For example, this article about it from just 4 years ago shows an obvious trend: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/04/07/japans-c.... This year's peak is just below the bottom of the chart (March 26) in the Economist article. The Osaka University chart in the linked BBC article shows just how abrupt and accelerating the trend is in the last 150 or so years, and real changes in the last 10.
We are all in real trouble.
edit: whoever you are can brigade and flag my posts, but it won't change anything.
