What a beautiful place it is!
You're absolutely right on, Diane. It is a nice place to visit. That's the reason the Japanese death-wishers go to the above place and throw themselves over the edge of the cliff.
But it's too beautiful to throw yourself over the above cliff, isn't it?
You're telling me, Diane. I would never do that, myself...'cause I'm too romantic to do such a scary thing.
So, compared to other Japanese people, you've got a chicken heart, haven't you?
No, that's not right, Diane. I'm so motivated to live as long as the man in Japan who is now 115 years old.
That's what I thought.
You know, Diane, there is a long tradition in Japan, in which people tend to beautify his or her own death-wish.
Really?
If you take a close look at the following video-clip, you'll understand what I mean by that.

Oh, Kato, this is too much for me! I can't watch it with my peaceful mind.
Nobody could throw herself unless she could beautify her after-life world.
Is there any other hotspot for suicide?
Yes, of course, one of the most famous spots is the maze at the foot of Mount Fuji.

This place is literally called "forest sea (樹海)." Once you step into this sea of woods, you'll never get out. Hence you're doomed to die.
Are you serious?
Yes, of course, I'm dead serious. I'll show you the actual death-wishers.

Oh, Kato, this is too much for me! I can't watch it with my peaceful mind. What are those people filming the corpses?
They're curiosity-seekers.
But, Kato, you just said a while ago, "Once you step into this sea of woods, you'll never get out." I wonder if those curiousity-seekers also died in the forest.
Don't be silly, Diane. If they had died, how could we possibly see the above video clip?
That's why I'm asking you, kiddo.
Well ... you and I will never commit suicide.
How come you're so sure?
...'Cause love makes a happy world and you give me a ton of inspiration, which motivates me to live long. Watch the following clip.

What about the above clip?
Diane, you're the sunshine of my life. That's why I'll always be around. You are the apple of my eye. So, forever you'll stay in my heart, and I'll live as long as you live.
Oh my goodness ... I didn't know that you're such an apple-polisher!
Anyway, "Long live Diane!"
【Himiko's Monologue】
Wow! Did you see what I saw?
"Suicide Forest!"
What a scary clip it is!
How could they possibly step into the never-able-to-return forest at the foot of Mount Fuji?
Like Kato, I've never thought of comitting suicide.
How about you?
As Diane mentioned, life is precious and priceless.
If possible, therefore, we should live as long as the oldest man in this world.
In any case, I hope Kato will write another interesting article soon.
So please come back to see me.
Have a nice day!
Bye bye ...
