What happens when the pressure of society becomes too much to bear? In Japan, the answer for many is to simply cease to exist in their current lives.Join Jeff Dixon for the second installment of our look into the "Evaporating People" of Japan.

We uncover the story of Shao Hattori and the "Nighttime Movers," a business dedicated to helping citizens flee debt and shame under the cover of darkness.In a country with no national tracking database and laws that protect the privacy of those who run, disappearing isn't just possible—it’s an industry.#Japan #MissingPersons #UrbanLoneliness #NighttimeMovers #Mystery #Sociology #Disappeared #VanishingPeople #JapanCulture
