@Susan….of course I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt when they are not being filmed that the cleaning crews bend down on their knees in the hallway and pray before entering an empty apartment or that they say prayers standing over a foul smelling, soiled mattress like shown in the video. What’s being done here may look respectful and impressive but it’s more than likely just showcasing.
@@MrScottie68 I can confirm most that do cleanups for people who died alone in Asia do actually pray before entering. It usually is connected with their beliefs.
Unfortunately it’s almost everywhere right now, this lonely death. Last year I met an old man in the hospital. He was wheelchair bound and rolling down a slope. I helped him out a bit and had a chat along the way. He told me his heart was failing and that he had no one at home, his brother had also died just two weeks back from the time I met him. After that encounter I’ve been sad every time I think about him. He was a funny man as well, had a loud and boisterous laugh, told me he often came to the hospital to watch people walk around. I hope such people can be given more help and care.

@@k_clean0 if garbage house is what I think it is, then I don’t think that is unique to Japan. Nor is dying alone and no one missing you for weeks. Sadly, it’s a human problem, and probably happens everywhere.
I have worked in nursing homes, and though they are kind of depressing places, I suppose it’s better than being alone with no one to look out for you. I really enjoyed working there, it’s a shame those places are so understaffed and the employees always overwhelmed and busy, because the residents want nothing more than someone to just sit down with them and hold their hand and listen.
Coz Japanese are respectful people... But "Pride" is both their strength and weakness... No wonder the son/daughter won't claim his/her parents inheritance... Something must have happened between them...
I am not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but the fact that these men stopped to kneel and offer a prayer before entering the apartment and prayed again once in the bedroom, before starting the clean up, indicated that they have profound respect for the deceased. And that is really heartwarming in today's world where lack of any respect towards anyone, dead or alive, is so prevalent....what a cold, loveless society we've become.
@@Amaan_Ahmad_786 Thank you for your concern. I have no time for religion as such. However, I do have deep respect for God's word, the Bible. What the Bible teaches and what religion practices, are two entirely different things. I appreciate that you took the time to post a comment. We shall just have to agree to disagree but again, thanks for your concern. Arohanui from Aotearoa New Zealand.
@@x-75hurricane65 What Bible teaches and what Religion are not two different things ! Being Religious is beyond Bible ...and you are not even close to Bible yet ... that is why your life is worthless ! You are a misguided guy like everybody nowadays ! There is no such thing as Time for being religious son ! It’s your cause of existence! Do not be a low life useless Goon ! You have not followed the Real Religion yet ! You just talk what you know !
That's why I accept people and never judge. Everyone deserves someone to talk to, or feel safe. No matter the sexuality, race, religion. I love everyone. peace to all
Well of course, it's easier. Make money, get drunk and have sex with a strager on the weekends, vacations without kids....I could go on. Serving myself seems to work out pretty well. Everyone is going to die alone in reality, until then have fun. People are generally disappointments, and resent you regardless if you are improving or devolving as an individual.
This is so sad. Who knows why the son/daughter was not involved with their parent. I’m sure they had their reasons. I love how the the crew prayed before they went inside the apartment and the overall respect they showed.
😢 I don't know what had happened; but in many cases, if we're not involved with our kids when they're little, they won't want to be involved with us when they grow up either..
Not every time but you usually get what you put in. I see this a lot lately now I'm in my 40s and see my friends and their parents having a hard time in their relationships. Now is the payback time for many people in their 40s to neglect and ignore their elderly parents.
@@ryuukakhadijah7766 your comment hits me hard my father treated us like a burden to him and that he did not involve himself to take care of us his children. Growing up i'm so jealous of seeing those little girls who was taken good care of their fathers like feeding them playing with them or just simply combing their hair. Me i did not experience those and that was the reason why i grew up having a distant relationship with my father, he maybe my father but i don't feel like he is a father to me, that's tge reason why i don't like him to be involve in my life right now 😢.
Same too, my dad is on his own. He used to beat us. He would psychologically put us down and emotionally break us down. The same was done to him, but he wasn’t smart enough not to do it to his kids too and now he has to die alone. My mother is also very self centered and in survival mode, but expects to be catered too. Horrible and narcissistic parents are the worst.
Death is usually a sad topic, but, hell it´s sad as fuck when it´s someone who died alone and nobody asked for them. I love the fact that they treat the body and the situation in such a respectful manner.
My landlord died like this. He was in a room next to me for at least a week before anyone wondered where he was. Thank God there was no smell. It was winter, home was unheated.
I personally know someone who died in a similar fashion. The body was finally discovered a few days after the person's death. It's sad but not a shock to me anymore. Life can be very cruel unfortunately.
The cleaners are so professional and I was so impressed with them and the respect they showed the deceased. It’s a dirty job and takes a special person to do what they do. Much respect
@@fashion_of_design wdym? of course it is, handling dead bodies is an extremely taxing task and it is both physically and mentally dementing. it is a respectful job of course, but physically its a very dirty job, coming into contact with old blood, rotting flesh, etc. it takes real guts to do it, so calling it a dirty job in this sense should make us respect the workers even more since few are capable of facing what they face.
A few years back, a single mother and her infant child were found dead in an apartment. Apparently the young mother had died of natural causes and her child died of thirst and starvation. I can never remove this tragedy from my memory. I do not know who she was, but as part of society, I feel somehow responsible, just like her family and friends did not check on her. I am saddened and by this story of the lonely man, however happy to see how respectful the cleaners are.
I think what struck me the most was seeing that the things he held dear just ended up in a trash bag. His whole life in trash bags. And the boxes of delivered items, things he was probably looking forward to, no idea that he'd never get to use them. But it's also put into perspective that the things I think are important actually aren't. I fear that end for myself, maybe a lot of us do.
I thought about this too. It’s a very weird feeling, too, of pity, fear and wishing to take care of those things myself instead. I don’t know why, the lost “potential” of it makes me feel very sad.
If he had raised his child to bond with his hobbies and things he held dearly maybe upon calling the cleaning service would instruct them to hold some of the valuables for the son to keep. I watched another video in a western country, the other cleaner was instructed to find a Necklace that looks like a pocket watch. If the deceased had not mentioned a lot about the necklace from his children or they had a bad relationship, it might end up in one of the Good Will branches.
The thing that fricks me up is the fact that you can see what routines they had, what food they ate, in what way they are organized, etc. Seeing such trivial things like that makes me really very emotional and props to the guys who clean, not just apartments, but entire houses maybe
Made me realize all the more why we shouldnt take our lives too seriously. We should cherish every moment we have like we're in a movie because, like all things, it will all eventually come to an end. This life is temporary. I seem to keep forgetting that and keep stressing over little things

Sadly happening all the time around the world. With hospitals packed and dealing with infection outbreaks the idea of hospital at home sounds good but it's also a fail. The idea you call for help once your sickness is at chronic levels does not work.
Sadly, due to the pandemic, people are also neglected in the hospital and die alone. My father went in with high blood sugar, but as he wasn’t a COVID patient, he wasn’t given attention. We couldn’t be with him, as there was the omicron breakout and the hospital was filled with people who refuse to get vaccinated. My wonderful, kind, sweet, and loving father died too young and completely alone of something very survivable, because selfish people won’t get the vaccine. We were all together when we got Covid-19 early and were able to take care of each other. People need to start thinking about others and caring for each other.
@@___LC___ yeah, people who choose not to get vaccines are selfish. and i have seen dumb people doing and saying stuff like: oh, the whole thing is fake! it's not like i'm gonna get infected. its all a lie! and: vaccines cause side effects! vaccines are bad! i even saw on the news that there was a crowd of protesters, not wearing masks, saying the whole thing is a lie. there was this one person somewhere on youtube that said: god will protect me! i won't get infected! (that's not exactly how it works) then he ended up in the hospital and completely regretted what he did. (i respect god, but that person wasn't very smart about the situation)
@@___LC___ it's common sense that people get a vaccine. if they don't, they risk themselves catching the virus, put their family at risk and they risk more people than they realize not just themselves. doctors already have enough as it is, and it's just not fair on others that actually need treatment. sorry for your loss. may he rest in peace. It must be hard to lose someone so close to you. i can hardly imagine how horrible that is.
It is sad to see people die alone. I understand some people just want to move away from toxic family members. Equally, some families are very dysfunctional and toxic and they can segregate family members. We don't know the story but it is definitely sad to see.
i my biological mother died i would not care less. If i were to die and she appeared at my funeral my ghost would not be able to rest in peace at that shameless piece of turd. If i were suspended from a cliff and she reached the hand to grab me i would fall down, not like i would actually expect anything from that fkr actually, picturing that scene is already doing her too big of a favor.
I liked your comment. We may leave this world alone but it would be nice to have someone caring to comfort you in your final moments, especially if you are still able to see and hear.
If anyone is interested in more of these, there is a manga series called, "Death Sweeper" which is a close realistic take on the cleaning service and what they mostly deal with. There are some over dramatization but much of it are about as close to what we see in this video.

