Yes, really. Japanese people have actually taken to the streets en masse to protest something. (And it isn`t even China!) In my experience, you have to understand, the Japanese have not always been the rise-up-and-take-to-the-streets type of crowd. So when a friend invited me to check out the anti-nuclear rally in Tokyo yesterday, I was sure there would be at least 2 or 3 other people there.
Lord was I ever wrong.
Anti-nuclear demos are HUGE. They are simply under-reported. There were 10,000+ people in Shinjuku on September 11. I have posted several pics here: http://japansense.blogspot.com/2011/09/911-anti-nuclear-energy-demo-in.html
Thanks for sharing your video as well. Keep the word out there!
