Suicide Spike in Japan

I was ready the news today and saw a sad story.  Yesterday/today (September 1), was a bad day for suicides in Japan.  They were writing that a large number of young people tend to kill themselves on this day.  They feel that it is due to the return to school.  It was a very interesting story.

In addition to this, there is a movie called Suicide Club.  It is a Japanese movie, where teens just start killing themselves.  You follow a police officer trying to figure out what is going on.  The story reminded me of this movie.  If you get a chance, check it out.  I'm wondering if they were inspired to create this due to the large number of suicides they have each year in Japan.
