Kirk here. This is from the Japan Times but, naturally, what is happening here is not just national news; it’s international news. If you Google “Kumamoto missiles” you’ll get lots of hits. I was there for a short time Sunday night but went home before the missiles arrived. There were reporters at the main gate and the gate on the other side (where there were no protesters when I was there). I really respect the protesters who stuck it out in the cold at the main gate until the trucks arrived. I also admire the media people who had to bear the cold temperatures and put up with fatigue as they waited to record the event.
