I think it speaks a little to the amateur nature of the media in Japan, tbh.
Like, I mean, I guess maybe I'm just used to how it is here, but I feel like, if it was a funeral for someone here in CA, the media would have made deals with people to get their wanted coverage, without being so in-your-face about it to where it's an actual *problem*, like blocking the street.
Even if they have to be sneaky, or whatever. They aren't going to be all like, right in the middle of things. Especially when there is police and such. Everyone might hate them afterward, but they're much smarter with their game here. They have relationships with celebrities and companies, and even the police.
I feel like Hikki should have had her father, or a publicist, or something take care of the media for her.
I'm not blaming them, it IS rude of the media, but I guess, I'm just not really used to the media ever being gracious or respectful over their own agendas.
I suppose they are expected to be in Japan, but obviously, that's dying out.
