough. Don't Japanese people feel like they deserve at least life in prison? What is the public opinion? They deserve to rot in prison... At least.
@@graziagabriellananna2929 We are mostly shocked and infuriated by the sentences these guys get. If you ask me, I think they should have gotten life imprisonment. Honestly the justice system in Japan is terrible. I wish more could be done for the poor girl. I do agree with Terry here. South Korea and Japan justice systems are generally pathetic, despite how advanced these countries might appear to be. No country is perfect afterall
@@KydaWoIf you were literally fetishizing tho. And how stupid do you have to be to think that was a good comment you say. No sense of respect at all
The mother of the boys can rot too. She used a sledgehammer to destroy Junko’s grave, for “tainting her son’s name.”
Throw his whole relative's in the BIN this is atrocious the police government don't give a shit about us and our youth if they chew up and spit back out people like this.

Man I'm glad someone said it, I'm sure.there would be a lot of people that would join you as well.
@@handsomehandsome9854 these are not human beings, their actions proved that they're demons in human form. they should not be allowed to be free. the crime they commited was not a mistake or murder out of hate, they killed and raped just for the heck of it. they should not be allowed to live any further. as they say "may god forgive you but i will not"
@@rakimu6023 death is no freedom, what comes after death for demons like them is way worse than any punishment on this world. besides, letting them live is a waste of oxygen and tax money.
They will get sent 1000 levels below in hell
"I just want to talk" I would say with an axe in my hand
when her mom found out the details about what Junko gone through, she fainted from shock... like sometimes I'm mortified about what the human kind can do at its worst
Well what we do is objectively worst, to animals, to other humans and anything that will come
@Laxman Tiwari tf… not something to be proud of
@Laxman Tiwari it's not hard not to be misogynistic. Just treat women like humans. Don't say or do things to them you don't want to yourself. Treat others how you wanna be treated regardless of how they look
@Laxman Tiwari your willing to admit thatv
@Laxman Tiwari Do you think you have?
As a woman, the details of this case make me physically sick. It’s so frustrating that laws are still so backward regardless of how advanced we have become. Thank you for finally talking about it. Even death sentence would not be enough to avenge all the unspeakable things these vile creatures did.
This case took place in the 80's
this world hates women - beware of men at all times.
Same. I cannot think of any punishment severe enough for the dirty trash that did this. The best I can come up with is to cut their junk off and shove it down their throats, while live-streaming and making sure everyone knows who they are, of course.
@@pickle-STDS Japan is still kinda backwards though, just look at the stigmatization of divorced women.
We can only hope that the rest of their lives are a living hell. It will never be the same as The living hell Junko Furuta suffered, but since Japan is a HIGHLY reputation based society, and those sick bastards have been doxed (in the last decade by a journalist, if I remember right), they won’t be able to escape it under anonymity. It will a burden that they can’t unload. And That kind of disturbed character doesn’t just mellow out with time.
And yes, it horrified me as a woman as well. I remember hearing about this in my highschool years, and I was a teenage girl at the time to. 😓
I’m not exaggerating that the details made me nauseated, and I had this sick chilly feeling for a while. I couldn’t fathom the agony of living that for even a day or to, let alone 44 f*cking days. And then the thought of having my corpse be disposed of like a victim of a goddamn serial killer or some cartel/mafia. By some who were fellow teenagers, and some of which were classmates.😳😰
This case literally traumatised me and my best friend. We stayed up all night talking on the phone cause we couldn't sleep. In the morning we both threw up... RIP Furata Junko
Bruh 😂
@@fortford2776 maybe it sounds comical but it really wasn't.
@@sophie-rosella2517 it doesn't sound comical in any ways i couldn't sleep for two weeks after hearing about this case for the first time

Ok. This case had made me afraid and weak for 10 days. I was always scared. Couldn't sleep for a week properly.
