Japan has more people over the age of 65 and the smallest number of people under the age of 15 in the world. It has the fastest negative population growth in the world, and that's because hardly anyone is having babies. In these difficult times, the Japanese are putting marriage and families on the back burner and seeking recreational love and affection as a form of cheap escape with no strings attached. We sent Ryan Duffy to investigate this phenomenon, which led him to Tokyo's cuddle cafes and Yakuza-sponsored prostitution rings.

oh, come on vice, there is so much "normal" prostitution in japan, why do you just show weird boring staff? what about an oopai-kissa where the customers just suck on women's nipples?

I'm worried about Japan, the high suicide count, low birth rates.. there's a lot to say but one thing's for certain: the island nation is slowly dying, and it will be very different in a century or two.
