It's because of the extremely high pressure of honor, and success over there. I mean, this was the culture that centuries ago had Seppuku as a wonderful honorable thing to do if you shamed your lord. So these guys working 20 hour days and sleeping under their cubical for 13 days straight, 1 day off, 13 days straight, 1 day off and barely seeing their family for months... and then their video game or product fails miserably? They failed their family name by being so horribly unsuccessful and kill themselves to hide the shame and leave the stress. I wish I was joking.

Yes. All life expediencies take into account both natural deaths and homicides/suicides.

"Honor is heavier than a mountain / Death lighter than a feather."

tbh, I'm not even sure it's even so much a matter of honor but just the fact that suicide by itself has become a cultural thing now. More importantly, everybody focuses on Japan when it comes to suicide, but they're not even close to being the highest. They're just barely in the top 10... and #1 isn't even an Asian nation, it's a European one.

nobody thought seppuku was wonderful, it was a form of capital punishment. it was perhaps honorable versus hanging or torture
