[00:00:00]Japan has a dark side nobody talks about. First is makeinu, a term sometimes used for women over 30 [music] who are unmarried and without children.

Some workers in Japan spend so much time working that it can seriously affect their health or even their lives. Behind Japan's discipline and strong work culture, there is also a side many people never see.