@@k_clean0 I think its not just Japan.. but mostly first world countries with Workaholic attitude and less social interaction and some with low Family values. (Korea,Japan,USA,Singapore,Etc) you dont seldom see these kind of sheet in some third world or Developing countries.
Very true indeed, I pay respect for the deceased and the cleaner, however as insensitive this may sound, this is just another random death that has occurred and had occurred to everyone before this video and will happen to all of us one day in the future, And hey don’t forget dying in your sleep is the most peaceful way.
All of us will die but we prefer to die with loved ones around us. My father is in Hospice and will be dying soon but his wife my sister myself and his grandchildren are there every day to care for him for his last month. He also has neighbors and friends that are regularly visiting. No one should have to die all alone unless it comes suddenly and unexpected otherwise that's a cultural problem.
As a middle-aged woman who lives alone and I think I'll die alone, I wouldn't mind being able to pay for such a service in advance. I imagine an app where you activate it every day just to notify you that you are alive and when they see that you do not activate it for one or two days in a row, they can come quickly and thus facilitate the work of the cleaners and the funeral service. Thank you very much for your great work and dedication.
i'm not interested in a relationship or married life, but seeing all these people who died in their homes, alone and days or even years before their body was discovered, made me realise that it's important to have someone in the house with you.
I'm kinda having an anxiety attack watching this as I am an introvert and have not contacted my old close friends and some family but I will use this as a sign to change my ways. Thank you.
You aren't the only one friend. I've been single for going on 5 years, haven't really spoke to my friends that much. I personally couldn't find peace in dying alone. I try to visit my father as often as possible and I now try to keep in touch with my 2 best friends. I've always liked being to myself but the older I have gotten its made me realize I need to keep people in my life. I hope things get better for you.
Sorry to hear that you two are lonely, I recommend getting a pet because it's a good option, then you won't have to be so alone and you'll always have someone to talk to or spend time with even if friends or family members are busy or not there

@@weallknowteammikuisthebest4025 anxiety and other things factor into that. I go to concerts and out to dinners and bars. But our family is spread out far and they have their own families. Its not like it used to be.
When I saw the figurines that hit me hard. It’s so distant and yet it gave me that image of the young boy getting excited at a toy super hero, now a lonely old man, who died in his apartment. And in a sense it almost connected two worlds for me in a very jarring way.
I know this is a very sad situation, but the level of respect the cleaners have for this man and his property is really comforting. Thank you for all you do!
I lived in a New York City 5th floor walkup apartment. It was an old building and had 4 apartments on each floor, 2 in front/street side and 2 in the back. On the street side, lived a very old man, in his 80's and he walked up the stairs every day with his bag of groceries. he took some time to get to the 5th floor & would rest every other floor. He was a bit senial as well & would turn his back to people when they would walk by. He also wore only 2 suits & he smelled badly unfortunately. However, i would always be polite & attempt to speak with him. One day, after seeing him for 4 years he actually started a conversation with me & i was amazed. he had lived in this apartment for 50 years & his wife passed away the year before i moved in. He had nobody in his life he told me, as well. He said he lived so long by drinking water and walking everyday :) He also spoke about Whitney Houston & was so sad that she died and said it should've been him instead. Then, one morning, it was Valentine's Day, i heard Police walkie talkies in the hallway & i looked through my doors peephole & saw 3 officers in the hallway. I opened my door & they were going into his apartment. I already knew, but had to ask them & they confirmed he had passed away & our buildings Superintendent had found his body after not seeing him for days. I was saddend, evern though we weren't close. A week later, i saw that the door to his apartment was open & i was very curious to see his apartment, since i knew it hadnt been renovated for 50 years. I opened the door & went inside & it was like entering a time machine into the past! the floors were old original wood, the appliences were so old, he had a very old record player and old jazz albums too! just one bed & a small sofa. i collect records & wanted to take some of the records, since everything was going to be thrown out, but i did not. it was incredible to see how he lived, all alone in such an old way, however, moving through the streets of MODERN NYC... he always looked confused when i saw him on the block... i know he was just reminissing about the old days. I always admired him... i feel i will also pass alone, by myself & someone will find me deceased. i do have children but they are far away in another country. I'm only in my 40's but i know my destiny. I collect antique glass, vinyl records, furniture &they amass a nice amount of money. i dont want my treasures to go to waste so i've already documented all of my possesions: date of origin, value, etc and hope my children will want some of the items or someone can place my items in the right care. ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOTHERS TREASURE. God Bless these men who prayed for him & his possesions. a shame all has to be thrown out & his child wasnt concerned about his items. .. sorry for the long post, this really hit me hard...Bless You All.
I lived in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn before recently moving to NJ and I have too seen a lot of people as the old gentlemen you described. I lived on second floor above a 90 year old neighbor who had senior care professional visiting her daily. I had to visit her apartment several times to help her with various things and it was just like you described. Everything is like a time machine.
Your comment really was an interesting read. I feel so so sad whenever I think about everyone who’s life partner passed away and them ending up alone. Don’t you think you can keep in touch with your children, even if they’re far away? Or even just online friends. I know they can fulfill you pretty much the same as usual friendships with all the options you have nowadays. Meaning like video chatting or playing games together. I wish you didn’t have to feel that way about yourself, but at the same time I can relate. Much love
Thank you for watching! Please kindly subscribe to our channel to get the newest videos. Our staffs put a lot of hard work and thoughts into the cleaning work with respectful minds.
I actually cried after seeing how organized this man was, it really hit me when they showed the freezer I don’t know he seemed like a really organized man and people who are organized in my perspective are really educated and nice 🥺
I actually really envy clean people like how do they do it? Its so tiring to even get out of bed sometimes and the thought of cleaning my room already stresses me out I'll just feel more ashamed when my family points out how dirty my room is. Maybe I'm just lazy
Thank you for watching! Please kindly subscribe to our channel. You are right! We don't know him but according to his organized and tidy room, we somehow knows him a bit. It's a sad situation to be left alone and pass away lonely.

As a Brazilian it is very difficult for me to imagine this kind of scenario because we like to live very close to our family or at least talk to our loved ones every day, so this "Lonely Death" is very sad for me... but I understand that there are people living all kinds of lives and situations out there
One thing I noticed as a white male is that most Latinos while not having the best financial condition very frequently do have best social ones. They have tons of friends and family and are able to communicate in a very carefree way. A lot of Asian or white people have brutal pressure to be independent while family, friendships and romantic prospects come in second. Basically a lot of it is ingrained in the idea that intimate relationships weaken your ability to survive alone. At work I have friends who are Mexican, Ecuadorian or Peruvian who are 30-40 with more than 1 child who live with their parents. And then I have some white friends who are again in the same age bracket living alone for years. Environment and tradition has a lot to do with how a person grows up to become. This is why if I ever have kids, my primary focus would be to keep them as socially active as possible while being surrounded by a big family. Stimulation of parts of brain that have to do with human interaction and connection are the biggest deterrent of development of depression.
@@xFlared Cultural differences matter, in our country. If we are not married, usually our parents do not allow us to leave the house unless we are already working and the place of work is far from home. and if we get married we are allowed to be independent, but even if we don't have a house, our parents still let their children live with them. there is a term in the country of father and mother love throughout the masses. and in our country, we really value older people.
I'm Japanese and yes this is true, I've witnessed with my neighbour die due to lonliness and he 34, unmarried and was in mental health. His body was recovered after 2 days when the body smelled and he didn't come out to get his package or his food. It's really sad how many Japanese people die this way but yes, this is how Japan is.
My life goal is to move to Japan and start a non-profit of volunteers that regularly visit those that are lonely so this doesn't happen. Sadly, I am disabled and alone myself. So I will never accomplish the goal. But maybe someone like you can.
@@krisj5561 don't let your disability be an excuse, if you really meant what you said then some way or the other it will come to fruition, anyone can make a change in this world, changing a single persons life is also a phenomenal achievement, so don't let your disability pull you down, be an example to others. There are not many people out there who have Goals like you, the very thought of having a goal or a dream purely to help others is very inspiring and encouraging 💯, we need more people like you in this world ❤️ i hope that God opens a path for you to help people, Good luck and God bless 🙏
I live in the USA and my downstairs neighbor was dead for about 2 weeks before she was found. And she was only found because her decaying body smelled up the hall. I lived above her and there was no smell. She had a daughter and grandchildren in the same city. Also, several siblings. I don't have anyone. When I die I could very well end up like her rotting away until neighbors complain about the smell. It makes you realize that material things don't really matter. I hope the people cleaning up my rotting body take me things to either resell or keep. I prefer that over them going into a landfill.
If you are scraed, may be start joining some church and eventually some body from the church may take good care of you. BUT, don't trust everybody in the church; including the rice-bowl preacher!
That's something extremely pathetic. How come her family members didn't care about her?! I really can't comprehend... That's outrageous It was like two weeks and no family member even thought to ask how she was? Unbelievable
Hey, remember to call your grandparents and parents. Make sure they're ok. If you can go and visit them do so as often as you can. We can't let them end up like this.
There is a special name for these apartments „jiko bukken“ Finding new tenants for a flat where a lonely death occurred is extreme difficult because most Japanese people are superstitious. They believe if a death person hasn’t been send off with the right rituals the ghost will remain in the world of the living. Usually you get these apartments for a reduced price. There are special real estate companies which sell apartments where people have died inside / committed suicide
I'd rather not know if a person died in the apartment that I am living in. People die in their apartment everyday, so I'm sure a lot of people move into places without knowing.
This is also a big issue here in Scandinavia. I remember watching a documentary from Sweden, the case of an old man from a big city who was found dead on his armchair after 2 years if I remember well. Besides his family not caring for him and the modern life neighborhood (many don’t greet neighbors anymore) one of the reasons it took so long was that his pension and bills were all paid automatically on his net bank account, so no one, not even the bank, noticed he had passed. Sad but true.

Thank you guys so much for praying for him and being so respectful, I can’t even describe how much that means as person who fears dying in this same way and is very affected by stories of suicides. It gives me some small level of comfort to know you guys showed him care and love in death, even if he couldn’t have it in life.

