Amid the ongoing controversy over love seats, veteran media personality Shibu Akiomi pointed out that conflicts over priority seats commonly occur in Japan as well, but are not widely reported by the media if they do not have a significant impact on society. He suggested that people pay attention to more important issues, as conflicts between individuals are normal, and fostering care and consideration between people is more important than dwelling on love seat disputes. Akiomi emphasized that giving up seats should be a kind gesture, and if it becomes an obligation rather than an expression of empathy, the meaning is lost. He also proposed alternatives to avoid conflicts, such as suggesting elderly people with mobility issues travel outside peak commuting hours. Furthermore, Akiomi mentioned that in Japan, conflicts over priority seats also frequently occur but are not heavily publicized if they do not greatly affect society.
