According to police, the shop did not have a signboard. Instead, Kuwayama placed advertisements in sports newspapers that instructed customers to make a telephone call to find the shop’s address.

During questioning, Kuwayama said that he started the business several years ago. “Ten discs for 5,000 yen,” the suspect was quoted by police in admitting to the allegations. “I could accumulate 60,000 yen in sales each day.”
