There is an alarming suicide cases both in Japan and South Korea...
I heard on TV that in Japan, there are 30000 people committing suicide every year.
I would want to discuss:
What are the causes or factors leading to suicide? Is it the culture, the environment, or is t just the person?
This is a very complicated topic. In South Korea, there were famous people, actors and actresses, even a former president committed suicide. One common thing I noticed....most of them don't have religions...I do respect their beliefs but I think it's important to know that there's someone out there whom you can pray to whenever you feel that the world had turn its back on you...Just sayin.
What are your thoughts guys?

Some take it as a means out , or in the moments of madness or crazy or too tired, the person commit sucide.Even religious people commit sucide, beside the world is crazy with many type of religion and some wrong interpretion of them and cults also , i guess people do it , because they can and will continue to do as a means to end their own suffering or in mean to end other people suffering or to cause other people more suffering by they sucidice.

Most are caused by uncontrolable stress and depression. As you said they had no religions. If they had, they would still be living right now. Religions teach us that this life is not the end of everything. There will be another life after this. One thing I know that we are here in the world being tested by God. Some are living in abundant wealth, while others are short for money. God says that you can change to a better life with your effort. God also teaches that everything in this world has been created for us. So, make good use of it.

There is seldom one reason why or one cause.. the only thing those people have in common is that they don't see a way out, they feel lost and lonesome, not understood already for a long time. Feeling lonesome and not seeing a way out is one of the worst things/feelings one can have.
It's cheap talking to say: please understand someone can pray for you or someone will miss you. It's not about that someone who might exist but about you feeling lonesome and lost (no matter if you are single, alone or are surrounded by family and friends). That feeling kills.
