Suicide Forest in Japan
The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently. Originally released in 2011 at vice.com Need help?

Journey to Japan
Konnichiwa guys ^_^ As promised- I filmed lots of footage from my trip to Japan for you guys. So come with me and follow me on my journey to Japan ^_^. On 4th December; I woke up to see a post-it note on my mirror. It was a treasure trail prepared by Tim. I followed all of the clues and the last clue was an itinerary & Yen note. I'M GOING TO JAPAN FOR MY BIRTHDAY!! Although I only got to spend 4 full days in Japan- we managed to do/see countless beautiful sightings. Japan is breathtaking. We didn't go to Tokyo because I wanted to experience the authentic and peaceful side of Japan (like how i imagine it in my head). I will definitely visit Tokyo in the future but I wanted to see Osaka/Kyoto first. I wanted to see Zen gardens, temples and geishas. Everything was even more beautiful than I imagined. It was a wonderful journey and we managed to visit some of the greatest temples on earth and eat delicious japanese food. People were very warm and welcoming. I will definitely visit Japan again and I would recommend anybody to visit the country once in their life time. They have a beautiful culture. Big thank you to my lovely boyfriend Tim for being so sweet and romantic. It was a wonderful surprise and I'll never forget our amazing trip together in Japan. I hope you guys enjoy this video. I had 1.5 hrs of footage condensed in 8 minutes =D. PS. NO I did not die in Japan. What a sick (and funny) person for making the channel 'Bubzbeautymemorial' n telling people I passed on. I ...

Japan closes last reactor, 'energy crisis looms'
Japan is set to turn off its last working reactor this weekend, leaving one of the world's largest industrial nations without a source of nuclear energy for the first time in almost 50 years. The government has bowed to public pressure following last year's disaster at the Fukushima power plant after the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

Monkey Man Gallops across Japan
Limbering up in the suburbs of Tokyo, Kenichi Ito is the fastest man on four legs. For nearly a decade Kenichi has been perfecting a running style based on Africa's wiry Patas monkey, and that's helped the 29-year-old get into the record books for the fastest time running 100 metres on all fours. "You know my face and body kind of looks like a monkey, so from a young age everyone used to tease me, saying 'monkey, monkey'. But I wasn't really bothered because I really liked them, and somewhere inside of me I had this ambition to adopt one of their traits,"Ito said, squatting on all fours in his Tokyo apartment. For eight-and-a-half years Ito has walked around the local area on hands and feet, and turned household chores into challenges on all fours. But his passion for simians was not without setbacks. "In the streets around here I get stopped by the police, so I went up into the mountains for about a month for a kind of four-legged running training camp. But on the first day, a hunter mistook me for a wild boar, and he tried to shoot me," Ito told Reuters. Constantly honing his style, Ito looks for inspiration from across the animal world using the internet and a season ticket to the local zoo. So far he's developed six distinct forms of all-fours movement from his top-speed "gallop" to a more leisurely walking pace, and recruited about 100 converts across seven countries.

Japan wants missile shield against N.Korean rockets
North Korea has announced it will launch a rocket next month, which will put a satellite into orbit. But the US and its allies see the plans as counter to international diplomatic efforts to deal with the reclusive state's nuclear programme - and are worried the technology could be used to develop long range missiles in the future. It could also potentially violate UN Security Council resolutions, and threatens last month's deal between North Korea and the Washington. Under this, Pyonyang was to freeze its uranium weapons program and its long-range missile activities - in return for American food aid. Japan's has responded by deploying its own missile defense system to shoot down any rocket threatening its territory. For more on this, RT talks to Executive Editor of Black Agenda Report, Glen Ford, from London. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Thank you for translating :) Regarding her translation she says: "I'm sorry this is going to be really choppy. I can't ever translate Japanese into English successfully. It's difficult for me since I think in Japanese, then to hear it and to translate it and translate it again, it gets a little confusing for me. Bear with me. And if anyone would love to have a go to correct me, please do. Here it goes..." I hope you enjoy it. With thanks to Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman and all the employees of Pixar.

Japan Marks Anniversary of Fukushima Nuclear Accident
A year later, decontamination and construction crews are still working to clean up the nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi Power plant. Experts expect the cleanup will take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars. The earthquake and resulting tsunami that hit Japan 's east coast last March 11th was one of the biggest the world has ever recorded, killing nearly 16000 people, injuring 6000 and causing another 3000 to go missing. But the natural disaster was eclipsed by news of the nuclear one, which was the worst since the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. Japan's struggles in dealing with Fukushima captivated the world's attention for weeks, as a small group of men in radiation suits fought to cool the plant's damaged and burning reactors. 200000 area residents were evacuated. Polling shows public opinion around nuclear power also remains damaged, with the possible impact of natural disasters on plants and the power to contain damage still in question. Eleven US power companies are currently seeking license extensions for 15 nuclear power plants across America built decades ago. In the wake of Fukushima, the future of old plants, and the viability of new ones, hangs in the balance.

Loneliness becoming 'the norm' in Japan
Japanese society has long had a reputation for close-knit families and companies and for group culture. This year, however, the average number of people in a Tokyo home dropped below two for the first time. NLI Research Institute says that, by 2020, living alone will be the norm in Japan. The think-tank's Akio Doteuchi says: "People are becoming more isolated. They used to live in friendly communities where neighbours would help them. "Now people want to protect their privacy, so people in these communities have never even met their neighbours. They don't know if they live alone or it's a couple or a family. "So sometimes people die alone without anyone noticing." Mike Firn reports from Tokyo.

Japan marks one year since a devastating earthquake and tsunami killed over nineteen thousand people, devastating an entire nation. A minute's silence has been observed at the exact moment the quake hit last March. The tsunami turned whole neighborhoods into debris leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. It also triggered the worst nuclear crisis in a quarter century after the cooling systems at the Fukushima plant were knocked out.
