Yubari’s Fading Youth tells the true story of a town that once thrived — and quietly faded.

Located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, Yubari was once a prosperous coal-mining city, full of families, schools, industry, and young life. In the 1960s, more than 120,000 people called Yubari home. Today, fewer than 7,000 remain. Most of the mines have long since closed, the youth have moved away, and the population that remains is overwhelmingly elderly. Streets that once echoed with children’s voices now carry only memories.

This song is not written in judgment, but in reflection. Yubari did not fall because of a single mistake — it faded through decades of structural change, economic dependency, declining birthrates, and the quiet erosion of family life. Nine out of ten residents have either passed on or moved on. What remains is a living reminder of how fragile communities can be when the future slowly slips away.

Yubari’s story is not unique. It is a warning — and a mirror. In the years ahead, this project will continue exploring similar demographic and social challenges facing Japan, South Korea, China, Germany, Canada, and parts of the European Union: aging populations, disappearing towns, rising debt, and societies struggling to support both the young and the old.

Yubari’s Fading Youth asks a simple but urgent question:
What happens when a society forgets to invest in its children — and how much time remains to change course?
