The "noisy old lady" reminded me of the behavior of people in the early stages of degenerative brain disease, where they stop being able to emotionally self regulate or come up with rational solutions to problems, and start getting paranoid.

@Derfalken

I find it hilarious that the police came to her house in the middle of the night, and instead of talking to her, they spoke over a loud speaker.
"PLEASE QUIET DOWN, YOU ARE DISTURBING THE NEIGHBORHOOD!"

@nervousbunny

My worst neighbor was the old man who lived underneath me in Japan. He and his wife smoked all day all day and it came into our apartment. And he insisted they weren’t…,, but inside of his apartment… the walls were yellow so…. Really doubt they WEREN’T smoking, we told our landlord and they called him and told him he can’t smoke to where it bothers other people in the building, he never stopped. He harassed my poor husband who was just trying to protect me and my sanity. He was terrible. The other worst one was in America. The two women who were dating fought EVERYDAY. So loudly. They woke people up not just us they ran over each other with their cars… they were insane. So crazy neighbors in every part of the world!

The best part of this channel is that it explains all the gintama's references that i missed while watching it.

No matter what she went through, nothing can justify the fact that she blasted the stereo to her neighbor house for 24/7 for 5 years.. that's just pure madness

@g2macs

My Grandmother was just as nasty to her neighbors, it seems that she felt so isolated after her husband died that she actually enjoyed causing trouble and cheered herself up by deliberately instigating fights.  The cherry on the cake was the neighbor directly below her flat was her sister who she hadn’t spoken to in thirty years.

Americans: "First Time?"

@gwinbeer

As soon as you mentioned SCA, I immediately thought "that's the '1 Liter of Tears' drama." OMG that show was very hard to go through. I feel for Miyoko honestly

@ultraali453

Honestly, I think its amazing that neither side attacked each other physically all these years. 
Also, they both seem doubtful.

@ibenzawla

I can't believe the authorities allowed this nonsense to happen for that long.

@alexandersmith9499

My time in Japan taught me that mental illness is very pervasive and often ignored issue there.  Admitting a family member is afflicted with mental illness involves a loss of face.  My country is definitely no better - probably even worse....

@torbenstegmuller329

I really like you including the original texts etc. in your videos. As someone who speaks Japanese this is just the perfect format for me since I get your thoughts and summary of everything that happened without having to fear a mislead translation from the source material into English.

@Yesnog05

As a Japanese-Filipina who visited Japan during this time and hearing about her from relatives, I personally believe the most hated woman in Japan goes to the mother of the boy who kidnapped, raped, tortured, and killed Junko Furuta and she 
 desecrated Junko's grave.

@pkre707

It’s heartwarming to know that insane neighbors are a universal thing

@Subjectivity13

Even if everything she claimed was true, blasting music to the entire neighborhood was obviously not the right way to handle it, and contradicts her claim that she didn't want to bother anyone other than her immediate neighbors.

@VertigoXD

I had a childhood friend whose mom got into a feud like this. The neighbor butchered her trees that she claimed were over her property line. The friend's mom responded by blasting music outdoors daily until quiet night cut-off time and threw extra garbage on her backyard compost heap by that neighbor's yard. It went on for years until one of them moved for other reasons.

@Chris14141

It's funny cuz here in the USA you don't get any sort of recognition for being Japanese level quiet but over in Japan you get super famous for being American level rude.

@jaramassbuss3-747

"Its not some purposeless noise, it's my cries my screams" is honestly what stuck with me the most. She was evidently unwell and I hope she is getting the help she needs now

@AaronMichaelLong

It's too bad, because I think this is a classic case of displaced anger. Based on your story, it seems like she had a really tough break in life, and had pent up all this resentment about her misfortune, and didn't have anywhere to vent it, until this completely trivial matter of the lamp provided her the pretext to vent at her neighbors. It's unfair to expect random strangers to have to bear your burdens, but I can't help but wonder if a more compassionate response might have forestalled this entire ridiculous tale.

@Mancada100

My mother was like that in her late stages of dementia. She would be a troublemaker, looking always for a fight with the neighbors and being a general annoyance. The sad thing is mental illness sometimes translates into aggressive behaviour because those persons are so isolated and hurt that are unable to normally connect with other persons, so instead they adopt bizarre ways to try to connect (negatively) with other persons.
