> Students nabbed over naked romp at railway station in Yokohama

October 14, 2009 YOKOHAMA — Ten advertising club members of Keio University have been reported to prosecutors after filming themselves running around naked at a railway station here.

Police reported the 18- and 19-year-old first-year students — nine boys and a girl — to the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office on Tuesday on suspicion of public indecency.

Police accuse the students of behaving indecently at Hiyoshi Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line near the university’s Hiyoshi campus at around 4:15 a.m. on Sept. 20. The male students were reportedly shouting and running around naked in a station passage, while the girl was videotaping them.

The 10 have reportedly admitted to the charges, saying: “We wanted to create fun memories at the end of our freshman summer.”

The station was still closed when the incident occurred, but the students were able to access the passage freely. Police received an emergency call from a passer-by, saying that naked men were making noises there.

The students apparently started filming themselves in their underwear in an attempt to take funny footage; however, their antics escalated, investigators said.

“We are deeply sorry for what have happened. We will provide guidance to the students,” a university official said.
