I often read articles that someone commited suicide by hydrogen sulfide in Japan. I couldn't understand why they can get such a poisonous gas, then some said a manual "how to make hydrogen sulfide from some toilet cleaner" was up on the Internet. Sanpore is a very well known toilet cleaner in Japan. Please check the Sanpore page of Amazon Japan and see "Customers who bought this item also bought.......orz. Those books are "suicide manual", "abscondence manual", "145 cases of suicide" ....
Nigo is the famous designer of A Bathing Ape. I am not sure who made this video, maybe BBC? They show Nigo's house. Wow great!!!

Maybe they want to clean their flat before they die? :)
I don't know what the books suggest, but it seems to logical that if they buy the book on line, if serious, they would buy the things needed on line also.
This reminds of a Japanese play I saw in Tokyo many years ago. The plot was about strangers who through chat rooms on line to arrange a meeting in person in groups of three to assist each other in committing suicide. The play follows the one group (and a ghost that haunts one of them) and ends not with suicides but with each discovering why they cannot confront or handle life. that is, learning what event in their past has shaped their fear or inability to communicate or trust people or themselves.
One last thought about the amazon page:
Wonder why the same people who checked out that cleaner also examined and considered "祝日・お正月・各種イベントなどに!高級国旗セット" (high class Japanese national flag set).
