Nippon Jumpers First Appearance in New York!
Samurai, Geisha, Zen Garden and Sushi...
What do you really know about Japan?
What's really going on in Tokyo?

Let "Nippon Jumpers" give you a peek inside Japan
and find out why 40,000 Japanese give up their lives every year.

Nippon Jumpers ~I won't be here tomorrow~ is a story inspired by the fact taht more tahn 40,000 people in Japan commit suicide every year.

An exploration of post-modern Japanese society which some of its citizens have chosen to reject through suicide. "Hara-kiri" (or "seppuku"), and "kamikaze" occupy a prominent place in the American image of Japan - through literature and the memory of World War II - but writer/director Takase kazuki dramatizes a different phenomenon: the self-destructive epidemic deriving from the stresses and strains of Japan's successful rise to international economic dominance.
