The article currently says that "54 girls decide to act out their roles by jumping in front of a train at Shinjuku station and committing suicide." However, how do we know that all 54 of the girls were members of the organization? If I recall correctly, the movie only tells us that some (three, I think) of the girls Noriko had been in contact with, and who worked with the organization, jumped from the platform. I don't think the movie tells us anything about whether the remaining 50 or so girls are working with the organization or not. (While watching the movie, I actually found myself wondering who hired the organization for this particular act, and why they were doing it, since the reason for it all wasn't nearly as clear as in the case of Broken Dam's death. I don't think we given any reason at all for the shinjuku mass suicide, really.)

Yes it was three (Cripple #5, Long Neck and Midnight). I wonder if they were hired by Genesis? I agree the wording in the article is assuming a certain interpretation. So I'm changing the wording to: "54 girls jump in front of a train at Shinjuku station and committ suicide while Noriko and Kumiko look on. It is implied that the 54 were members of the organization acting out their roles."
