I never heard of it before today so know nothing about it. Wikipedia has an extensive discussion of it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinj%C5%AB.
Is this page false with bad references maybe, or was it just a literary tradition and not happening in the real world?
Double suicides happen all the time around the world and are extensively documented in literature (Romeo and Juliet being the prototypical example). That doesn't mean it is a "tradition".
There is a difference between something happening in the real world and it being a tradition.
Erm?
You should be made aware of the fact that unspeakable horror, Japan is more awesome and actually great and traditional.
