A quick note about how crazy and different the Japanese have gotten...

Japan is a tiny country with a lot of people and simply no one has any clear idea what is going on... For centuries family , respect and responsibility as well as duty and commitment were central to the Japanese culture.

Today the Japanese are almost rioting over Christmas day and Valentines day ! ! !
Well Christmas is about lovers and the Japanese do not do lovers . . . (article)
Valentines Day is about women treating themselves since females actively avoid males . . . (article)

The Japanese government has little time for such crazy social issues ; in fact the government is panicking.
Today the IN thing is the youth culture of Japan is no sex ; ever ! ! ! Celibacy is the new social norm. Despite government incentives to try and lure people into sexual relationships the youthful society is not having any sex.
Lets just say the (article) below might explain some of the more attractive alternatives . . .

One way countries with low birth rates and sexual apathy is to legislate more holidays. Here is the idea ; people at home are not having sex enough so governments invent vacation days so couples may and should travel , the idea is if people are not at home they are more likely to have sex ! ! !

[Truly ; and you say Governments never think of their citizens , shame on you ; ) ]

What this means is no sex = no babies and thus Japan faces a long lived aging population and this is already putting a huge burden on society. Remember being law abiding and image conscious is about traditional Japanese values. Yet today more elderly are forced into crime than the youth. Today's Japanese police are catching shoplifters and this causes social isolation when the criminal is disowned by their own relatives ! ! !

All these crazy attitudes lead to such social isolation from stigmas such as unable to find a relationship or violating societies laws or whatever that with a policy of family respectability the government has set aside official places (including signs) for people to commit suicide . . .
