The technology to trace your phone has been around since 1978.

Man! Either this guy needs a life or he has some serious mental issues. But seriously, I hope this guy gets the help he needs.

This guy can be hired to get Survey responses ( 148 calls in about 5 hours - can be improved).

Of course, he should be trained to say more than just "moshi moshi"

Needs to get a hobby or join a social club. There is a psychological reason behind his behaviour. Wants attention and is bored.

Maybe he was having panic attacks

Desperate for attention, sad really. How many Japanese men in particular that have dedicated their lives to their job, neglecting family life and personal well-being, retire, then... Nothing. Premature death, going crazy like this guy: a serious problem for too many Japanese people who spent too long devoted to something then losing it all in a day.

LMAO....moshi moshi!! Haha!

As a kid we used to phone takeaways to the guy across the street and laugh and guffaw as delivery guy after delivery guy would troop up to the door with bags of food he didn't want. All before Caller ID of course.....good times
