The increasingly fractured Friday protest is on again this Friday at the Prime Minister's Official Residence, as more and more participants have had enough of following orders from the young organizers who talk trash (one literally calling older protesters "piece of garbage").
The Friday protest by the Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes will be still at the PM's Official Residence, same time, same rules ("single issue" plus one, no other slogans, nothing about radiation contamination, etc.).
But here are other locations near the PM's Official Residence where people will gather to protest against a host of different issues, FREELY.

Mr. Yasuo Tanaka, who's been distributing his white balloons, tweeted he would need more volunteers for making and distributing the balloons.
Attendance seems to be dropping significantly, but the organizers continue to claim "100,000 people or more" every week.

Maybe "the organizers" should consider taking a softer stance: allow anything opposing npps and allow groups to qualify themselves would prove that they care about the nuclear issue itself rather than something else.
Having a lot of smaller demonstrations is going to catch less media attention, 本当にもったいない, what a waste of energy...

Organizers taking a softer stance? Not in their lifetime. They are young and stupid, and don't know they are stupid.
Good to see another more focused group splintering from the misguided main protest. I hope the politically and health focused protests draw even bigger crowds. Just shouting "we're against restarts" isn't really getting us anywhere sadly.
I am personally in the camp of now restarts until we can figure out how not to contaminate the world along with no more fake SQ test. When one thinks about it though, they cannot conduct a true SQ test without be ready to contaminate land. The bomb is a great example.
The people not reading your blogs are missing out a lot of quality contents.
