Satoshi Kon warned Japan about this problem 20 years ago #Paprika #SatoshiKon #Anime #Cosplay #japan

A creepy video from Nihonbashi Street Festa is going viral after two cosplayers were surrounded by a massive crowd of photographers, with some people trying to take photos directly under their skirts. What makes this even more unsettling is how similar it feels to scenes from Paprika (2006). Nearly 20 years ago, Satoshi Kon portrayed crowds consumed by voyeurism, obsession, and spectacle, including imagery that mirrored this exact behavior. Back then it felt surreal and exaggerated. Today it feels real. Maybe Paprika wasn’t predicting the future, maybe it was warning us about a culture that already existed beneath the surface. #Paprika #SatoshiKon #Anime #Cosplay #Japan #NihonbashiStreetFesta
