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.

I'm pretty sure Hikki wasn't the only one losing a family member here, so, there was no way her father would be on the emotional shape to deal with media either.
A publicist would be useful, but knowing japanese tabloids, this could easily backfire too... "A publicist for a funneral? Is she promotion herself with that?"
Still... Celebrities aren't perceived as human beings in any media that I can think off... The most brutal japanese media was with Hikki, they would be brutal on other ways on other countries (like calling the celebrity endless to ask how are they feeling when it's obvious they aren't happy a family member just died)
