The Japanese society is a unique society where the culture is such that it believes that a moment of brilliance or glory is worth a lifetime. It is also the home of diabolic cults and a country where suicide activism has social acceptance. On top of it, most Japanese today are either depressed or bored. Perhaps that’s the reason.

Depression, loss of self esteem and violent video games too may be the cause behind the rising incidences of random rampages in Japan. The Japanese people had been living under constant stress - work related, social etc for a few decades now with little emphasis being put to enhance their personal lives like sexual lives, courtships etc.

The society as a whole is to be blamed for such random rampages. Japan has a strict gun control in place. If the gun laws were as liberal as it is in the United States, there would have been frequent carnages putting even the United States’ mass murder like the Virginia Tech killings into shame.

I used to live in Japan and this doesn’t surprise me at all. The degree of suppressed emotions is unbelievable. Indifference is a way of life there, it seems. Sometimes it gets too much and people go crazy. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often, especially with high schoolers. They are under so much pressure to succeed it’s no wonder so many of them commit suicide.