I’m so glad that your posting again Terry and this is such a heartbreaking story 🥲🤍
I know 😔
more like infuriating
Yeah.. and sad
I read the entire 44 days in hell article and day by day analysis of what happened about half a decade ago. And when i tell you it made me sick and nauseated and not even sure what to do with my thoughts, it was no joke. And then it made me think, If I could get so horrified reading it, what on earth did she feel. It is beyond imagination and sympathy/empathy, i cannot even put myself in her shoes, no one really can at al. You start to wonder if feeling sorry is even worth it because theres nothing you can do or couldve done, which at end makes you bury your head in your hands wondering how some humans could even withstand inflicting this torture onto someone else. I definitely cannot fathom this tragic, horrific, life slaughtering, premeditated horror. And to find out the people behind it are rather scott free than having a LIFE sentence. Then to find out there are mangas made of it that actually sexualize it more than give it justice. Horrific. This is one time while reading 4 days daily occurences that i actually said 'please die, stop surviving'. And even she did survive all of this, her brain was already reduced to a size beyond compare due to avid and unimaginable distress, even making it out of this, wouldve continued to haunt her or damage her livelihood.
The fact that they made those kinds of Mangas and entertainment sexualizing it, those people deserve to not exist
can you tell me where can i read the full article ... or can you post any link or something
@@astitavsharma9216 no please don't read the article. you'll traumatize yourself and you wont be able to sleep for days. because trust me, even just saying the word "junko" gives me nausea
@@yvviso i have read some similar articles ,trust me i can take it anway i know the conext so please tell me where can i get the full article.
@@astitavsharma9216 That’s what I thought too. But I read about her case when I was like 18-19 years old. And even now, at 31 it still haunts me. Every time I see her picture or see her name, I remember her story. It just never leaves you, ever 😭
Nobody deserves this... You are really brave by telling her story without crying... Those actions are inhumane... Laws should be changed like people know what they are doing and saying they are minors is messed up....they can distinguish right from wrong that's enough.. This case should be reopened again and be sentenced to death
I feel like it the reasons they don't want to reopen the case to put fear in women to show the men have power. Just like
rape. Why?
I always never understand how rape can be a culture, But then I remember How Government want workers if women don't want kids. So basically they benefits from it.
they deserve this
Nah. Life sentence without parole in solidarity confinement . Death is a quick exit from life
@@me_sad god exist and he will punish them worst
There are all in there 40s to 50s right know what are they thinking ? Go do the
Judge right know !
I remember reading an article about her and It was heart breaking those men deserve the worst
Ye
I remember finding this case by accident and crying, not just a few tears, but full sobs. There are so many terrible cases but this one really breaks my heart. I can’t even imagine her suffering.
I cried and cried , her story breaks my heart in millions of pieces. The most horrific story I have ever heard considering I have seen hundreds of serial killers documentaries and crime stories . Rip junko
I’m so glad you spoke about this case I studied it when I was in Japan and even now 15 years later I just can’t wrap my head around what happened to this girl ! I’m in Seoul now and I believe that both in Japan and South Korea this type of cases are not « taken seriously » and the perpetrators get light sentences no matter how horrific the crimes are.
We should remember her she deserves that because she didn’t just died she lived in hell for 44 days
The Nayoung case from South Korea is another one that shows how these cases aren't taken seriously. The criminal was released from prison a year ago and still walking freely to this day.
@@M2BLAQ I was in Korea at the time and it was taken very seriously by civilians. They were about to abolish the death penalty and people were arguing for it to be used for him (I believe he was chemically castrated in prison?). People were pissed off.
Of course what civilians want and what the government/legal system does don't always match up....
@@MissJoy16 civilians take it seriously but the actual people that deals with criminals doesn't. That man was known to be a criminal and had charges against him before the Nayoung case but he was still able to walk free. If they didn't let him out on the streets, Nayoung wouldn't have become another one of his victims. Same goes for a lot of other cases like this where the judges give these criminals a slap on the hand despite doing horrible things.
@@M2BLAQ Yes they are so many cases I’ve gone over 50 or so in Japan and it was just mind blowing how someone who took a life in the worst way possible gets like 5-6 years and then has a reduced sentence !
It’s the same in Korea the last one I followed thoroughly was the rapist who got 12 years Fr rapping an 8 years old he should get life his wife WAITED for him if it was my husband I would divorce him and kill him. As someone living in Korea the laws are just unbelievable a rapist gets as much as someone who smoked marijuana ! We saw that we the burning sun they got 6 years then after a retrial it was reduced to 5 years and Seungri I think just went to the army im not sure he got jail time ! They are plenty of cases like this and NO ONE feels like it’s sickening it sets an example for men and women killers/rapists. Just do it you’ll get a slap on the wrist but please don’t speak marijuana because it’s such a heinous crime ! I love Korea don’t get me wrong but once someone crossed the line he/she will do it again and maybe it will escalate they should learn from the past cases and make a damn change to make sure that monsters are either given the death penalty or life without parole ! I have no oh he/she can change they made that choice when they could have walked away !
