The youth-protection ordinance of Fukushima Prefecture includes articles which punish a person for putting materials (including books, videotapes, DVDs, etc.) harmful to youth in automatic vending machines. The Supreme Court of Japan upheld this regulation in a case on March 9, 2009. The automatic vending machine in which the defendant in this case put a DVD had a remote control system. This case note aims to examine this decision, including relevant precedent cases, in view of constitutional law. This case note concludes that the defendant in this case should have been found not guilty.
