On Dec. 18, Akie Abe commented again on Facebook: “Thank you for all the various information. I want to take the proper measures. Please give me a little time.” Shortly afterward, she contacted Yoshimatsu and on Wednesday, she met with her for over an hour and heard the details of what happened.
Yoshimatsu spoke to The Japan Times before the meeting and said: “I am very pleased that Mrs. Abe has showed concern not only for me but for the rights of all women in Japan. We need real laws that stop stalkers and prevent needless deaths and injuries before they happen. We need a society where the stalking of women is not tolerated ― even if the stalker is a powerful and important man.”

日本のメディアはがん無視。
無視するのは、
The mainstream Japanese media, fearing the loss of access to the talent agency-owned celebrities or possible retaliation, have mostly ignored her story. Those who did later appeared to backtrack. The tabloid Sports Nippon wrote an article but then deleted it within hours. Yahoo News Japan had a section on the Miss International Contest problems but took it down in a day. One website removed posts about her from the most popular rankings.

The kind of stalking that Yoshimatsu has endured is commonplace, and insufficient laws often result in police action far too late.
Commonplace ってどれくらいを想像するんだろうね、
as in the U,S.とか、なんとか、と付け加えるだけでも随分違うんだけどね。
