Police on Thursday arrested 44-year-old saxophone player Yasushi Arai on a charge of public obscenity after he reportedly flashed a female high school student at a shopping arcade in Saitama's Honjo city.
According to police, the girl was on her way home when Arai is said to have unzipped his pants and flashed her. The girl ran when she saw Arai, and he chased her for about 100 meters before a police officer saw the chase and arrested him. Arai has admitted to the charge, police said.

It's because musicians have armadillos in their trousers.

Maybe he took an overdose of Viagra and wanted to show it off, HA! Or maybe he can only make it rise by playing his Sax, HA!

so what? she doesn't like brass

Was alcohol involved? The article doesn't say. But most likely it was. This sax player was probably stoned out of his mind on booze. He won't even remember the incident. Certainly traumatic for the girl (or maybe not so), but if you read the autobiography of Eric Clapton, this would be "normal" stoned musician behavior...

what are moron... the world is full of them

The cop chased probably because the girl was cute.

They are sure to lock this guy up in a penile institution.

I expect the only reason why the police caught up with him was that he couldn't run too had with his pants at half-mast.... oops

They say bad sax is better than no sax at all.

They don't get it, if a woman flashed a man it would be more likely he would get excited and she wanted him but these fellas have not worked out it does not work the other way, in fact opposite.

I can't imagine the horror of being chased by a man with his skin flute.

But is he really a saxophone player or does he just call himself that? Has anybody checked to make sure he is registered with the Japanese Pro Surfer Association, sorry, Japanese Saxophone Players Association?

What has him being musician has anything to do with this crime? Why do they always have to mention criminals proffesions? If he was a teacher or something, it'd be understandable, but him playing sax has nothing to do with his sexual interests.

Good thing the cops caught this perv in the act. Otherwise I doubt that the cops would do anything even if the girl reported it.
Yet another example of cops only capable of doing their jobs when the crime, perpetrator, and confession is literally handed to them on a platter.

I have similar feelings towards every middle aged Japanese guy standing in the combini drooling over a sexually explicit comic. - I wonder how far this loon would have chased this girl and to what end if the cop didn't spot him?

One more sick man with deep sexual complexes.

So what is the big deal? Did she have a stroke or were her reflexes not quick enough?
before a police officer saw the chase and arrested him.
Running down the street with his pants unzipped probably meant that the policeman saw a lot more than just the chase.

hahaha.
Hey good job by the cops for once.

"Hey wait, I just want to show you the correct embouchure and fingering!"

I'm happily surprised the keystones actually did something. Friends of mine that have been flashed (sadly, most not by me) have gotten nothing but dismissal when reporting it to the police.

He almost caught up to her, she was laughing so hard at his little horn.

I hope his jazz is smoother than his pick-up moves.
