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."

We had this thread already and the meido deleted it.

But again, I don't think this is bad at all. If you're the kind of person who wants to be alone then, well, you're the kind of person who wants to be left alone.

The Japanese government should start a sperm collection/surrogate parent scheme if they're so worried about their race dying out.

This means the grorious nippon race will die out and no more chinese games and cartoons.

I do not like this outlook.

Oh, speaking of dying alone, here's a nice article I stumbled upon today:

I don't see the problem really. If you want to be alone, go ahead, and if you want to be with people, go ahead.

So, are we normal now?
I do not like the sound of that.

It's actually only Japanese becoming more like the west in pretty awkward way, it's not like they're becoming a nation of hikkis.

Thanks to western influences Japanese people are starting to reject the idea of living in a way where they would have to put up fronts even in "private" and choosing relative separation over having to be careful to fit in all the time.

I thought loneliness was a worldwide problem. Why are you pointing Japan again?

Why? Is Japanese culture offtopic now?
Seriously?
