25. When we arrived at Nagoya Station, many comrades were waiting for us.

26. At this time, I speak in a small square in front of the station. The content was similar to what I said at Gifu station yesterday.

27. At this time, the Asahi Newspaper, which interviewed me, reported this in the morning edition the next day. It was reported for the first time in a major Japanese newspaper

28. During the interview, the reporter asked me two questions. 1) Why did you start the anti-nuclear movement even though your major is urban engineering? 2) What made you decide to march as a means of exercise?

29. Comrades marching forcefully from Nagoya Station to central Sakae district.

30. The first question from the reporter was recorded at the end of yesterday’s journal. Second question is a good one.

31. Many comrades are waiting for us when we arrive at our destination this afternoon, the Sakae district. At this time, I introduced the reporter’s second question and said as follows. “What motivates people is not persuasion based on knowledge and information, but by showing them through their own actions. Seeing the people sweating makes them think for themselves. There are two successful cases in South Korea. The march worked to lift the Samcheok nuclear power plant site that was designated 10 years ago. Regardless of whether it snowed or rained, the small number of citizens marched incessantly, and the public opinion of the residents who watched it grew and became stronger. That’s why it was successfully dedesignated a few years ago. Another success story was around 2016 when Busan marched to dismantle its aging nuclear power plant. After starting with a handful of citizens and continuing for more than half a year, the march has grown to hundreds of participants, and politicians from both the ruling and opposition parties gave up.”

32. After the march, there was an after party. We weren’t able to take pictures yet, but we talked about preparations for tomorrow’s press conference and lecture. With the help of two Korean -Japanese, Kim Gwang-mi and Lee Doo-hee, the translation went smoothly.