So no no sympathy or empathy on my part sounds harsh but as rape victim even over 20 years I still have nightmares and can’t trust men easily ! I talk from experience and these victims the one who survived will have to learn how to LIVE again without the fear of being assaulted or worse !
I’m not glad
This case has shook me to my core and rethink humanity.
These are not human but demons in human skin

@@ChrisJones-qy1hq Yea, they deserved the worst way of dying. Why didnt they give them worse punishments..

I've already heard about this case and yet still after so many years hearing this case gives me shivers...until her last breath it's was pure hell and torture 💔...
Yh
What a sad tragic story... A young bright and beautiful girls life snuffed out just because she had the courage to say no and the guy in question couldn’t take rejection. This type of story telling video is great as well Terry, I didn’t mind this style at all. It felt very much like we are all having a conversation with you. Again another exceptionally well done video! 👍👏
Yep
I heard about this case and was disgusted. Even one of the guys who hurt her mom ruined the girls grave site and blamed her for ruining her sons life when in fact it's the mothers fault for not raising her son right.
Yeah
its been years and her case still infuriates me. she got no justice at all. all of her torturers and others involved basically got off with a slap on the wrist. shows how little Japans "justice" system actually cared. may all involved burn in hell though thats too nice for how evil they actually are.
Japan is my on list places to live for an amount of time, when I'll be there in fee years probably I'll do protest and everything in my power to bring them to justice but wish they would perish of suffering illness before I get there or receive a detailed sentence as an exception but with suffering and not painless death
I have little to no hope in humanity
I am not going to lie, out of ALL of the cases that I've been exposed to, it is THIS one that still ranks as the most horrifying and sickening. The events that befall upon Junko Furuta is nothing less that gruesome and fact that she was systematically subjected to these horrific acts of violence only leave feeling disgusted and mortified that a person could do this to another. What happened to Junko Furuta should not had ever occurred; she deserved to had to ability to grow into her future. All life is sacred and no one should be able to take the action to end a life. I truly pray that in her death, she was able to finally find peace and healing to be able to go to the next part of her life. I hope that her family know that she is watching over them and waiting for them to come find her in her next life. I wish them nothing but happiness and prosperity. May no one ever have to suffer like young Junko Furuta did.
I read somewhere that both of her parents died a few years ago from illness or age. The only thing I can hope is that in their next lives, the family (parents and Junko) will reunite, and they'll all live happily together. Junko deserves so much more.
In my country, Malaysia if someone kills someone else intentionally, they get the death penalty(death through hanging) and I'm totally in support of it.
I wish that would happen everywhere :(
I'm so glad i have a visa! I'm going there with my family duhh
I agree with you 100% unless it's in self defense
yh same here I'm not sure if it's the same for Malaysia but in most Islamic countries punishment for taking someone's life is a life in return. A life for a life. So yh they're hanged to d3ath and we love that
This is why I want the death penalty everywhere.
Poor girl she suffered so much. These men are monsters and justice was Not served may she be resting in peace 🕊️
Yea
This case is the only case that I had such emotions towards. I only feel emotions towards animals and children. Nothing really bothers me but this is the only one that truly left me shocked and always on my mind. There’s a movie called Concrete. It’s about her case and it’s horrible (not the movie but the things they did to her and the movie doesn’t even show everything because it’s too much gore). Those men deserved the death penalty and deserve to die in pain. They deserve to endure all the pain they made Junko felt. All because she rejected someone. She fought so hard until she couldn’t anymore… that’s what breaks my heart the most. She’s so beautiful and the world lost a beautiful soul. A soul that was taken away and she never even got to live her life or follow her dreams… that seriously breaks my heart
Btw, i would love if you did more of these types of videos. I like long videos

This is so horrific :( the part where she had the cops on the phone hit a particular way. She was that close to saving herself. When people like this get an equivalent of a slap on the wrist, it’s messed up, and always makes you wonder where people’s heads are at. My condolences to Junko, unfortunately messed up justice systems are universal.
Fr
There are evils in this world that we do not understand, cannot understand, how ppl can do harms to others. It is very sad. Thank you sharing this case. She is at peace now and may she be at peace for a long time.
