Matter of time before they catch him. Its very difficult to get away from a crime like this nowadays, with all the cameras.

I really wish the Japanese authorities would grow both a brain and heart and fix the law so that it is admitted that pedestrians can and do get themselves killed and thereby, properly investigate accident scenes. They do that and the number of people who run would greatly decrease.

The roads are extremely small and confusing in Japan even when your sober.