I’m an American mortician so I’ve been able to learn a bit about crime scene cleaning services by virtue of my education and through UA-cam channels/videos about it. To me, it seems that many of the American cleanup services are quite predatory in their prices, leaving families no choice but to clean up the bits of their own family members (which is actually quite hazardous to a person’s physical health). No family should have to pick up pieces of their family member because they couldn’t afford to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of funeral expenses. I’ve also heard that the cleanup services can also be unprofessional and do a shoddy job at cleanup, which must be beyond horrible and even more traumatizing to the family. Glad to see cleanup people be so respectful of the deceased.
Research to make dead alive back.Tell every - 'Don't suicide as it's wrong. Contact a psychologist and psychiatrist to know how and why as it is trained to explain you well.
...this hurts me so so much. Every single day I think about dying in the most horrible, tramatic and worse way possible, because I hate myself that much. My mom died recently, I have no job, I never leave my house and I feel utterly worthless... but, despite all that, I'd STILL would be friends with anyone who is in this situation. I know hikikomori is a much more prevalent thing with young people, but I feel no one should die alone... I pray for this person, and hope he makes a safe journey somewhere where he can rest..
Dear, you don't have to think like this. Heaven sent your soul here to Earth to live, you are a unique person and God's creation. You have to love yourself. I know what means a depression , really. But I also know that it is not right. You need to find someone you can be friend with, or to take home a pet , and you have to study new things, explore the world etc.
I know I’m a stranger in a comments section - but if you need someone to talk to, Im here. You are not worthless, you are an amazing creation of the universe that is struggling in a world that can be problematic. I grew up seeing people in palliative care that had not been seen by family. As a 4 year old I would hug them, hold their hands and do my best to make them feel seen and appreciated. I’ll do it until I can’t.
Hello you beautiful person! It’s really upsetting to hear all that you’ve been going through, and I’m in a similar situation. I would love to be friends, just so we both have someone to talk to! Either way, just remember that you’re always enough, and you can persevere through anything (either by your own accord or with help, there’s no shame in that), and the fact that you’re still here shows how strong you are, and I’m proud of you! I know I’m just a random stranger on the internet so my words doesn’t mean much, but please at least take it into consideration❤️
To those who are living alone suffered from sleep apnea ( worst is obstructive ) or other disease I hope you all are well contacted with family or friends else do keep your health in check, as I nearly died alone myself and I've known and seen people died alone which later only discovered after a long time.
This is less depressing then most lonely deaths, seems to have been sudden and not a suicide; man took care of his house (not common with people who are suicidally depressed) and had a relationship with his child/children who showed concern for him Too many cases of people dying and only being found because they didn't pay their bills/rent and no friends or family mourn them
I’m so glad that they pray and show respect. I was watching an American cleaning show and they laugh and joke while they are doing it and say all types of inappropriate things. Americans need to show respect in general like this culture does
@@cleansetsandbaguettes5236 Don't just glorify the Japanese culture and also look at the negative sides. They might have a respectful culture but they are also far from perfect.
@@InTheNameOfLife1 I've watched a few docs on these services. I completely understand the sentiment for respect, I felt that way too, but I also understand their need to lighten the load and find ways to cope after listening to them. They are going into highly, emotionally charged situations. They are essentially first responders and are seeing things most people do not. Many of them suffer depression, go to therapists and are getting through their jobs how they can. Laughter seems a harmless way of dealing with some of the emotions they experience also. Another beautiful thing is, those crews express togetherness in their jobs. Hopefully it does help them. I have seen them express respect.
@@fanni2001 some people can leave their soul out of their body through meditation... One of them is swami vivekananda... Its basically switch off our clock.. Heart keeps pumping n meditation disconnects our soul from body after we reach the point of no return ,so we start to decompose after few hours...

I was shocked by this terrible situation, but at the same time was amazed by your respectful way to clean everything and how you prayed for this lonely man … 👏🏻
I think some men die alone because they were abusers or sexual predators and all the women and children in their lives couldn't bear to be around them. People don't just abandon their family members easily or for fun. I for one, hope my father dies alone and won't be there for him because he was never there for me, my sisters, or my mother.
It’s sad seeing people objectively alone but sometimes they are left alone for a reason. Parents do unthinkable things to abuse their children and hurt them which is why children may not contact them anymore.
The man was still young at age of 60's. There's a possibility that he died of heart attack or stroke. It mostly happens in elderlies during winter season.
@@handsomesquidward5160 It’s not young, but not THAT old. Depends on where you live i guess. Many people die in their 80’s/90’s, so compared to that, 60 is pretty young
@@handsomesquidward5160 the life expectancy of a japanese person is around 80-85, so considering that i believe 60 is young to pass away in japan yet still very reasonable.
The calander was set on November. Could be why the deceased had broken down so much. I enjoyed your video. Very sweet and respectful 🙏 ❤. American companies need lessons from you.
@@lequinntessential also...if the deceased has consumed a lot of alcohol / alcoholic they will bleed out/ liquefy ( for lack of a better word) much faster.
If I were to go like this man, I won't even care about having my funeral service as long as these professional and respectful guys come and clean up after me so that the living can continue to utilise the living space. They even made memorials for the items pre-loved by the deceased. Much respects!
I saw this and couldn’t help but cry… it’s sad to die alone! With none of your kids to be around you… breaks my heart! Please may you find rest and peace🙏🏻
I'm glad he showed reverence for the departed. None of the specialist cleaners here in the USA seem to show any respect to those lost. Peace be with you, my friend. Bless you for handling this difficult task and sparing the family from having to deal with it.
I heard that in Japan, living units or houses are cheaper if someone had died in it. There’s even a documentary on it. This was sad to see but very informative.

I think thanks to this video my life changed and turned 180° I was really depressed, not talking to anybody and wanting to die, I wanted to change but I didn't know how. When I looked at that bloody bed a shocking image of death and time flying made me realise that I dont wanted to be sad no more, and I made the first step to be more open. Not long ago I spoke about my parents about all the bullying I suffered, the things that made me an anxious person and how I became a solitary and sad guy, and it felt like a big bag of sentimental bricks was being released from my shoulders. Now i'm more talkative, and every day I try to change the perspective of my mental problems. Thankfully now I have somebody to talk about those things that hurted me.
Seeing how the room were well organized before his untimely Death give me more respect for the man. But the amount of respect you guys gave for the Man is just jaw dropping. You guys did a great job and hopefully the person that lived there may rest peacefully.

Not many people have this type of respect for someone who's recently passed away, so thank you for doing this work that surely isn't easy at all. May all the people who have passed away alone rest in peace and find peace and happiness in the afterlife👏🏻
i truly admire your respect for the man. the way you treated him and his living space was very professional. i am glad amazing people like you exist in this world. thank you for your hard work.
These cleaners are so respectful. I've never seen any like that before. So sad someone can die alone, but not to be found found for a long period of time is heart breaking.

End of the day, nothing belongs to us. We were born alone and we leave this world alone. We were born with nothing and we leave without carrying anything.
@@Tha_plague_doc which didn't happen in this case. The so call Next generation abandoned their elders to die alone. They don't care about inheritences coz they have their own life. Back to square one...nothing belongs to us.
Here in America some cleaning crews joke and laugh about the depressing situation while these honorable cleaners Treat the situation with honor and respect and felt sad by the mans lonely death
The prayer before entering and at the site of their expiry was so moving especially as someone who had a loved one pass in this manner. So much respect to you all 🌹
I took care of both my parents before they crossed over. I cannot imagine not doing so. I am impressed at the cleaning crew both for their professionalism and prayers for the deceased. Respects from 🇨🇦

Sad to say Japan is rich in economics but very very poor in human relationships & family system, they seems heartlessly perfect in the society they have created.
@@Maderlololohio the way I see it is most people are too busy trying to make a living due to the rising cost of living, gas house food prices etc. Some ppl out there working two jobs etc
@@Bunny11344 definitely true for many people. Another thing is some are young lonely and suffering mental issues. Many commented being alone and that this will be their fate. I wonder if there was an app for companions. To go shop groceries together. Go on walks etc. A way to bring people together. Do these people even want that. Do they have the energy and the mental strenght for it.
'declined the inheritance'. We will never know why. A family breach? A quarrel that could never be mended? A stubborn, unloving father? a stubborn, unloving son? Bless them all and grant them peace...
It's rare to see loving parents being abandoned by their kids. I haven't spoken to my mother for 1 year. My younger brother hasn't spoken to her in 4 years, and the oldest for 5. I was the last one to give up on her because I always thought that if she died alone, I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. I tried so hard to fix her, I forgave her so many times. Until she started using unaliving herself as a way to manipulate me for money. My husband would se me cry out of frustration and ask me why do I even bother calling to a place from which I ran away as soon as I was of age. Why did I waste my energy and mental health on her... I still think I'll feel bad when she's gone. But I cannot bring myself to care about her while she's still here.
@@ughlwtmechangerhisthabks8349 this is a different scenario, but my grandmother in her 80s lives less than a 10 minute drive away, but no one in my family (my parents and siblings) have seen her for years, because she never wanted anyone around. She could be dead for all we know. She's also gotten bad dementia over time. When she fell and got hurt (again, years ago) my mom went to the hospital and her mother didnt recognize her. My uncle has always lived with my grandmother, but who knows what's going on. I think it's sad, but she didnt want us around, so we stopped coming. Idk about recently, but my aunt would go there and the last I went I was by myself, my aunt saw me and completely ignored me. So that let me know there was no need for me to go back.
Not all relationships are good or ok to say the least, I know it far too well, eventually you'll have to leave "those people" and never look back, because if you do then they got you and they may never let you go, and they'll always keep trying to force you to come back, eventually you'll have to understand you don't need them, they need you, and you should just leave
The cleaning crew are so respectful. The way they pray over where the man had laid is lovely to see. It's a shame that so many people live alone and have nobody to check on them. I have the fear of dying alone and not being found for a while because I am alone apart from my cats. I am almost 50 with health issues. Nobody should have to be alone unless its something that you really want or choose. Either way it is sad.
That's why, even if you hate people or have social anxiety, you have to commit into finding someone or if you can a support network to rely on in times of need. It's the most important thing. This comes from a person who has had social anxiety and generalized anxiety since i was a little kid. Fortunately we have a system in our country (Italy) called "consultori psicologici" where you can talk to a therapist for free for like 8 to n sessions depending on your economical situation. So i did EMDR therapy and turned out my social anxiety was actually a symptom of PTSD. Now i still have a little bit of social anxiety but I'm more aware, and most of all i know relationship are evolutionarily essential for your survival. Of course you can survive without close relationships now, but you always have to find at least one person to rely on when your body cannot function properly anymore. Seek psychological help if you cannot do it on your own, or at least make friends online (with caution of course).
@@ryuukakhadijah7766 the average stay at a mental health clinic in Japan is also like 250~ days. There's a fear of being stuck in a bed for nearly a year, leading many to not seek any treatment. It's unfortunate.
@@FFXI_Addict 250 continuous days?? 😱 If they stay in hospital bed at interval times, for example two weeks in every two months I think that will give them a good rest away from the outside world, but staying in that long continuously probably won't do that much good.. 😢 Different cases require different solutions of course, but I don't think every patient can use that style.. After all for mental health we still need fresh air & sunshine
The thing is, sometimes those lonely people ended up pushing people away from their toxicity. My mother with NPD abused everyone around her 24/7, yet she can’t understand why she’s alone. If you treat people like trash, don’t expect them to hang around or even checkin on you.
That gives me a lot of hope to get help for my social anxiety. I've had it since I was little, but never really thought therapy would help me. Maybe its time I actually suck it up, and start to look for a therapist..
Love how respectful people are in Japan. Coming from America, it's nice to see people have respect for strangers rather than the conflict that people love so much here.
This sounds really really really bad. And I know you probably don’t mean it, but I’m really sick of people saying “oh wow japan is so perfect” unlike such and such country. Conflict exists everywhere, and glorifying japan when you have never lived there is just so weird….
This is sadly becoming the norm today - to die alone.....and it will get worse as more and more people start living and working in the big cities where loneliness eventually dominates as busy workschedules, stress, fear of the stranger, and neverending materialistic drives force people further and further apart......
Someone once said we all die alone, there is some truth to that. The saddest thing to me is how he lived alone, not how he passed away. On a lighter perspective, I really think the cleaning crew’s respect was admirable and I was glad to see that.