It’s so tragic. I don’t recommend looking up what they did to her
Omg I did. I googled the story. I wish I could unread everything. It's so traumatizing. I can't even imagine the pain she suffered. I wish there was a law that let's people who do stuff like this to others have someone do it to them. They should die the same way.
too late..
They mutilated her genitalia with scissors, burning light bulbs and needles. They also threw heavy objects on her belly causing her bladder to explode and intestines to be damaged. They had parties with more then 30 people while junko was chained up in the mid of the party. People pissed and pooped on her (even girls) and guys raped her. Probably all of those guys in one night. They laughed at her face while having a fun time drinking and dancing while she was chained up naked on the floor with poop and piss all over
@@zuyu2 definitely not. It's so sick and really made me sad. Idk how anyone can go thru the amount of torture she went thru. Such a sad story. 😔
RIP Junko Furuta. You were such a beautiful girl and a strong fighter and you never got the justice you deserved and you didn't deserve what happened to you. RIP sweet girl. No more suffering.
Rest easy, Junko Furuta
She went through all that just to let the people who hurt her go that easy. Is just unfair, but I hope she feel free now. Rest in peace :)
She was just 17, born: January 18th, 1971 died: January 4th, 1989
So far, out of worst case i've ever know, this is the only case that made me traumatized. I remember i read an article about this and i really got goosebumps and feeling nauseus.
Its not even that bad lol.Who cares lol?She wasnt killed by ISIS
I've seen a lot of fucked up shit in my time on the internet, I can eat food while watching a gory movie, but this.. This was too much..
Fuck those guys I hope they fucking suffer for an entire eternity.
For me it was this one and the case of Bianca Lopez, a little baby that was raped and tortured from the day she was born to the day she died 5 months later.
I hate how other people just can't take rejection.
I think this is hands down the ABSOLUTE WORST death I’ve heard of. And before that, there were some serial killer victims that took the spot, though they were leagues away from Junko.😳
This is the only case that I’m happy that someone doxed those human garbage bags. I hope all involved plus those of their families who keep defending them and trashing a murdered highschool girl (that did NOTHING wrong) will forever have to look over their shoulder, and worry about their reputation for the rest of their lives, considering that in Japan especially, your reputation is pretty much everything and can make or break you in society.
I also hope that any relationships are impossible due to what they’ve done.
This case and the case of little Briana Lopez are the ones that have traumatized me the most.
@@jakebiassa no no no no why did I google Brianna Lopez??? A 5-month-old baby?!!! I couldn't even read more than the headlines and the brief summary underneath because it's a baby and I can't. I'm already sick to my stomach. Beaten, bitten and sexually abused?!! WTF is wrong with people??? And here I thought that Junko's case was the worst I had heard of but a 5-month-baby tortured for the whole time she was alive??? Why God why??? I hate you Samantha
I've heard about this when I was 7 years old and was mortified. Didn't understand a lot of it until later on but still made my bones shiver.
We must honor Junko by telling her story and making sure it never happens again.
SAY HER NAME Rest In Power Saint Junko
She was a year younger than me and when I searched up what happened I cried so hard I feel soo sorry no one should be targeted for saying no
I’ve recently learnt about this case from other youtuber. I reacted the same. I was so pissed at this case and those criminals that it made me cry. Poor Junko. I’ll never forget about her. I live in Europe and admire Korea and Japan for it’s technology and beautiful cultures, however I cannot stand it how these countries are dealing with women rights and also mental health. It’s disappointing. I wish it will change in the near future.
Same, like I LOVE Japanese culture. It's very interesting to me, even before I started getting into Anime I was interested. But I hate how sexist Japan can be...
I'm so glad you're uploading more frequently these days . Hope you're doing well :)
I’ve read before that one of the guys’ brother DID call the police. The police went to the house but they were told that there’s no girl leaving there and they just left… that was much before she tried to call the police.. it’s really sad …
About them being tried as juveniles ,even though they were almost 18 ,I guess it has to do with the fact that here in japan you are considered an adult at the age of 20…😓 I might be wrong though
I read about this too, at that point I'm thinking the police just really messed up here. You get a call about a girl being held captive then expect the suspects to admit it???? They should have done a thorough search of the place. I believe it was the leader's parents who lied to them about it. Just sickening. Those parents are extreme failures and cowards.
In Japan at that time yes, you weren't and adult until you were 20 y/o. They did change that law recently, so it was most likely because of that
@@greatminds1017 A similar case happened in Romania
A girl called the Police for help, she was kidnapped and similar things that happened to Junko happened to her, but this time it was an old man doing it..
