In the fiscal year 2016/7 up to March, 250 children from elementary to high school age were recorded as having taken their own lives. The number is five more than last year, and the highest it has been since 1986.
Concerns the children had reported included family problems, worrying about their futures and bullying. But schools said the reasons behind about 140 of the deaths are unknown as the students did not leave a note. Most of those who took their lives were of high school age, where Japanese students typically study until they are aged 18.
[...] Overall suicides across Japan fell to about 21,000 in 2017, police say, down from a peak of about 34,500 in 2003.
[...] "The number of suicides of students have stayed high, and that is an alarming issue which should be tackled," education ministry official Noriaki Kitazaki said as the latest figures were released.

It's peaceful transition to Socialism in progress executed by capitalists themselves exactly as predicted by Carl Marx.
Here is how the actual revolution will happen. Currently BOJ owns, but does not participate in day to day management. A little obscure rule change and the process is complete.

After which Jesus was jolted from his nap by the sudden influx of devotion from his new followers, thought for a moment, and then said "I want to feel good about this, but something about it just doesn't feel right. Ahh well, bless you my child, I guess."

free market creates lumps of success, conventionally called capitalists.
capitalists want no more competition
so they get in bed with the government
you can call it socialism
Do you need to read a book to conclude the same? It's obvious.
