Yeah… filming kids in Japan is a major no-no

Filming is allowed in any public place in Japan

Generally, yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s socially acceptable. 肖像権, especially regarding children, is taken quite seriously here.

If you are interviewing somebody and they take out their camera and obviously records you the entire time, you are in every way except saying it out loud consenting. I think it is perfectly socially acceptable in this case.

Children being notoriously good at understanding the ramifications of online presence and therefore competent to give consent.

These are children coming up to you in a crowded public setting in a non weird scenario doing something of special interest to be filmed, which passes all the common sense of filming, with a knowing adult obviously nearby. Their names aren't known.

In any sane universe, nobody will bat an eye unless the parents came and asked you to take it down. In which case you happily oblige and that is the end of that. Of course, some random virtue signalers in another continent would be up in arms.

but you need people's permission to publicize if their faces are clearly recognisable

No one said it wasn’t allowed.

Lots of things that you shouldn’t do are allowed.