Why are things related to death so fascinating to me. I hope the man is resting in peace now, he seemed like a really nice and polite fellow, it's a shame he passed alone. Amazing job by the cleaning team they're really doing such a hard job, mentally and physically, not just anyone could handle a job like that so big respect to them
So kind, respectful and professional. Great job everyone, this isn't a job many can do and the ones who can are very strong and compassionate like you are. ❤ 🙏
I Don't wish Kodoku-Shi even on my enemies; some elders in this generation really do feel like they have nothing to live for after they did everything they had to do; it brings back memories of my grandmother as without reassurance she felt like a burden and thought she was ugly, but she died surrounded by family in the home and i managed to get a laugh out of her... a day before she forgot who i was. the respect shown here was touching, it warmed my heart; i feel sorry for the poor fellow; i even stopped and did a silent prayer. i really am a loss for words for how messed up this world can be..
Seeing how tidy this man is despite his living condition, i felt very sad now. Seems like a very responsible guy. I never know anyone tidier than he was. I thought I was good enough, but even after his death he managed to teach me that I can be tidier. Thank you, and my respect to you, anonymous old man 🙏
I'm amazed with how respectful they are. They're basically cleaning out his whole life but they did it with such courtesy. I feel like we learned a little bit about the deceased. Just subbed!
They are so very respectful. Also this made me want to travel for some reason, and just take a break, enjoy moments and spend some money that I work hard for. This reminded me how short life is and how most of worldly possessions would just go to trash anyways.
I feel most sorry for any person so tormented or neglected by a parent that they’ve left them to rot and die alone. We don’t know what the story is behind this video. But, as a survivor of child abuse, this video wasn’t sad to me. It filled me with hope and relief that there may be justice in the universe for the wicked that harm their children to the point that this is the result. I do not know what this man’s story is, but if he was truly a good person and parent then I am sorry for that, and he deserved better. If not, well… Thank you for sharing this video. And peace be with all of the adult children that are no contact with their families.
It has become a normal occurrence in Japan that young folks deliberately forsakes their old parents and abandoned them. In fact. The number of prisoners in japan has a very large number of elder inmates. They deliberately went and steal some small things so they can be in prison where they can have someone to care for them and have a small elderly community in jail. :(. There was a documentary show addressed this problem in Japan not too long ago. Also. I’m sorry you had to endure the abuse as a child. No children should be subjected to that. :(
@@margueritemazzeo2904. Not really. They have general respect for the people and elders generally and the display of respect is mostly just for show. It’s one of those weird facade of keeping face in public kind of thing. The younger generation is mainly focus on themselves and to get ahead. This in turn resulted in elders neglects and brushed to the side to die. There is a large number of elderlies in prison over there. They would deliberately go and commit petty crimes like stealing small things so they can be sent to prison to be with other people and to have better care for them at their end journey. There was a documentary about it not too long ago. You can do a search about Japanese elders going to prison by choice on UA-cam here and you’ll see.
i'm 33 and still alone, i got no more will to find a soulmate so i guess i can reflect this as the end of my journey later in the future. i hope whoever cleans my place up could be as respectful as these guys, it's the least i can get (maybe).
Some good family or friends to share a space with are also great as an alternative to a soul mate. There are many out there who need someone to live with.
Thank you for watching! We are making more videos, please kindly subscribe to our channel. Yes! It's so sad to see people dying alone. No one deserves lonely death. We need a loving and caring world where no one is left alone.
This is not just limited to Japan. South Korea also has special cleaning services of cleaners who handle cleaning of properties where people died, either recently, or when it has been found out someone died months ago.
There are teams like that everywhere, I presume. I have seen videos from teams in the US and UK. And there's a tv show about it here in the Netherlands. They will always be necessary, so those teams will exist.
This was so sad to see, though i adore the cleaners respect and ability to go on. To see that stain and realize someone died there, and not give up... That is brave. Thank you for working to keep spaces clean even when the omen of death is still lurking.
I find it so heart warming and cool that they pray before the clean up 🙏 it's still a soul, and a soul that went out a sad way, they are very respectful 🙏
This job and videos prove a lot of your amazing abilities and kindness. Thank you for making all of it. Personally, it makes me feel sadness but also satisfaction. It's sad to see the life of these people end. But also beautiful how you can prepare, what is left of the loss, for a new beginning.
My mom passed away alone but we kept in touch with her. My sister talked to her every morning. So the one morning she didn't respond raised alarms. A few hours later and still no response, we called police to enter the house and do a 'welfare check'. Sadly, she was gone. But at least it wasn't too long afterward when her body was recovered. She died from a lifelong battle with addiction, not necessarily loneliness. But it is very important to check up on people. Even neighbors!
…my mom’s friend has a cousins’s son that recently passed away. He lived alone and so no one knew. By the time they did welfare check and broke through the door, he was so decomposed it was said maggots stretch from his bedroom to the living room.
I feel sick to my stomach. I want to give all my condolences to the family of the loved one who died and a lot of prayers and that we will always be by their side.
I have such huge respects for people who are doing these kinds of job. I don't know what goes through their minds but seeing that they're doing this for who knows how often in a week really shows that you need strong mental health to be able to take and process the idea that someone had died in the property they're cleaning
My hat's off to the people who provide these services and the respectful way they treat the deceased. How sad it must be to be constantly confronted with these desperate situations. I'm caring for my Uncle right now who is fighting for life with kids who want no part in it. As families we need to do better at showing love and compassion....no matter how much we alienate some family it should never resort in dying alone and forgotten. :-(
it's really sad when you remember that we all live once and everything we've ever kept can just disappear like that. all the memories you've made with people, all the outfits you've gone out with, the pencils you've used, the cups and plates you've eaten off of. it's all just so sad.

I am all alone. The thing I found most touching was how respectful the cleaners were of this poor individual.
Jesus loves you so much Susan. He’s very real and with him you’re never alone. I hope you will welcome him into your heart. Praying for you now 🙏🏼❤️
I know we may not know each other and maybe we can kilometers away but I want you to know I love you. And you’re not alone.
@@xheemena4198 You lifted my spirits. Thank you.
@Susan….of course I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt when they are not being filmed that the cleaning crews bend down on their knees in the hallway and pray before entering an empty apartment or that they say prayers standing over a foul smelling, soiled mattress like shown in the video. What’s being done here may look respectful and impressive but it’s more than likely just showcasing.
@@MrScottie68 I can confirm most that do cleanups for people who died alone in Asia do actually pray before entering. It usually is connected with their beliefs.
Unfortunately it’s almost everywhere right now, this lonely death. Last year I met an old man in the hospital. He was wheelchair bound and rolling down a slope. I helped him out a bit and had a chat along the way. He told me his heart was failing and that he had no one at home, his brother had also died just two weeks back from the time I met him. After that encounter I’ve been sad every time I think about him. He was a funny man as well, had a loud and boisterous laugh, told me he often came to the hospital to watch people walk around. I hope such people can be given more help and care.
Thank you for watching!

@@k_clean0 if garbage house is what I think it is, then I don’t think that is unique to Japan. Nor is dying alone and no one missing you for weeks. Sadly, it’s a human problem, and probably happens everywhere.
I have worked in nursing homes, and though they are kind of depressing places, I suppose it’s better than being alone with no one to look out for you. I really enjoyed working there, it’s a shame those places are so understaffed and the employees always overwhelmed and busy, because the residents want nothing more than someone to just sit down with them and hold their hand and listen.
Do you have updates about how he's doing now?
at least he had you
Very sad. I am glad that the cleaning crew were professional and respectful.
@@fobbitguy I was thinking the same
They are very respectful.
Coz Japanese are respectful people...
But "Pride" is both their strength and weakness...
No wonder the son/daughter won't claim his/her parents inheritance...
Something must have happened between them...
Yes. Very well trained
Americans can’t relate
@@_.vjjsjrj._ why is everybody so obsessed w bringing america into everything
I am not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but the fact that these men stopped to kneel and offer a prayer before entering the apartment and prayed again once in the bedroom, before starting the clean up, indicated that they have profound respect for the deceased. And that is really heartwarming in today's world where lack of any respect towards anyone, dead or alive, is so prevalent....what a cold, loveless society we've become.
@@Amaan_Ahmad_786 Thank you for your concern. I have no time for religion as such. However, I do have deep respect for God's word, the Bible. What the Bible teaches and what religion practices, are two entirely different things. I appreciate that you took the time to post a comment.

