This week, Drewby and Yergy head over to Japan, not for cherry blossom season, but to discuss the case of Airi Sato, also known as Ai Mogami. Airi was a 22-year-old hostess and streamer who was fatally stabbed to death near Takadanobaba Station in Shinjuku by a deranged fan. Airi was livestreaming when the attack occurred, and her fans witnesses her final moments on screen. Police arrested 42-year-old Kenji Takano, who was still at the scene of the crime. Kenji had traveled around 60 miles from his home in Oyama to stab Airi, after plotting the attack by studying her stream schedule, and tracking her down by looking at landmarks in the background of the stream. He told investigators that Airi's murder was fueled by an unpaid debt of about 2 million yen, or approximately $13,500 USD.