The Police made fun of her on the Phone and took her call as a joke, and when the Police arrived, they only stood at the gate in front of the house, because they didnt have some papers that allowed them to enter, idk how its called in english.
They could ve saved the girl, but they choose not to. The amount of torment and torture not only that girl endured, but also other Girls is in human.
Im still disgusted about the Police in my country and Police in general, they would hurt others for nothing but never save lifes of innocent people.
The case name is the case of Caracal
@@mihay1892that's terrible! Some police shouldn't have their jobs. The paper is an arrest warrant, but under such circumstances he should have been arrested in that instant.
@@greatminds1017 the most disgusting thing is that when the poor girl called the cops, the lady who she got on Phone told her to stop keeping the line busy.... She was litteraly suffering and begging for help and that disgusting piece of human garbage didnt give a fuck.. We live in a sick world..
I just hope that she, Junko and any other girl who went through all this are in a better place now..
It’s scary to know that they are out of jail and roaming freely.
We should spend our lives finding them.
Heartbreaking story. This case literally traumatised me. The details of this case make me physically sick. These men are monsters!! RIP Junko Furuta RIP
This story was gut wrenching when I first read it from documents my mom had (shes a lawyer been a lawyer since 1987) I had a full blown panic attack reading this, especially since I live in Japan exactly where these men- no monsters used to live. I was heart broken and knowing that these men are still alive and well sickens me since they probably also have families. If I could I would put them in prison even longer than they were in before. They had no remorse so why should I? Junko Furuta should Rest in heaven I will not be saying Rest In Peace as she will not be able to Rest In Peace knowing these men barely got any punishment for the terrible things they did to this young and innocent girl just because she rejected him. I follow the law but THOSE MEN SHOULD ROT IN HELL
I’ve never heard of this case before but my gosh it boils my blood. It’s so heartbreaking what happened to this girl.
I cried soooo much, she really didn’t deserve that at all. Those boys should endure the same pain that they made her go through. Terrible.
more pain
Sadly they're all roaming free in Japan today
I'm glad you decided to cover this Terry. I'm not usually bothered by most things but this case left me traumatized for a year. She is a wonderful soul and doesn't deserve any of it. Looking for more videos from you!
Firstly great coverage Terry. Thank you for being upset and respectful.
To add another layer when you compare the sentences for murder and torture to that of drug usage is absurd.
I'm so glad you finally covered this...truly a heartbreaking and disgusting story....hard to believe it actually happened..
I literally cannot help but get upset and infuriated when i hear about this case. Like the anger and disappointment i have on everyone that was involved w junko is beyond words and vocabulary.
Thanks for talking about it.
Since Corona, attacks on women, children, the elderly and the disabled have increased. Oddly enough, nothing happens to the perpetrators. Even when there are convictions, the penalties are low. A human life doesn't seem to be worth much anymore. Instead of us taking on more consideration and responsibility for the weaker ones, they prefer to close their eyes.
That's not the society I want to live in.
Hopefully something will change in our society if we talk more about it.
junko was such a badass even for her age bro. she went through so much and she still had the strength despite all of that. she didn't deserve any of that. i really hope and i really fucking wish that she rests in peace and finds solace in the afterlife.
Yeah. 44 days?! Thats impressive, she managed to go through that for more than a month. But still its so sad :(
@@kanalmimi seriously, you really cannot call these people human anymore. she was so young and she had to go through all of this just because one wimpy ass mofo couldn't handle a rejection.
@@kanalmimi idk if impressive is the right word to use here
@@svety4444 it’s not the wrong word to use, she survived 44 days being tortured over and over, most couldn’t do that. It’s impressive how dedicated she was.
Agreed. So sad. So sad. @@svety4444
I usually don't comment on videos but yk Terry, when I hear about this case, I just feel an utter boiling rage for the hell that Junko went through by these demons and for what they did, the punishments they received are very very mild and they r still living after all this. Really Japan and Korea need to update their jurisdiction system and laws and punishments with today's time. They should've given some kindoff torture punishment for like 60 days and made them suffer more worse then the poor girl that went through until they begged for their deaths. They should've suffer the same thing so they could've realised from what hell she went through. Idc if they r miniors or affiliated with Yakuza, what they did was absolutely inhumane and the sad thing is after all this, they most probably r still alive and have no remorse whatsoever for their actions.
