Columnist Yuka Seno recalls Epstein-style pool party at Tokyo hotel

TOKYO (TR) – A prominent columnist shocked audiences this week by revealing her experience at a bizarre, Epstein-style gathering inside a luxury hotel suite in the capital involving completely naked male celebrities.

Yuka Seno, a scriptwriter and columnist, made the startling confession during a May 5 appearance on the ABEMA program “Naokiman’s Urban Legend Wide Show Season 3.” The panel had been discussing the late disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein when the conversation shifted to the dark underbelly of Tokyo’s exclusive Minato Ward, where Seno once caroused.

Touching upon rumors of political “honey traps” and intelligence gathering, Seno explained that young women who frequent high-end parties in the nightlife district are often unknowingly used as pawns.

“Because we drink with such a wide variety of people, from sumo wrestlers to corporate executives, when elections come around, older men will ask us, ‘Have you ever drank with this politician?'” Seno explained. “Girls can be turned into spies without even realizing it.”

Untouched by rumors or scandal

However, it was Seno’s tale of a secret party she attended at age 18 that stunned the studio.

Seno recalled being invited by a male peer to bring a swimsuit to a “pool party” taking place in a rented-out suite at a high-class hotel in Minato Ward.

“At first, it was just us girls, including some I didn’t know, hanging out in the pool,” Seno explained. “But then, a bunch of completely naked older men came in.” She added a graphic description of the men, noting they were entirely exposed.

When pressed on the identity of the naked older men, Seno confessed they were “people whose names I absolutely cannot say.” She confirmed to the stunned studio that several of these high-profile figures remain active on television today, completely untouched by rumors or scandal.

According to Seno, the sprawling suite featured multiple bedrooms. While she and some others simply swam and eventually went home, she noted that other attendees — including recognizable women from the adult video and gravure idol industries — stayed behind to “service” the VIPs.

Outspoken on X

Around 2014, Seno’s outspoken posts on X became a hot topic, gaining her followers, primarily women. She later expanded her activities to include column writing and commentary. In 2022, Yamato Publishing released her book “Tonight, I Wanted to Be Held Carelessly.” Five years later, Gentosha published her Instagram Q&A summary “Insights Gained in Tokyo.”

In 2018, she announced her pregnancy and marriage to a non-celebrity man. She gave birth to her first child, a daughter, on November 27 of the same year. After divorcing, she gave birth to a second child, fathered by another man.

“Dangerous play”

In commenting during the ABEMA program on the poolside depravity as described by Seno, prominent Gentosha editor Kosuke Minowa noted the similarities to elite scandals overseas.

“Ultimately, just like with Epstein, celebrities and the ultra-rich often cannot be satisfied with normal desires,” Minowa said. “They possess an immense curiosity for more dangerous play and sexual desires they might not have even realized they had yet.”
