A French journalist called Léna Mauger had investigated the phenomenon of johatsu, or “evaporated people.” Every year, her book’s blurb claimed, nearly one hundred thousand Japanese vanish without a trace.

Supposedly if you shame yourself you just go find undocumented work, and run away. It is the suicide alternative.

Found it very interesting. Anyone ever heard of this?

They make the trek to Mt Fuji and jump in.

Thank God I'm not Japanese. I'd have disappeared a long time ago.

Well I was thinking ultimately it was probably optimistic they found happiness in blue collar life and didn't ultimate jump

Just more ghosts in the suicide forest. Japanese folks are an odd bunch. Suicide forest and panty vending machines, and tentacle porn yet they blur out the pubic regions in porn.

This coupled with Japan's massive reproduction/sex problem is pretty fascinating.

People have been doing the same in Alaska and Mexico since we incorporated as a country.

Look up missing 411. People go missing all the time in the US, especially in national parks.

I'd be curious to know if the large penis (4-5") Japanese are committing suicide at the same rate. Do they even watch American porn, or do they only watch the blurry stuff and the cartoon stuff? That would probably make me consider suicide

I just did. Thanks for the laugh - I'm certain that Bigfoot is engaging in abductions across the world and that the National Forestry Service is covering it up

Sounds like some Hibakusha traits passed down.