Ye
The fact because they received still short sentences, some of them INCREDIBLY short.
And now that all of them are free, 3 out of the 4 have committed multiple crimes since, and are clearly awful things, I won't even call them "people" because despite the wrongs that humans do, what those abhorrent things did to that poor girl completely separate them from humanity I agree with you in them not being worthy of being considered people.
That poor poor girl.
There are sadly absolutely crimes deserving of the death penalty.
Honestly this case was one of the first major ones I ever heard of. It was heartbreaking. It stayed with me from fourteen, to this day, Junko was a bright girl with so much of a future. She's in a better place now and I hope those boys burn in Hell for what they did. There is a special place in hell for them, but I don't think even the devil wants them there.
NOT EVEN SATAN WILL WANT HIM
Hello brother, I'm Christian and I swear the Lord ... God will not even try to hear a single word from these dudes, they will burn like, you can't even imagine.
also the fact that jo ogura's mom vandalized junko's grave because she "ruined her son's life"... wtf??
Ikr? How did she even "ruin his life" when HE was the one in fault?!
@Ruby Ramirez How didn't the girl's mother start a genocide of their entire family already? I would be so fucking angry
@Ruby Ramirez Japan had no laws on grave desecration until after Junko's case.
This is the saddest thing I've ever heard. Junko Furuta didn't deserve that at all. RIP Junko Furuta.
She was forced to pose as one of the gang’s girlfriend, held captive at the house in Adachi, Japan
At this point calling them human would be a crime, for what they've done.
There’s a detail that infuriates me and makes me think to myself “what if they went inside?”
One of the boys’ brother went and actually told the police department about this around the second week of Junko being held captive there. Two officers went to the house, the parents answered the door and they were asked about this ordeal and informed them about someone reporting this incident. They denied it and were like “that’s nonsense we don’t have anything like that in our house! You can check yourself!” And that’s like a type of manipulation and it’s like “if I offer them to come in that will automatically make me look innocent because why would I let them in if something like that is going around in my house” and the cops took their fucking WORD for it!! LIKE THEY COULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN INSIDE TO ACTUALLY CHECK! Informing the police of someone being captive is SERIOUS! Let alone being held captive AND tortured. They shouldn’t have taken it so lightly… every time this case comes into my mind, I can’t help but think about the what if’s. They truly failed her. May she rest in peace. She suffered so much..
Also, we miss you, Terry! I hope you’re doing okay. Take care of yourself ❤️
they were terrified enough by the yakuza
that reminds me of the same thing cops did with jeffrey dahmer. dahmer told the cops the kid that he was going to kill was his boyfriend and they actually believed him. how incompetent
Thank you for having the strength to speak on her tragic story. I couldn’t hold back the tears after hearing about her and what she went through. What I wouldn’t give to go back in time to prevent it…. RIP Junko Furuta
Tysm for covering this case. When I first heard it a while back I was sick to my stomach and you are absolutely correct those boys are monsters.
I really like and appreciate the podcast style! It’s definitely my favorite type as I can be up doing things and not have to actually be watching while still enjoy your content!! 🤍
Junko's name means pure child,which she remained till the very end...
REST IN PEACE, OUR BELOVED ANGEL,
JUNKO FURUTA 🙏🙏🙏
I read about this story on Wikipedia and OMG Awful, just awful what happened to that sweet girl. It stuck with me for a few days and I was so angry with how the Japanese legal system dealt with it. Calling it something like worst case of juvenile delinquency. Like, it went FAR beyond juvenile delinquency. Ugh...I hope her and her family found peace.
I've looked into this case 3 months ago and goddamn is one of the worst crime scenes I've ever heard, it made the case two boys one hammer look like a little ant to this case.
The fact that they got a low sentence made my body temperature heat up, Like the law is so unfair.
I hope when someone sees them they beat them up, I'm even surprised that one of them got a girlfriend. Probably bought her cause he's so lonely and doesn't have any friends 🙄
IT'S REALLY HEARTBREAKING DUDE....WHATEVER THE PUNISHMENT IS ...IT CAN NEVER BEAT THE PAIN JUNKO HAD YEARS AGO ...AND IT'S SO SO SO EMOTIONAL THAT SHE SUFFERED LIKE THAT WITH THE PAIN WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IN OUR DREAMS ...I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THE HECK SHE WAS DEALING WITH THOSE PIECES OF FUCKIN SHIT !!! SHE WAS SO BROKEN PHYSICALLY , MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY , IT'S TERRIBLE !!!
