Kirk here with a share from Mieko Ueno, our local (my neighborhood) member of the city council. Here’s an AI translation of the Japanese text:

Stop Long-Range Missile Deployment at Kengun Self-Defense Force Base! Ring of Peace
On February 23rd, an action called “Stop Long-Range Missile Deployment! Ring of Peace” took place, forming a human chain around the Kengun Self-Defense Force base in Kumamoto City to demand the withdrawal of plans to deploy long-range missiles there.
A “Ring of Peace” made up of 1,200 people.
We don’t need missiles at the Kengun SDF base! We don’t need ammunition depots either! What we want to pass on to our children is “peace.”

I am not sure yet, but my impression at this point is that this hasn’t been reported on TV. I just checked RKK’s online archive and nothing. Plenty of “soft” topics but nothing about this. :(
