(that screenshot taken well away from the emitter, because I wasn't going to stop walking away from that thing just to take a more dramatic screenshot) I'm on a train now and my ears still hurt.

To all the senile assholes who think scaring off cats by blasting 19kHz at ear-damage levels all over shops in Japan is a good idea: I know you can't hear it, but I can and IT FUCKING HURTS. FOR LIKE HALF AN HOUR AFTER I PASS. STOP IT.pic.twitter.com/Tyd7HHJgg3

What shop did you find this at? I often find myself getting headaches going shopping in my corner of Japan, wonder if they're doing it here too. (p.s. what app did you use for the screenshot?)

They're all over the place, e.g. the McDonalds near the west side of Shinjuku station, a datacenter building I go to for work, and tons more. I just passed one near Yokohama. At those frequencies it sounds less like a tone and more like a pain/pressure.

Going around Shibuya is a pain for this very reason. I'm surprised though that younger people, i.e. most of the people in the streets, seem unaffected as well...
-
I was told the ***unofficial*** reason is that ojiji don't want young people to stay around

How is that legal?!?

Because the people making the laws can't hear it.
