[Video-Link Japan]

Q&A With the Founder of Channel 2
http://www.ojr.org/japan/internet/1061505583.php



In May 1999, Hiroyuki Nishimura started up a modest discussion board called Ni Chaneru -- Channel 2. The site gave many Japanese an anonymous way to vent their feelings, meet strangers, lurk and connect.

Channel 2 quickly became a quirky place where people sometimes came to post rants before committing crimes and where people contemplating suicide came to meet others feeling the same way -- and to arrange group suicides.

In 2001, Time Asia wrote of the site, "Surfing through Channel 2 is like taking a ride on Japan's wild side. On any given day you can read messages about users' schemes to assault their bosses, murder their teachers or blow up a neighborhood kindergarten."

More than a million people post comments on Channel 2 every day, and the site gets 600 million page views a month. Channel 2 is Japan's biggest and most popular Web site.

I'd like to see someone write a book on this side of Japan. When these people decide to get screwy, they go all out.

Yep, 2ch's s/nratio is enough to drive anyone to suicide.

I'd be interested in knowing if, in the long line of fucked gaijins, there where any FGs who got so down on living in japan they did the salaryman mambo and hopped in front of a train (or some similar form of offing one's self). somehow, I have a feeling roppongi has swallowed a couple of these hopeless souls.

Nope. Everyone of us is a wiener.

Of course, I was joking. In reality, of the 26 lost souls FG I have been charge of here at Maybe-the-Largest-in-Japan Inc ...


---only one suicide out of the 26 (most go or are shipped home to kill themselves there)
---have high rate mental illness: 24 out 26 were under medication and treament
---3 of 26 died of AIDS
---11-to-16 of the 26 were gay but not happy
---4 had to serve time in Japanese jail for assault
---7 or 9 vandalized property when leaving Japan (more than 150,000 yen damage)
