Mainichi has the report:
JR West employee busted for flashing private parts on trainNISHINOMIYA, Hyogo—An employee of West Japan Railway Co. (JR West) has been arrested for flashing his private parts on a Hankyu Corp. train, police said.
Norio Imasaka, 50, who works for JR West’s Osaka construction office, undid his pants and exposed his private parts on a Hankyu Takarazuka Line train running between Juso and Toyonaka stations on late Saturday night.
Officers arrested Imasaka at Hibarigaoka-Hanayashiki Station in Takarazuka.
Imasaka was apparently drunk at that time and said he didn’t remember what he did on the train. (Mainichi)
This looks like your typical exposure case (sorry no insights into the exotic world of Japanese perversion, this seems more like what a healthy dose of alcohol will do to an already weakened mind), but what makes it stand out to this blogger is that he was arrested right where I used to go to school.

Did you go to Hibarigaoka Gakuen then? Oooh, posh! I actually currently live right by the station too.

My current commuter Seibu Shinjyuku line was under the threat of a suicide bomber according to the news.This guy had learned how to make a bomb equivalent of the one used in the London Underground bombing from internet and bought the sufficient materials from the nearby “home center”.The prosecutor thinks the suspect was thinking about detonating the bomb somewhere between Sagi-nomiya and Takada-no-baba…..

I hadn’t seen that story. What sort of motive did he have? Just a random crazy?

He wanted to “avenge”people who have jobs,or so says the news.