@@Amaan_Ahmad_786 There is no one true belief according to quantum mechanics. All our beliefs are true at the same time.
Well of course, it's easier. Make money, get drunk and have sex with a strager on the weekends, vacations without kids....I could go on. Serving myself seems to work out pretty well. Everyone is going to die alone in reality, until then have fun. People are generally disappointments, and resent you regardless if you are improving or devolving as an individual.
This is so sad. Who knows why the son/daughter was not involved with their parent. I’m sure they had their reasons. I love how the the crew prayed before they went inside the apartment and the overall respect they showed.
😢 I don't know what had happened; but in many cases, if we're not involved with our kids when they're little, they won't want to be involved with us when they grow up either..
Not every time but you usually get what you put in. I see this a lot lately now I'm in my 40s and see my friends and their parents having a hard time in their relationships.
Now is the payback time for many people in their 40s to neglect and ignore their elderly parents.
@@ryuukakhadijah7766 your comment hits me hard my father treated us like a burden to him and that he did not involve himself to take care of us his children. Growing up i'm so jealous of seeing those little girls who was taken good care of their fathers like feeding them playing with them or just simply combing their hair. Me i did not experience those and that was the reason why i grew up having a distant relationship with my father, he maybe my father but i don't feel like he is a father to me, that's tge reason why i don't like him to be involve in my life right now 😢.
@@RandomVids4U488 Oh my God 😢 How you're feeling now?
Same too, my dad is on his own. He used to beat us. He would psychologically put us down and emotionally break us down. The same was done to him, but he wasn’t smart enough not to do it to his kids too and now he has to die alone. My mother is also very self centered and in survival mode, but expects to be catered too. Horrible and narcissistic parents are the worst.
Death is usually a sad topic, but, hell it´s sad as fuck when it´s someone who died alone and nobody asked for them. I love the fact that they treat the body and the situation in such a respectful manner.
My landlord died like this. He was in a room next to me for at least a week before anyone wondered where he was. Thank God there was no smell. It was winter, home was unheated.
Death is pure and the only truth.
@@FryedCat0 but a lonely death it is sad bro
I personally know someone who died in a similar fashion. The body was finally discovered a few days after the person's death. It's sad but not a shock to me anymore. Life can be very cruel unfortunately.
Yes indeed the respect was loverly to see.
The cleaners are so professional and I was so impressed with them and the respect they showed the deceased. It’s a dirty job and takes a special person to do what they do. Much respect
It is not a dirty job..
@@fashion_of_design wdym? of course it is, handling dead bodies is an extremely taxing task and it is both physically and mentally dementing. it is a respectful job of course, but physically its a very dirty job, coming into contact with old blood, rotting flesh, etc. it takes real guts to do it, so calling it a dirty job in this sense should make us respect the workers even more since few are capable of facing what they face.
shouldnt they wear a mask?
@@randomrazr It doesn't seem that bad and they won't inhale anything toxic, only skin protection is necessary
Its called harzadous job i guess
A few years back, a single mother and her infant child were found dead in an apartment. Apparently the young mother had died of natural causes and her child died of thirst and starvation. I can never remove this tragedy from my memory. I do not know who she was, but as part of society, I feel somehow responsible, just like her family and friends did not check on her. I am saddened and by this story of the lonely man, however happy to see how respectful the cleaners are.
How sad!

So they like committed suicide
Or
They died alone
@@veiserexab1428 whoah
Wow. So they punish the son for the sins of the father
I've been with you online so many times now
I think what struck me the most was seeing that the things he held dear just ended up in a trash bag. His whole life in trash bags. And the boxes of delivered items, things he was probably looking forward to, no idea that he'd never get to use them. But it's also put into perspective that the things I think are important actually aren't. I fear that end for myself, maybe a lot of us do.
I thought about this too. It’s a very weird feeling, too, of pity, fear and wishing to take care of those things myself instead. I don’t know why, the lost “potential” of it makes me feel very sad.
If you think about death. You should look for the creator. Is why people can't bring people to life. Soul will be separated from the body.
@@NoShadowsHere Exactly. Well said. The lost potential. Like somebody should continue to treasure those things *because* they were treasured.
If he had raised his child to bond with his hobbies and things he held dearly maybe upon calling the cleaning service would instruct them to hold some of the valuables for the son to keep. I watched another video in a western country, the other cleaner was instructed to find a Necklace that looks like a pocket watch. If the deceased had not mentioned a lot about the necklace from his children or they had a bad relationship, it might end up in one of the Good Will branches.
thats why they have a memorial ritual for the items that may be important to the deceased
The thing that fricks me up is the fact that you can see what routines they had, what food they ate, in what way they are organized, etc. Seeing such trivial things like that makes me really very emotional and props to the guys who clean, not just apartments, but entire houses maybe
Indeed, I'd be having constant nightmares because I'd be so upset seeing all that
Made me realize all the more why we shouldnt take our lives too seriously. We should cherish every moment we have like we're in a movie because, like all things, it will all eventually come to an end. This life is temporary. I seem to keep forgetting that and keep stressing over little things
Exactly how I felt..

Sadly happening all the time around the world. With hospitals packed and dealing with infection outbreaks the idea of hospital at home sounds good but it's also a fail. The idea you call for help once your sickness is at chronic levels does not work.
Thank you for watching. It's so sad to pass away alone.
Sadly, due to the pandemic, people are also neglected in the hospital and die alone. My father went in with high blood sugar, but as he wasn’t a COVID patient, he wasn’t given attention. We couldn’t be with him, as there was the omicron breakout and the hospital was filled with people who refuse to get vaccinated.
My wonderful, kind, sweet, and loving father died too young and completely alone of something very survivable, because selfish people won’t get the vaccine. We were all together when we got Covid-19 early and were able to take care of each other. People need to start thinking about others and caring for each other.
fuck the white coats
@@___LC___ yeah, people who choose not to get vaccines are selfish. and i have seen dumb people doing and saying stuff like: oh, the whole thing is fake! it's not like i'm gonna get infected. its all a lie! and: vaccines cause side effects! vaccines are bad!
i even saw on the news that there was a crowd of protesters, not wearing masks, saying the whole thing is a lie.
there was this one person somewhere on youtube that said: god will protect me! i won't get infected! (that's not exactly how it works) then he ended up in the hospital and completely regretted what he did.
(i respect god, but that person wasn't very smart about the situation)
@@___LC___ it's common sense that people get a vaccine. if they don't, they risk themselves catching the virus, put their family at risk and they risk more people than they realize not just themselves. doctors already have enough as it is, and it's just not fair on others that actually need treatment.
sorry for your loss. may he rest in peace. It must be hard to lose someone so close to you. i can hardly imagine how horrible that is.
It is sad to see people die alone. I understand some people just want to move away from toxic family members. Equally, some families are very dysfunctional and toxic and they can segregate family members. We don't know the story but it is definitely sad to see.
Speak for yourself. We all die alone, or death journey is our own
i my biological mother died i would not care less.
If i were to die and she appeared at my funeral my ghost would not be able to rest in peace at that shameless piece of turd. If i were suspended from a cliff and she reached the hand to grab me i would fall down, not like i would actually expect anything from that fkr actually, picturing that scene is already doing her too big of a favor.
I liked your comment. We may leave this world alone but it would be nice to have someone caring to comfort you in your final moments, especially if you are still able to see and hear.
@@alicelong3613 So you think that dying alone is the way to go?
@@alicelong3613 how rude
If anyone is interested in more of these, there is a manga series called, "Death Sweeper" which is a close realistic take on the cleaning service and what they mostly deal with. There are some over dramatization but much of it are about as close to what we see in this video.
Thanks for the recommendation!

@@k_clean0 確かに私は購読します、そうすることで私が見落とさなければならなかったことをお詫びします。素晴らしい一日を過ごして、あなたがしていることを続けてください。南カリフォルニアからよろしく
@@k_clean0 I think its not just Japan.. but mostly first world countries with Workaholic attitude and less social interaction and some with low Family values. (Korea,Japan,USA,Singapore,Etc) you dont seldom see these kind of sheet in some third world or Developing countries.
Very true indeed, I pay respect for the deceased and the cleaner, however as insensitive this may sound, this is just another random death that has occurred and had occurred to everyone before this video and will happen to all of us one day in the future, And hey don’t forget dying in your sleep is the most peaceful way.
All of us will die but we prefer to die with loved ones around us. My father is in Hospice and will be dying soon but his wife my sister myself and his grandchildren are there every day to care for him for his last month. He also has neighbors and friends that are regularly visiting. No one should have to die all alone unless it comes suddenly and unexpected otherwise that's a cultural problem.
As a middle-aged woman who lives alone and I think I'll die alone, I wouldn't mind being able to pay for such a service in advance. I imagine an app where you activate it every day just to notify you that you are alive and when they see that you do not activate it for one or two days in a row, they can come quickly and thus facilitate the work of the cleaners and the funeral service. Thank you very much for your great work and dedication.
Madam dont you feel lonely?
You’re middle aged, not 90. Don’t be so down on yourself
Wow. Didn't know an app like that exists. Need that in case something happens to me at home so my cats can be taken care of..
@@pamelamorrisonnshe stated that she believes that there could be an app, but said app might or might not exist.
@@shizune_ Ok thanx
i'm not interested in a relationship or married life, but seeing all these people who died in their homes, alone and days or even years before their body was discovered, made me realise that it's important to have someone in the house with you.
That's why you should at least have a Pet
@@hurricane7727 probably the pet will eat you but yeah

