On November 4, 2014, The Japan Times published a feature article examining the realities of Japan's "JK business" and the risks faced by high school girls involved in the industry.

The article introduces the experiences of girls who became involved in JK businesses while facing isolation, family difficulties, and other challenges. It also explores how businesses targeting high school girls continued to operate despite increased public scrutiny and regulation.

The article features comments from Colabo founder Yumeno Nito, who explains that many girls involved in the industry are seeking understanding, connection, and a sense of belonging. Drawing on Colabo's outreach and support activities, Nito warns that seemingly harmless interactions can place girls in vulnerable situations and expose them to exploitation and violence.

The article highlights the importance of providing support, safe spaces, and trusted relationships for girls facing difficult circumstances.
