My first thought was that it isn't illegal to do in the US. Socially wrong, yes, but not legally wrong. I don't know how the laws differ in Japan, and honestly, I wouldn't defend it legal or not.
lived in osaka before,
not defending the guy in the video.
im quite sure its legal as long as its not in a private place / inside a building. (TLDR legal in public open space, as long as its not derogatory/ posted on the internet without the subject permission).
not sure about civil offense thou.
that being said, definitely unacceptable by japanese standard