I'm kinda having an anxiety attack watching this as I am an introvert and have not contacted my old close friends and some family but I will use this as a sign to change my ways. Thank you.
You aren't the only one friend. I've been single for going on 5 years, haven't really spoke to my friends that much. I personally couldn't find peace in dying alone. I try to visit my father as often as possible and I now try to keep in touch with my 2 best friends. I've always liked being to myself but the older I have gotten its made me realize I need to keep people in my life. I hope things get better for you.
@@RebelGaming4U Why are you guys even secluding yourselves?
Sorry to hear that you two are lonely, I recommend getting a pet because it's a good option, then you won't have to be so alone and you'll always have someone to talk to or spend time with even if friends or family members are busy or not there

It's indeed very sad. We need a caring and loving society. People care for others and no one deserves be left alone.
@@weallknowteammikuisthebest4025 anxiety and other things factor into that. I go to concerts and out to dinners and bars. But our family is spread out far and they have their own families. Its not like it used to be.
When I saw the figurines that hit me hard. It’s so distant and yet it gave me that image of the young boy getting excited at a toy super hero, now a lonely old man, who died in his apartment. And in a sense it almost connected two worlds for me in a very jarring way.
Not only that, his son had no interest in any of mans belongings that he held dear.
I know this is a very sad situation, but the level of respect the cleaners have for this man and his property is really comforting. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it a lot!
Japanese dont treat dead people like Dogs the same way you White people do,as you have no moral value and no respect for humanity
I lived in a New York City 5th floor walkup apartment. It was an old building and had 4 apartments on each floor, 2 in front/street side and 2 in the back. On the street side, lived a very old man, in his 80's and he walked up the stairs every day with his bag of groceries. he took some time to get to the 5th floor & would rest every other floor. He was a bit senial as well & would turn his back to people when they would walk by. He also wore only 2 suits & he smelled badly unfortunately. However, i would always be polite & attempt to speak with him. One day, after seeing him for 4 years he actually started a conversation with me & i was amazed. he had lived in this apartment for 50 years & his wife passed away the year before i moved in. He had nobody in his life he told me, as well. He said he lived so long by drinking water and walking everyday :) He also spoke about Whitney Houston & was so sad that she died and said it should've been him instead. Then, one morning, it was Valentine's Day, i heard Police walkie talkies in the hallway & i looked through my doors peephole & saw 3 officers in the hallway. I opened my door & they were going into his apartment. I already knew, but had to ask them & they confirmed he had passed away & our buildings Superintendent had found his body after not seeing him for days. I was saddend, evern though we weren't close. A week later, i saw that the door to his apartment was open & i was very curious to see his apartment, since i knew it hadnt been renovated for 50 years. I opened the door & went inside & it was like entering a time machine into the past! the floors were old original wood, the appliences were so old, he had a very old record player and old jazz albums too! just one bed & a small sofa. i collect records & wanted to take some of the records, since everything was going to be thrown out, but i did not. it was incredible to see how he lived, all alone in such an old way, however, moving through the streets of MODERN NYC... he always looked confused when i saw him on the block... i know he was just reminissing about the old days. I always admired him... i feel i will also pass alone, by myself & someone will find me deceased. i do have children but they are far away in another country. I'm only in my 40's but i know my destiny. I collect antique glass, vinyl records, furniture &they amass a nice amount of money. i dont want my treasures to go to waste so i've already documented all of my possesions: date of origin, value, etc and hope my children will want some of the items or someone can place my items in the right care. ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOTHERS TREASURE. God Bless these men who prayed for him & his possesions. a shame all has to be thrown out & his child wasnt concerned about his items. .. sorry for the long post, this really hit me hard...Bless You All.
Really interesting read, ty
I lived in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn before recently moving to NJ and I have too seen a lot of people as the old gentlemen you described. I lived on second floor above a 90 year old neighbor who had senior care professional visiting her daily. I had to visit her apartment several times to help her with various things and it was just like you described. Everything is like a time machine.
Bro wrote an entire book😟
God bless !
Your comment really was an interesting read. I feel so so sad whenever I think about everyone who’s life partner passed away and them ending up alone.
Don’t you think you can keep in touch with your children, even if they’re far away? Or even just online friends. I know they can fulfill you pretty much the same as usual friendships with all the options you have nowadays. Meaning like video chatting or playing games together. I wish you didn’t have to feel that way about yourself, but at the same time I can relate. Much love
I love the respect being shown by complete strangers. They are doing such an important job that not many could even understand.

I actually cried after seeing how organized this man was, it really hit me when they showed the freezer
I don’t know he seemed like a really organized man and people who are organized in my perspective are really educated and nice 🥺
I actually really envy clean people like how do they do it? Its so tiring to even get out of bed sometimes and the thought of cleaning my room already stresses me out I'll just feel more ashamed when my family points out how dirty my room is. Maybe I'm just lazy

That organization is the OCD horror of finding solacein a world with nothing to do and nowhere to go.
This gentleman was obviously very self-sufficient and able-bodied.
It’s like he went to sleep and never woke up.
Not a bad way to go.
As a Brazilian it is very difficult for me to imagine this kind of scenario because we like to live very close to our family or at least talk to our loved ones every day, so this "Lonely Death" is very sad for me... but I understand that there are people living all kinds of lives and situations out there
É muito comum no Japão esse fenômeno chamado hikikomori, tem até serviços pra ajudarem essas pessoas a saírem de casa
One thing I noticed as a white male is that most Latinos while not having the best financial condition very frequently do have best social ones. They have tons of friends and family and are able to communicate in a very carefree way. A lot of Asian or white people have brutal pressure to be independent while family, friendships and romantic prospects come in second. Basically a lot of it is ingrained in the idea that intimate relationships weaken your ability to survive alone. At work I have friends who are Mexican, Ecuadorian or Peruvian who are 30-40 with more than 1 child who live with their parents. And then I have some white friends who are again in the same age bracket living alone for years. Environment and tradition has a lot to do with how a person grows up to become. This is why if I ever have kids, my primary focus would be to keep them as socially active as possible while being surrounded by a big family. Stimulation of parts of brain that have to do with human interaction and connection are the biggest deterrent of development of depression.
I really don't like that way of living, never being able to get away from 🎺LA FAMILIA🎺.
You can get away and also live by yourself. But we know that's good to have someone to look for you, and care for your presence.
@@xFlared Cultural differences matter, in our country. If we are not married, usually our parents do not allow us to leave the house unless we are already working and the place of work is far from home. and if we get married we are allowed to be independent, but even if we don't have a house, our parents still let their children live with them. there is a term in the country of father and mother love throughout the masses. and in our country, we really value older people.
I'm Japanese and yes this is true, I've witnessed with my neighbour die due to lonliness and he 34, unmarried and was in mental health. His body was recovered after 2 days when the body smelled and he didn't come out to get his package or his food. It's really sad how many Japanese people die this way but yes, this is how Japan is.
My life goal is to move to Japan and start a non-profit of volunteers that regularly visit those that are lonely so this doesn't happen. Sadly, I am disabled and alone myself. So I will never accomplish the goal. But maybe someone like you can.
@@krisj5561 I’ll keep it in mind good idea
I love Japanese people and culture I’m from Philippines
Not just Japan!
@@krisj5561 don't let your disability be an excuse, if you really meant what you said then some way or the other it will come to fruition, anyone can make a change in this world, changing a single persons life is also a phenomenal achievement, so don't let your disability pull you down, be an example to others. There are not many people out there who have Goals like you, the very thought of having a goal or a dream purely to help others is very inspiring and encouraging 💯, we need more people like you in this world ❤️ i hope that God opens a path for you to help people, Good luck and God bless 🙏
I live in the USA and my downstairs neighbor was dead for about 2 weeks before she was found. And she was only found because her decaying body smelled up the hall. I lived above her and there was no smell. She had a daughter and grandchildren in the same city. Also, several siblings. I don't have anyone. When I die I could very well end up like her rotting away until neighbors complain about the smell. It makes you realize that material things don't really matter. I hope the people cleaning up my rotting body take me things to either resell or keep. I prefer that over them going into a landfill.
Hi miss I can talk with you
If you are scraed, may be start joining some church and eventually some body from the church may take good care of you. BUT, don't trust everybody in the church; including the rice-bowl preacher!
Why do you not want anyone to check on you?
That's something extremely pathetic. How come her family members didn't care about her?! I really can't comprehend... That's outrageous
It was like two weeks and no family member even thought to ask how she was? Unbelievable
@Anita G. Andrade No, that happens in rare cases. Family members do care
Hey, remember to call your grandparents and parents. Make sure they're ok. If you can go and visit them do so as often as you can. We can't let them end up like this.
That's why in Pakistan kids still live with their parents after marriage too
There is a special name for these apartments „jiko bukken“
Finding new tenants for a flat where a lonely death occurred is extreme difficult because most Japanese people are superstitious. They believe if a death person hasn’t been send off with the right rituals the ghost will remain in the world of the living.
Usually you get these apartments for a reduced price. There are special real estate companies which sell apartments where people have died inside / committed suicide
There is a video on this, can be found on Asian Boss YT channel
Thanks for explaining! :)
If I ever go to Japan, I will ask if the apartment is a "Jiko Bukken".
Sorry ma bad English
I'd rather not know if a person died in the apartment that I am living in. People die in their apartment everyday, so I'm sure a lot of people move into places without knowing.
It probably be haunted innit
@@Cal3000 same with hotel rooms, and homes. Some states make you disclose if a person has passed in the home.
This is also a big issue here in Scandinavia. I remember watching a documentary from Sweden, the case of an old man from a big city who was found dead on his armchair after 2 years if I remember well. Besides his family not caring for him and the modern life neighborhood (many don’t greet neighbors anymore) one of the reasons it took so long was that his pension and bills were all paid automatically on his net bank account, so no one, not even the bank, noticed he had passed. Sad but true.
You norses sure have become quite the dying breed...
Do you know the name of the documentary?
@@nelak7998 can’t remember. I believe it was from SVT, the Swedish public television.
@@undpqbnu The Scandinavians are responsible for their 'modern' neighbourhoods full of 'Scandinavians'.

