Two members of a group of so-called ``men's underground idols'' who perform idol activities mainly at live houses were arrested for committing obscene acts against high school girls.
One person has denied the charges.
Ryoya Tanabe, 25, from Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, and Koichiro Honda, 22, from Chofu, were arrested.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Suspect Tanabe committed an obscene act on a female student who was in her first year of high school at a hotel in Shibuya Ward in March last year. He is suspected of violating the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance for Healthy Youth Development by committing an obscene act against a 17-year-old third-year high school girl at a cafe in the ward.
The two are said to belong to a so-called "men's underground idol" group that performs idol activities mainly at live houses.
Among them, it seems that Tanabe was inviting the female students by saying "Let's hang out", and the female students paid about 3 million yen for taking pictures.
In response to the investigation, Tanabe has denied the allegations.
Regarding "Men's Underground Idols" etc., the Metropolitan Police Department has received consultations from parents and others that "children are spending a lot of money", and last year there were more than 50 cases, more than three times as many as the year before. .