This is truly mindblowing how this girl suffered and how injustice this all was... You are totally right with justice system in those "developed countries". What gives you high-tech and other cool stuff when you can't feel safety and justice in your place?! I really hope this would change in near future.
Considering the court system in Korea, I estimated at least 10 years but I guess it’s even worse than I thought. I hate it when people take advantage of things like having more strength or blackmailing with people the victim loves.
And while I totally understand that the owner of the house was wrong, I’d have to say that I kind of understand their situation too. It was over three decades ago and back then, Japan or Korea didn’t really have much interest in human rights or so. Back then, gangsters could be scarier than cops, and the cops wouldn’t have been able to protect anyone the gang was trying to get to. So, I know what they did is wrong but to be honest, I can’t say that I wouldn’t have been like them if I were in the situation.
That's a good point! Thanks for providing insight to their perspective Yujin!
Hearing the amount of compassion and empathy you had in your voice honestly made me cry. It's kind of refreshing to hear a man express how much a crime to that absolutely unfathomable degree makes their blood boil as well. I've heard so many stories of 'oh this girl got killed cause she rejected a guy's promposal' or this woman got killed because she broke up with her boyfriend. To be honest, at least with the men around me (currently a US college student), they don't really show much empathy or any feeling at all whenever the femicide/SA epidemic is brought up so I appreciate your channel for providing that emotional component as well during your analysis. Your channel has helped to remind me that there are good people, good men out there in this crazy world still, so thank you.
RIP Junko, you have been and will continue to be very missed 😔
I read about this case a few years back, and it is still the worst thing I have ever read. Honestly, even the worst information my mind has ever come across. I wish Junko Furuta could've felt some love or comfort from someone between those 44 days and her death, but know she didn't and it's devastating. I also feel for her parents, can you imagine knowing that your child went through 44 days of hell on earth in ways that they could've never imagined? If I were them I would've lost my mind. Indescribably horrific.
the court should have made them go through what they did to junko
they really didn't deserve human rights at that point
what an awfully tragic and heartbreaking story, but thank you for covering it and spreading awareness, i genuinely had never heard of it, but i am definitely as outraged and upset as i feel you are. it's absolutely unforgivable that the judicial system hasn't improved one bit, this type of thing should not even have been taken so lightly back then, but to think that it isn't even that much better now..
The first time I heard about this case was when I was about Junko's age too (15/16). I was traumatised I couldn't even sleep well and thought Junko was watching me. It's really crazy. That was when I was still scared about ghosts and stuff. But yeah. I hope this case get reopen. It's really unfair for Junko to get tortured and die just because she rejected the asshole.
I love this type of video, thanks for coming back. This is a tough case to hear, and justice isn't always served, but at least the whole world knows who they are and how dangerous they are.
I watched the movie “Concrete” Not sure how reliable it was for accuracy. But still was awful seeing what she had to go through. And knowing they didn’t get much of a sentence just angers me.
All these cases make me cry so hard. The fact that any of them were able to get any less than life in prison is absolutely horrifying. As an Indigenous woman, these stories terrify me because so many of these stories happen to us that no one reports or even talks about.
Hey Terry, I'm glad you're back with this topic. I do have to agree about how Japan manages it's judicial system. I heard from one of my japanese students that death penalty is still present in Japan. But hearing this information, it disgusts me how they just throw this case away without giving the justice she TRULY deserves.
I always end up crying when I think about what happened to Junko and how the case was handled. I feel so upset. I hope she is in heaven.
This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have ever heard
Junko, rest in peace. A tormented soul that still shines bright in the stars, finally free from all that pain. Truly, rest, in peace 💔💔🕊️
Agreed. What a horrible case this was. Atleast she's free now.
this story reminds me that some people just don't hav huminity. and the saying that good will happen to good and bad will happen to bad is totally wrong
I feel so bad for her, this case is kinda like the Hello Kitty case in HK, where a woman got tortured to death
Happy that you mentioned this case. It’s so saddening and maddening. Those guys who did that to her are out of jail, are given a new name and supposedly are married now
I’m glad your posting again Terry. This story made me cry. RIP Junko
I remember finding this case about 6-7 months. I cried alot!! This girl deserved justice!!
