I made a spreadsheet filled with Japanese news events for every day of the year, compiled from a bunch of different sources. Each week I find the event that piques my interest the most -- then the research begins :)
Thank you for shedding light on this unusual episode in Japan's modern history. It's interesting that we take police snipers and the practice of keeping the press away from live crimes for granted today, when that wasn't always the case.
Where the hell do you find these stories?!
Thanks for the question!

Thanks for the comment Mark!
Yes, it’s strange to see a room with a hostage taker casually giving interviews while his gun rests in the corner…
Hans Gruber of Die Hard fame would be jealous.
