Hmm... cultural differences.

Something goes for suicidal mind and methods.

At least Japan is the only country which permit a train company to put severe monetary charges for suicide victim's family, when someone end their lives on railroad tracks. Heartless cleptocrats... so, suicide by hanging (or better, self disembowelling with appropriate ceremony like Samurai do) is far - far more noble and acceptable.

I bet the hanging trends will end if they made someone that assist a seppuku (by beheading the suicide victim), decriminalized. Afterall, it was "Cultural Preservation" :skull:

Eerily silent, for the dead speak not, they only enjoy and contimplate the silence and tranquilty. The living only fear death and it's uncertainty when they visit.

This documentary (http://www.vbs.tv/en-uk/watch/vbs-news/aokigahara-suicide-forest-v3--2) may be of interest.

Severe warning: contains upsetting content. Don't watch at night. Especially not if you're a college student, all the lights mysteriously have gone out, there's a killer on the loose and you feel randomly like cheking out the basement or taking a shower.
