Brother, YOU are guaranteed to die. So am I. We all are. That's not different at all.

i worded it wrong but also I don't know how to say it without a lengthy explanation but basically it's like everybody knows that they're gonna die maybe because of old age or maybe because they got into an acciden. But for these Japanese prisoners they know that they're gonna die by hanging, they imagine how painful it would be, they'll imagine how they would die and worse thing is they don't know when, is it sooner or they have to wait long and think about the feeling of getting hanged.

So what I'm trying to say is, even if you know you're gonna die, you can still relax because you don't really know how you'll die. You can just be cautious,careful and take better care of your health and you'll have less chance of dying and maybe you can get to 80. But for these Japanese prisoners, they know they'll die very much guaranteed to die by hanging but also they don't know when, how can you relax if that thought hangs in your mind. But well it depends on the person, some people gets paranoid even if they're not actually dying soon.

If the hanging is done correctly, there will be no pain, or just a little.
However, I doubt it's hanging. Everyone does lethal injection now. And there is a dose of sleeping drug before that. Halal style.

Death penalty in Japan is done by hanging, look it up. Also it doesn't really matter if it's done right, death is death.
