  1. I'm pretty sure two big reasons as to why Japan has high suicide rates is long working hours (and study hours) along with Japanese people generally being quite introverted. As for who is to blame, I think the person committing suicide is, not because I don't understand, but because that is the person who decided to make the choice. However, there are things that the society can improve in order to reduce the amount of suicides. One of the things mentioned is that companies would rather replace depressed people is one of the things that would have to change. That would merely build up stress, even if someone isn't even very depressed. There's also school education, they should talk about these subjects in school, partly in order to make people aware of it, and also to make talking about it more socially acceptable. People should also learn how to appreciate themselves. That is difficult, but it really does help. I'm saying this as a person who has been dealing with depression for his entire life, someone who has always felt left outside, and someone who has been bullied. Not severe bullying or anything like that, as I'm not someone who is afraid of biting back.
