Speech of Japanese Prime Minister IOC and Some Media

     In 2020, Tokyo has been elected to host the Olympic Games, but some media have a lot of different opinion about Speech of Japanese Prime Minister IOC. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said “Some may have concerns about Fukushima. Let me assure you, the situation is under control” (Mainichi Japan, 2013).Finally he presented about “It has never done and will never do any damage to Tokyo” (Mainichi Japan, 2013). However, some media said that Japanese Prime Minister did lie to get the Olympics. The contaminated water has been contained to leak at Fukushima. Also some Japanese media were declared the contaminated water is leaking into the ocean every day (INTERNATIONAL POLICY DIGEST, 2012). Therefore, some media say that the contaminated water will not stop to leak so it is not safety.  

     On the other hand, some media have some good opinions. Japanese Prime Minister said to some media about "I explained about the water contamination in Fukushima and explained that the contaminated water was blocked” (REUTERS, 2013). Also he said that "Yes please come to Japan. You can be assured” (REUTERS, 2013). Some Media expect that Japanese people try to recover at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.They believe about Speech of Japanese Prime Minister. Also Japanese Prime Minister said that we are planning to build New Stadium for 2020 Tokyo Olympic so some media are really looking forward to building new stadium. 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Personal reflection

　　　　　My opinion is that I believe Japanese Prime Minister did not lie to get Olympics. Japanese people are really trying to recover that serious. On the other hand, I really sad about some media are unsparing opinions. Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station is still huge problem. Some media say that Japan is dangerous so Olympic should change another country. However, Japanese Prime Minister promises us so I want to believe that. Next blog, I would like to focus on Tokyo Olympic in 2020 and some effects.