It's indeed very sad situations and is increasing, especially during the pandemic time. We need a caring and loving society. People care for others and no one deserves to be left alone.
I’m an American mortician so I’ve been able to learn a bit about crime scene cleaning services by virtue of my education and through UA-cam channels/videos about it. To me, it seems that many of the American cleanup services are quite predatory in their prices, leaving families no choice but to clean up the bits of their own family members (which is actually quite hazardous to a person’s physical health). No family should have to pick up pieces of their family member because they couldn’t afford to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of funeral expenses. I’ve also heard that the cleanup services can also be unprofessional and do a shoddy job at cleanup, which must be beyond horrible and even more traumatizing to the family. Glad to see cleanup people be so respectful of the deceased.
And we’re said to be the best country in the world smh Lmao
Sadly, starting with the US government, everything in this country is corrupt.
@@erathen6311 claimed by yourselves. But well, you know 10k USD for an ambulance...
Research to make dead alive back.Tell every - 'Don't suicide as it's wrong. Contact a psychologist and psychiatrist to know how and why as it is trained to explain you well.
Well said. I have seen it alot on yt that the cleaners mock the victim. Thats insane.
...this hurts me so so much.
Every single day I think about dying in the most horrible, tramatic and worse way possible, because I hate myself that much. My mom died recently, I have no job, I never leave my house and I feel utterly worthless...
but, despite all that, I'd STILL would be friends with anyone who is in this situation. I know hikikomori is a much more prevalent thing with young people, but I feel no one should die alone...
I pray for this person, and hope he makes a safe journey somewhere where he can rest..
Dear, you don't have to think like this. Heaven sent your soul here to Earth to live, you are a unique person and God's creation. You have to love yourself. I know what means a depression , really. But I also know that it is not right. You need to find someone you can be friend with, or to take home a pet , and you have to study new things, explore the world etc.
I know I’m a stranger in a comments section - but if you need someone to talk to, Im here. You are not worthless, you are an amazing creation of the universe that is struggling in a world that can be problematic. I grew up seeing people in palliative care that had not been seen by family. As a 4 year old I would hug them, hold their hands and do my best to make them feel seen and appreciated. I’ll do it until I can’t.
Hello you beautiful person! It’s really upsetting to hear all that you’ve been going through, and I’m in a similar situation. I would love to be friends, just so we both have someone to talk to! Either way, just remember that you’re always enough, and you can persevere through anything (either by your own accord or with help, there’s no shame in that), and the fact that you’re still here shows how strong you are, and I’m proud of you! I know I’m just a random stranger on the internet so my words doesn’t mean much, but please at least take it into consideration❤️
You're not worthless! Just try to get a job and live life like your mom would want ❤️
Jesus loves you
To those who are living alone suffered from sleep apnea ( worst is obstructive ) or other disease I hope you all are well contacted with family or friends else do keep your health in check, as I nearly died alone myself and I've known and seen people died alone which later only discovered after a long time.
This is less depressing then most lonely deaths, seems to have been sudden and not a suicide; man took care of his house (not common with people who are suicidally depressed) and had a relationship with his child/children who showed concern for him
Too many cases of people dying and only being found because they didn't pay their bills/rent and no friends or family mourn them
I’m so glad that they pray and show respect. I was watching an American cleaning show and they laugh and joke while they are doing it and say all types of inappropriate things.
Americans need to show respect in general like this culture does
The american culture does not even compare to the respectful cutlture that the Japanese live.
@@cleansetsandbaguettes5236 Don't just glorify the Japanese culture and also look at the negative sides. They might have a respectful culture but they are also far from perfect.
@@munimuz.6283 of course, but the respect element is certainly something we can learn from in the U.S.
@@InTheNameOfLife1 I've watched a few docs on these services. I completely understand the sentiment for respect, I felt that way too, but I also understand their need to lighten the load and find ways to cope after listening to them. They are going into highly, emotionally charged situations. They are essentially first responders and are seeing things most people do not. Many of them suffer depression, go to therapists and are getting through their jobs how they can. Laughter seems a harmless way of dealing with some of the emotions they experience also. Another beautiful thing is, those crews express togetherness in their jobs. Hopefully it does help them. I have seen them express respect.
It’s because that’s how we deal with death. It also depends on the scene.
He was so organized and clean.
It almost looks like he was waiting visitors.
Exactly my thought, can you imagine going to grocery shopping one day and then the next day you just pass away.. crazy how life can be...

I was shocked by this terrible situation, but at the same time was amazed by your respectful way to clean everything and how you prayed for this lonely man … 👏🏻
Never thought, dying alone can be this painful 😢
Please never abandon your parents or family 😔
I think some men die alone because they were abusers or sexual predators and all the women and children in their lives couldn't bear to be around them. People don't just abandon their family members easily or for fun. I for one, hope my father dies alone and won't be there for him because he was never there for me, my sisters, or my mother.
@@suekim1147 Sorry to hear that 😔
Yeah, you are right. That's one of a reason.
It’s sad seeing people objectively alone but sometimes they are left alone for a reason. Parents do unthinkable things to abuse their children and hurt them which is why children may not contact them anymore.
Yeah… cuz abusive parents don’t exist at all….

@@lequinntessential also...if the deceased has consumed a lot of alcohol / alcoholic they will bleed out/ liquefy ( for lack of a better word) much faster.
@@rachelchan2918 how far do you want me to break it down? Death is in a few phases. But the blood in an alcoholic breaks down differently.
If I were to go like this man, I won't even care about having my funeral service as long as these professional and respectful guys come and clean up after me so that the living can continue to utilise the living space. They even made memorials for the items pre-loved by the deceased. Much respects!
I saw this and couldn’t help but cry… it’s sad to die alone! With none of your kids to be around you… breaks my heart! Please may you find rest and peace🙏🏻
I'm glad he showed reverence for the departed. None of the specialist cleaners here in the USA seem to show any respect to those lost. Peace be with you, my friend. Bless you for handling this difficult task and sparing the family from having to deal with it.
I heard that in Japan, living units or houses are cheaper if someone had died in it. There’s even a documentary on it. This was sad to see but very informative.

I think thanks to this video my life changed and turned 180° I was really depressed, not talking to anybody and wanting to die, I wanted to change but I didn't know how. When I looked at that bloody bed a shocking image of death and time flying made me realise that I dont wanted to be sad no more, and I made the first step to be more open. Not long ago I spoke about my parents about all the bullying I suffered, the things that made me an anxious person and how I became a solitary and sad guy, and it felt like a big bag of sentimental bricks was being released from my shoulders. Now i'm more talkative, and every day I try to change the perspective of my mental problems. Thankfully now I have somebody to talk about those things that hurted me.

We hope a better caring and loving society, no one deserves to be left alone.

May God bless you with infinite amounts of mercy for being a kind child to your parents.
I feel sad for the man who passed away in the apartment. Hopefully he found peace now. I also like how educational the video is, death is a part of life too.

