Keeping To A Japanese Theme,

breaking up is hard to do,


is a song by Neil Sedaka, and it is also very hard to do in Japan, breaking up that is, enter the professionals, the Wakaresaseya, literally “breaker-uppers”, are professional agents that specialize in destroying relationships, be they marriages or affairs, for a fee. After taking on a contract these unlicensed operatives stop at nothing to achieve their goal, which includes extreme measures like entrapment, financial burdening and lying,

 photograph Pixabay, many wakaresaseya agencies boast a success rate of 95%, and while few, if any, can actually prove their effectiveness, the agents’ persistence in reaching their goals is legendary. From stalking their targets and studying their daily routines to better increase their chances of success, to the pressure they sometimes put on difficult marks, wakaresaseya do whatever it takes to complete their mission, prices reportedly vary from a couple of hundred dollars for simple cases, to upwards of $150,000 for high-profile cases where discretion if of the upmost importance,

once a case is accepted, depending on the target, wakaresaseya agents will approach them somewhere public, like a grocery store and try to spark up a conversation, all they need is a moment of weakness that is usually captured by a hidden camera, but if seduction doesn’t work, they have other strategies as well. Targets can be lured into fake business deals, burdened with financial debt and even visited by fake mob guys about the said debt, threatening to start a career-ending scandal works wonders too, apparently. They basically do all it takes to get the job done, as Neil Sedaka sings, breaking up is hard to do!
