It seems, though, that none of Kumamoto's regional assemblies have passed such a resolution.There has been some protest, however. Here's an Asahi article, with video, that describes one such protest in downtown Kumamoto:http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASG5K5KJPG5KTIPE010.htmlIf you are interested in this issue, you may be interested in something I wrote on my own Facebook page about the self-immolation protest that occurred in Tokyo on Sunday:https://www.facebook.com/kirk.masden/posts/10154291534875655https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unNFuZ2LXEA集団的自衛権の行使容認、許さない 熊本で緊急抗議活動 2014-06-28 11:20 JSTCheck this page out for information about opportunities to study Japanese:http://consortium-kumamoto.jp/rn/2014/06/19/six-days-intensive-japanese-course-on-daily-life-japanese-for-beginners/【Kumamoto International Foundation】Six Days Intensive Japanese Course on Daily Life Japanese for... 2014-06-28 10:24 JSTHere's a video about Goshoura in Amakusa (Japanese …天草御所浦の魅力 ～伝統のとんとこ漁と離島文化～ Fascinating Goshoura, Amakusa (this post) 2014-06-28 10:14 JSTJikei Hospital (the hospital that has been operating the so-called "baby post") in Kumamoto City is in the news again:"In fiscal 2013, there were 131 such children, compared to 199 in fiscal 2012 and 153 in fiscal 2011.

Sorry for the misinformation. 2014-06-26 08:06 JSTJapan's results in the World Cup soccer tournament have been disappointing but, according to this article, a school in Kumamoto has played an important role in raising the level of soccer in Japan in recent years. I'm not familiar with this academy. Do any of you know what school the article is referring to?"Academies at Fukushima, Kumamoto and Osaka have helped forge a Japanese football identity and help prime talents flourish.
