12 thousand gather for - 10 Million People’s Action to Say Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants
On February 11th, Yoyogi Park in Tokyo was packed with 12 thousand participants as part of the “10 Million People’s Action to Say Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants”. The march was lead by OCHIAI Keiko, a writer and a promoters of the action, and YAMAMOTO Taro, a popular actor. When the marchers reached Omotesando, YAMAMOTO took up the microphone to lead the chanting. Young passers-by noticed the voice of the popular actor and many of them started to take photos of the star and to raise voices of support. YAMAMOTO raised his voice repeating, “Stop the nuclear plants immediately! Wake up! Stand up! No to the restart of nuclear plants! We have enough electricity! We won’t be cheated again!” Rhythmical chanting reverberated through downtown Tokyo. (Y)

「さようなら原発1000万人アクション」~代々木集会デモに12000人
2月11日、東京・代々木公園イベント広場で、「さようなら原発1000万人アクション・全国一斉行動」があり、12000人の参加者が、会場周辺を埋めつくした。落合恵子さんと山本太郎さん(写真)はデモの先頭に立ち、解散地点まで歩いた。表参道にさしかかると、山本さん自身が宣伝カーからの有線マイクを握り、声を張り上げた。道行く若者たちが、そこかしこで山本さんに気づき、ささやき合っている。携帯のカメラを向け、写真を撮っている。「がんばって」と激励が飛ぶ。注目度は抜群だ。「原発やめろ、今すぐとめろ、大人たち。目を覚ましてください、立ちあがってください」「再稼働反対、電力は余っている。だまされません」。リズミカルなコールが、都市の喧騒なかで響いていた。(Y)・写真(大木晴子)
