Soumatou Kabushikigaisha is a company that offers a unique service. Clients simply submit their name and birthdate, and are then escorted to a room where a single TV is waiting. A woman arrives with a DVD in hand, which documents their entire life from the day they were born up to the present. For those who partake in this service, gaining a fresh perspective on life may well be achievable - by delving into past events and uncovering information previously unknown, new insights may be gained. Sugiura Katsumi, a 43-year-old man who tragically lost both his wife and daughter recently, was the first one to use the service. As he viewed his entire life unfold, he was able to re-experience both the joyous and painful moments of his past, ultimately leading to an understanding of the underlying reasons behind his recent heartbreaking losses.
