A photo of Japan Air Lines Flight 123, a Boeing 747, captured mid-flight before its tragic crash on Aug 12, 1985. The worst single-aircraft disaster in history claimed that 520 lives. Note the vertical stabilizer that is largely missing.

Johatsu, or "evaporation," is a striking Japanese phenomenon in which individuals, overwhelmed by challenges like failed marriages, crippling debt, unemployment, or personal setbacks, choose to silently abandon their lives. They vanish without a trace, retreating into anonymity and often living off the grid, free from the burdens of their past. In Japan, this act reflects a desperate escape from societal pressures and the stigma of failure. Adding to this, discreet companies known as "yonige-ya" (night movers) offer services to "reset" a person’s life—helping them relocate, erase their tracks, and start anew under the cover of darkness.

@Nevelien_ A very fun clip. He is certainly very talented.

I’ve watched this clip more times than I’m willing to admit. Takuya Kimura is phenomenal
