According to statistics (sourced from Wiki):

You are 119.8% more likely to kill yourself (suicide) in Japan, compared to the US.
You are 390.9% more likely to be killed by someone else (murdered) in US, compared to Japan.

Logical implications (my own speculation):

• The Japanese blame themselves for things they don't like, whereas Americans prefer to blame others.
  
• Japanese think they can end all their problems by removing themselves, whereas Americans think they can solve their issues by removing others who get in their way.
  
• In USA, you die although you didn't want to, whereas in Japan, you die because you did want to
  
• On the other hand, in Japan, you die suffering, whereas in the US, you die in a much better mood.
  
• Japanese people hate themselves, more than Americans do.
  
• Americans hate others (a lot) more than the Japanese.
  

Discuss.
