The "Rustling Sound" Incident at the Tokyo District Court (Part 1)
The other day, I posted an article titled "What Happened on the Day of the First Oral Argument at the Tokyo District Court", in which I described hearing a "rustling" sound coming from above the courtroom ceiling just before the hearing began.

In this post, I will provide a more detailed record and analysis of that sound incident.
On the day of the first oral argument, I posted several observations on X, including a mention of the "rustling sound."(Japanese only)
書記官に呼ばれて法廷に入ると、原告側には3人が着席していました。

私が着席してしばらくすると、天井を這うような“パラ”という比較的大きな音が聞こえました。
1回あたり2~3秒間で、1~2秒間隔を空けて3回ほど続きました。
しかし、誰も気にする様子はありませんでした。… pic.twitter.com/3gJgqMrCjD
Since it took some time to create the illustrations, the initial one I used didn’t fully capture how the sound occurred.
However, the updated illustration that I later inserted into "What Happened on the Day of the First Oral Argument at the Tokyo District Court" does a better job of accurately representing the situation.

Despite the abnormal nature of the sound, none of the three attorneys or the court clerk reacted at all, and I myself did not speak up either.
However, that sound held significant meaning for me.
It strongly reminded me of the first sound I heard on the morning of March 5, 2018, when I was subjected to psychological destruction tactics using sound and light at a hotel affiliated with the Sotetsu Group (formerly Hotel Sunroute Takadanobaba) and at a nearby Lawson convenience store.

Although the type of sound was different, both had in common the sensation of something "crawling" or moving along the ceiling.
At the hotel, the sound resembled something heavy rolling in one direction, whereas in the courtroom, it moved back and forth.
In both cases, however, the sound occurred just before something began: in the hotel, it was the beginning of the psychological attack; in the courtroom, it was just before the hearing started.
If I had been in a more mentally weakened state at the time, I might have panicked.
Fortunately, that did not happen—but this incident reinforced my conviction that, while I may not go so far as to say the court is under the control of a malicious organization, it is very likely under some form of influence.
This incident is not over yet. I am currently preparing a follow-up and will post it soon.
I posted a follow-up on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
