N Korea missle launches near Japan

Interested to know how the Japanese people are feeling towards the N Korean's launching missles and dropping close to Japan's eastern shores. Is there any concern from the people living in Japan?

People are passively and quietly disturbed, but not worried. It was all over the news yesterday but coverage has calmed down today...there is not much to report at this point.

amigo, they can hit japan anytime they want. they have already proven that.

one hit on tokyo, and we can all kiss our 401k and other retirement funds aloha. the worlds economic balance would be sent into orbit, and the results would be catastrophic.

luckily, i burried my money. now if i can only figure out where. lol

Thank you for thinking of us ht! Life goes on here in Japan. They say the closest one was 200 km away...this time. Of course, they can hit Japan any time they want. We (and everyone else apparently) choose not to think about that possibiity.
