^ I think you might have the Shinto and Buddhism mixed up. Buddhism is usually associated with death and Shinto with life. I think that when Japanese people are born, their names are added to a plaque in Shinto shrines, and when they die they undergo Buddhist funerals. Christian weddings are becoming very popular, though.
I swear I had a song that I was thinking of when I saw this thread...but I still can't remember! >.<;
