😱🇯🇵 "In Japan, you can pay to 'disappear' and get rid of all your problems, debts, and your previous life... those cryptocurrency holders who have amassed GREAT fortunes and want to sink into anonymity do so to protect themselves and their families... for example.."

There is a disturbing phenomenon called Jōhatsu (蒸発), which means “evaporated people.” These are individuals who decide to completely disappear: they abandon their jobs, leave their families, and even change their names or appearances to start a new life. They do this to escape debts, family conflicts, or the suffocating pressure of work. And they don’t do it alone: there are specialized companies called yonige-ya (夜逃げ屋), known as “night movers.” These companies help organize secret moves in the early morning, find private housing, and, in some cases, create a new identity. The prices for this “clean slate” range from ¥50,000 to ¥300,000 (about $350 to $2,600), depending on how complicated the escape is.🔥

The most shocking thing is that Japan, with its strict privacy laws and culture of respect for silence, makes it possible for someone to disappear without a trace. The police usually do not intervene if the disappearance is voluntary, which leaves thousands of families trapped in an open wound: they never know if their loved ones are still alive or if social pressure has erased them forever. An exit that seems like freedom… but at the same time, it is a mirror of the human cost of Japanese cultural perfectionism.🔥
