I don't know. Unlike you, I've never seen a Japanese stiff.

The name "Japanese SUICIDE Forest" does kind of give a clue to what you might find there, doesn't it ? What were they expecting ? Pixies ?
And then WTF, a suicide in a suicide-forest ?
:o

YouTube Star With 15M Followers Criticized Over Japanese Suicide Video
- If you’re over the age of 20, you probably don’t know who Logan Paul is. But the YouTube star’s name was on everybody’s lips this morning after he committed the first social media blunder of 2018.
Image
Paul, a 22-year-old vlogger with 15 million YouTube followers (mostly teens), apologized last night after a video in which he made jokes about a man who committed suicide in a Japanese forest sparked widespread criticism online.

The clip got six million views before it was deleted from YouTube. While Paul warns his viewers at the beginning of the video that the footage will be graphic, he doesn’t provide any specific trigger warnings about suicide.

Paul shot the 15-minute video in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, which is known as the “suicide forest” because many Japanese people kill themselves there. Precise data about the number of Aokigahara suicides isn’t available, but Japan as a whole has one of the highest suicide rates in the world—almost 22,000 people killed themselves there in 2016.

As Paul and his friends make their way through the forest, they encounter a dead man—his face is blurred, but the body is visible. Paul yells “Yo, are you alive” at the corpse and then one of his companions says he doesn’t feel good. Paul says “What, you never stand next to a dead guy?” and then laughs.

At the end of the video, Paul says smiling and laughing are a coping mechanism for him, and he does not consider suicide, depression or mental illness laughing matters. He included a link to the American Society for Suicide Prevention in the video’s description, and he also said he wasn’t going to sell ads against the video or make money from it...