Sad to say Japan is rich in economics but very very poor in human relationships & family system, they seems heartlessly perfect in the society they have created.
What? I see Japan respect their elders far more than other societies. That's pretty racist.
This is a global modern issue where people care more about themselves than spending time w their elderly.
@@Maderlololohio the way I see it is most people are too busy trying to make a living due to the rising cost of living, gas house food prices etc. Some ppl out there working two jobs etc
@@Bunny11344 definitely true for many people. Another thing is some are young lonely and suffering mental issues. Many commented being alone and that this will be their fate. I wonder if there was an app for companions. To go shop groceries together. Go on walks etc. A way to bring people together. Do these people even want that. Do they have the energy and the mental strenght for it.
@@Maderlololohio That’s a great idea for an app.
'declined the inheritance'. We will never know why. A family breach? A quarrel that could never be mended? A stubborn, unloving father? a stubborn, unloving son? Bless them all and grant them peace...
It's rare to see loving parents being abandoned by their kids.
I haven't spoken to my mother for 1 year. My younger brother hasn't spoken to her in 4 years, and the oldest for 5.
I was the last one to give up on her because I always thought that if she died alone, I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. I tried so hard to fix her, I forgave her so many times. Until she started using unaliving herself as a way to manipulate me for money. My husband would se me cry out of frustration and ask me why do I even bother calling to a place from which I ran away as soon as I was of age. Why did I waste my energy and mental health on her...
I still think I'll feel bad when she's gone.
But I cannot bring myself to care about her while she's still here.
@@ughlwtmechangerhisthabks8349 this is a different scenario, but my grandmother in her 80s lives less than a 10 minute drive away, but no one in my family (my parents and siblings) have seen her for years, because she never wanted anyone around. She could be dead for all we know. She's also gotten bad dementia over time. When she fell and got hurt (again, years ago) my mom went to the hospital and her mother didnt recognize her. My uncle has always lived with my grandmother, but who knows what's going on. I think it's sad, but she didnt want us around, so we stopped coming. Idk about recently, but my aunt would go there and the last I went I was by myself, my aunt saw me and completely ignored me. So that let me know there was no need for me to go back.
Not all relationships are good or ok to say the least, I know it far too well, eventually you'll have to leave "those people" and never look back, because if you do then they got you and they may never let you go, and they'll always keep trying to force you to come back, eventually you'll have to understand you don't need them, they need you, and you should just leave
Sad that his various possessions couldn't be donated to people who need the,.
The cleaning crew are so respectful. The way they pray over where the man had laid is lovely to see. It's a shame that so many people live alone and have nobody to check on them. I have the fear of dying alone and not being found for a while because I am alone apart from my cats. I am almost 50 with health issues. Nobody should have to be alone unless its something that you really want or choose. Either way it is sad.
I hate to break it to you, but cats are known for eating the bodies of their deceased owners
That's why, even if you hate people or have social anxiety, you have to commit into finding someone or if you can a support network to rely on in times of need. It's the most important thing. This comes from a person who has had social anxiety and generalized anxiety since i was a little kid. Fortunately we have a system in our country (Italy) called "consultori psicologici" where you can talk to a therapist for free for like 8 to n sessions depending on your economical situation. So i did EMDR therapy and turned out my social anxiety was actually a symptom of PTSD. Now i still have a little bit of social anxiety but I'm more aware, and most of all i know relationship are evolutionarily essential for your survival. Of course you can survive without close relationships now, but you always have to find at least one person to rely on when your body cannot function properly anymore. Seek psychological help if you cannot do it on your own, or at least make friends online (with caution of course).
The price for these treatments in Japan is expensive though.. 😢 Probably why they don't even bother to go to the doctor..
@@ryuukakhadijah7766 the average stay at a mental health clinic in Japan is also like 250~ days. There's a fear of being stuck in a bed for nearly a year, leading many to not seek any treatment. It's unfortunate.
@@FFXI_Addict 250 continuous days?? 😱 If they stay in hospital bed at interval times, for example two weeks in every two months I think that will give them a good rest away from the outside world, but staying in that long continuously probably won't do that much good.. 😢 Different cases require different solutions of course, but I don't think every patient can use that style.. After all for mental health we still need fresh air & sunshine
The thing is, sometimes those lonely people ended up pushing people away from their toxicity.
My mother with NPD abused everyone around her 24/7, yet she can’t understand why she’s alone. If you treat people like trash, don’t expect them to hang around or even checkin on you.
That gives me a lot of hope to get help for my social anxiety. I've had it since I was little, but never really thought therapy would help me. Maybe its time I actually suck it up, and start to look for a therapist..
Love how respectful people are in Japan. Coming from America, it's nice to see people have respect for strangers rather than the conflict that people love so much here.
This sounds really really really bad. And I know you probably don’t mean it, but I’m really sick of people saying “oh wow japan is so perfect” unlike such and such country. Conflict exists everywhere, and glorifying japan when you have never lived there is just so weird….
このような動画は新鮮なので興味深いです！英訳等大変だったと思いますが、動画アップありがとうございます！
This is sadly becoming the norm today - to die alone.....and it will get worse as more and more people start living and working in the big cities where loneliness eventually dominates as busy workschedules, stress, fear of the stranger, and neverending materialistic drives force people further and further apart......
It needs to change, but big companies don’t give a fuck about anything except money.
@@JohnBatmanReal you blame companies for the disintegration of the family unit? lol
@@sodacan1415 yeah, so many people work for long hours just to come back home when it’s after dinner time
Someone once said we all die alone, there is some truth to that. The saddest thing to me is how he lived alone, not how he passed away.
On a lighter perspective, I really think the cleaning crew’s respect was admirable and I was glad to see that.
They are so respectful. It's beautiful.
Thank you for watching.

Why are things related to death so fascinating to me. I hope the man is resting in peace now, he seemed like a really nice and polite fellow, it's a shame he passed alone. Amazing job by the cleaning team they're really doing such a hard job, mentally and physically, not just anyone could handle a job like that so big respect to them
So kind, respectful and professional. Great job everyone, this isn't a job many can do and the ones who can are very strong and compassionate like you are. ❤ 🙏
This is so sad 😭 dying like this knowing that he has a child .. So sad .. May he Rest In Peace..
Respect to these hard workers. Imagine if there was no one in society willing to do this. It would be terrible
@@bhson95 lol what
@@bhson95 you are to young to be on the internet.
I Don't wish Kodoku-Shi even on my enemies; some elders in this generation really do feel like they have nothing to live for after they did everything they had to do; it brings back memories of my grandmother as without reassurance she felt like a burden and thought she was ugly, but she died surrounded by family in the home and i managed to get a laugh out of her... a day before she forgot who i was. the respect shown here was touching, it warmed my heart; i feel sorry for the poor fellow; i even stopped and did a silent prayer. i really am a loss for words for how messed up this world can be..
Japanese are very thoughtful people. To see them pray before they even go into his apartment is really cool to see.
There is a grace and a professionalism to these cleaners that heals the heart to some degree.
Seeing how tidy this man is despite his living condition, i felt very sad now. Seems like a very responsible guy. I never know anyone tidier than he was. I thought I was good enough, but even after his death he managed to teach me that I can be tidier.
Thank you, and my respect to you, anonymous old man 🙏
I'm amazed with how respectful they are. They're basically cleaning out his whole life but they did it with such courtesy. I feel like we learned a little bit about the deceased. Just subbed!
They are so very respectful. Also this made me want to travel for some reason, and just take a break, enjoy moments and spend some money that I work hard for. This reminded me how short life is and how most of worldly possessions would just go to trash anyways.

I feel most sorry for any person so tormented or neglected by a parent that they’ve left them to rot and die alone. We don’t know what the story is behind this video. But, as a survivor of child abuse, this video wasn’t sad to me. It filled me with hope and relief that there may be justice in the universe for the wicked that harm their children to the point that this is the result. I do not know what this man’s story is, but if he was truly a good person and parent then I am sorry for that, and he deserved better. If not, well…
Thank you for sharing this video. And peace be with all of the adult children that are no contact with their families.
It has become a normal occurrence in Japan that young folks deliberately forsakes their old parents and abandoned them. In fact. The number of prisoners in japan has a very large number of elder inmates. They deliberately went and steal some small things so they can be in prison where they can have someone to care for them and have a small elderly community in jail. :(. There was a documentary show addressed this problem in Japan not too long ago. Also. I’m sorry you had to endure the abuse as a child. No children should be subjected to that. :(
@@yf222000 I thought they respected the elderly there and took care of them in old age..??
@@margueritemazzeo2904. Not really. They have general respect for the people and elders generally and the display of respect is mostly just for show. It’s one of those weird facade of keeping face in public kind of thing. The younger generation is mainly focus on themselves and to get ahead. This in turn resulted in elders neglects and brushed to the side to die. There is a large number of elderlies in prison over there. They would deliberately go and commit petty crimes like stealing small things so they can be sent to prison to be with other people and to have better care for them at their end journey. There was a documentary about it not too long ago. You can do a search about Japanese elders going to prison by choice on UA-cam here and you’ll see.
@@yf222000 Wow..my eyes have been opened now..this is sad and tragic.. 😭💔
This is such a sad situation. It was heartwarming how respectful and efficient the crew were while they cleaned. They truly are good at what they do.
i'm 33 and still alone, i got no more will to find a soulmate so i guess i can reflect this as the end of my journey later in the future. i hope whoever cleans my place up could be as respectful as these guys, it's the least i can get (maybe).
33 is still young .
Don't give up on yourself yet you literally still had a long way to go
same here, apparently I was born with no "soulmate"
Some good family or friends to share a space with are also great as an alternative to a soul mate. There are many out there who need someone to live with.
Im 34 and no family. We'll be alright. Dont lose hope
Seeing videos like these really makes you appreciate the people around you. I hope the individuals soul is at rest

Yes! It's so sad to see people dying alone. No one deserves lonely death. We need a loving and caring world where no one is left alone.
This is not just limited to Japan. South Korea also has special cleaning services of cleaners who handle cleaning of properties where people died, either recently, or when it has been found out someone died months ago.
There are teams like that everywhere, I presume. I have seen videos from teams in the US and UK. And there's a tv show about it here in the Netherlands. They will always be necessary, so those teams will exist.
If u look more closely it's not one or a few countries ITS MOST OF THIS PLANET\SOCIETY that is so fukd and keeps on getting worse.
This was so sad to see, though i adore the cleaners respect and ability to go on. To see that stain and realize someone died there, and not give up... That is brave. Thank you for working to keep spaces clean even when the omen of death is still lurking.
I find it so heart warming and cool that they pray before the clean up 🙏 it's still a soul, and a soul that went out a sad way, they are very respectful 🙏
This job and videos prove a lot of your amazing abilities and kindness. Thank you for making all of it.
Personally, it makes me feel sadness but also satisfaction. It's sad to see the life of these people end. But also beautiful how you can prepare, what is left of the loss, for a new beginning.
May he Rest In Peace. Sad the man and his child did not have a good relationship.
My mom passed away alone but we kept in touch with her. My sister talked to her every morning. So the one morning she didn't respond raised alarms. A few hours later and still no response, we called police to enter the house and do a 'welfare check'. Sadly, she was gone. But at least it wasn't too long afterward when her body was recovered.
She died from a lifelong battle with addiction, not necessarily loneliness. But it is very important to check up on people. Even neighbors!
…my mom’s friend has a cousins’s son that recently passed away. He lived alone and so no one knew. By the time they did welfare check and broke through the door, he was so decomposed it was said maggots stretch from his bedroom to the living room.
At what age? If it's okay to ask. And umm... is it in an apartment? Or condo? Or a house?
Such respect was given in this video. My hat's off to you. Such maturity.
Thank you for watching the video.
I feel sick to my stomach. I want to give all my condolences to the family of the loved one who died and a lot of prayers and that we will always be by their side.
I have such huge respects for people who are doing these kinds of job. I don't know what goes through their minds but seeing that they're doing this for who knows how often in a week really shows that you need strong mental health to be able to take and process the idea that someone had died in the property they're cleaning
My hat's off to the people who provide these services and the respectful way they treat the deceased. How sad it must be to be constantly confronted with these desperate situations. I'm caring for my Uncle right now who is fighting for life with kids who want no part in it. As families we need to do better at showing love and compassion....no matter how much we alienate some family it should never resort in dying alone and forgotten. :-(
it's really sad when you remember that we all live once and everything we've ever kept can just disappear like that. all the memories you've made with people, all the outfits you've gone out with, the pencils you've used, the cups and plates you've eaten off of. it's all just so sad.