RIP JUNKO!!
When I first heard about this case my heart felt like it was tore in half, the main culprit had Yakuza ties apparently that's why no one really did anything as well, sorry to say this if it's too extreme but if there was any reason or excuse for street justice he deserved it in every single way possible, the amount of torture he put that poor girl through makes me wonder just how much more worse the human race can get when they don't get their way, I hope she is resting in peace 😭😭😭😭
The Hongkong hello kitty case is as terrifying. Also the Vince Lee case where a guy cut up and ate a stranger in full view of other bus commuters.
The human mind is an awesome but dark and scary place at the same time. This case is upsetting on so many levels... Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching a documentary regarding random stabbings committed by high school students in Japan. It said the teens intentionally murder or engage in heinous acts before turning 18 because the punishment is just a couple of years in a rehabilitation center that's more or less like Beverly Hills rehab- comfortable and with amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts. Essentially they figure, "why not?"
Glad to see you back Terry but oh man this is such a sad thing to have happened to a girl so young. Makes us question how people turn into monsters!
People who disrespect lives do not deserve one.
The whole time I watched this, I also had Gong Ju in my mind. Another tragic story that gets me angry whenever I think about it...
I... I get so angry whenever I hear that the ones who should protect the innocent, end up doing nothing or not enough...
There was this case in my country, Romania, where a girl was kidnapped and when she called the police they got angry at her for keeping the line busy...
If you want to know more, search for "The Caracal Case"...
Wow really!!!! That’s sad. With the “law enforcements” that we have across earth failing so many at any given time. I know it has to make us wonder. Who’s really in charge of these systems and, who does it truly benefit?
I- Absolute shock. Literally crying right now for Junko Furuta. Rest In Peace. God bless her for being such an amazing person. Can't believe monsters like them who believe they have the right to be called humans exist. What scares me the most though is that this could happen to anyone. And...anyone could do what these guys did. It's sickening. Japan, do better.
I read about this a few years ago, absolutely disgusting.
This case like makes my whole body get goosebumps and I’m also like pretty sad because this girl was being captive and she spent 44 days being tortured. Like I can’t believe humans could do this to humans.
I guessed 5-10 years for the sentence, so I'm glad most of the offenders ended up getting more time. There are so many cases like these where offenders get light sentences, and if the victim lives somehow, the blame gets put on them, and it doesn't help that there are some laws out there that are just cruel towards survivors. As for the people in this case that stayed silent, I can understand in part as they were probably trying to protect their family, and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same, but it would have been nice if they said something even if only for their sake. A life lived at the expense of someone else's happiness isn't a life worth living. Life isn't easy, and in hopes of making themselves feel better, people become complacent and stay silent, thinking that taking no action is okay. Whether we like it or not, behind every choice is a consequence and an intention, even if it's unconscious and unintentional. At the end of the day, we can go out of our way to be kind to someone or we can go out of our way to be cruel to someone. As nice as it would be to sit back and have that gray area where we don't have to do anything, sadly, in most cases, the consequence of complacency is cruelty and the regret and guilt that come after are a heavy burden to bear. Life is too short not to take chances and do something meaningful yet far too long to put yourself through that kind of misery. I can't imagine how much that must have been eating away at them after.
When I heard this crime, I was scared for days...how can someone do these.
When I first read this in 2020 I literally couldn't sleep or think properly for a week, And got depressed for a month. It really scared me. Rip junko💔
To help you out terry, The way they were caught, it mentioned that two of the boys were suspected of an assault and a similar attempt on a couple of other women that got away. They reported them and when the cops arrested them on suspicion of assault they assumed the cops found junko. During the interrogation, they had no idea what the cops were talking about. They thought the police were mentioning how they found junkos body and they assumed they were busted when in reality they were talking about assault reports. Then they caved in and let all the information out and told the police where junko was.
I had read about this case a while back. I like to think that I have a pretty strong stomach but this case actually made me physically ill. I legit couldn't sleep that night because of the sheer inhuman cruelty displayed here. Junko Furata never got justice and the creatures who committed this vile act got off waaaaay too easy.
Terry! Just when the world needed u most! 💕
I remember this case from top5s. It’s so awful. I can’t even imagine the horror she felt in those last days. It’s so unfair.
I can take a lot of harsh stuff and gore but this story sent chills up my spine and made me deeply upset. Thank you for sharing this story with me I will forever keep her in my memory.
