Begs the question... why the move ? Is this some kind of retaliation for the world handball championships Japan whined about earlier this year ?

Fact is, happy people in happy societies don't off themselves in record numbers year after year after year like the Japanese do ! Japan must seriously address the failed society it has built. There really is nothing positive to say about 14 hour working days, loveless relationships, and a nation…
