This shouldn't surprise you, since there is none of the ghoulish ritualistic
news coverage, demonstrations, etc. in Japan when an execution occurs.  I
doubt it even makes the back page of a newspaper.  There aren't very many, and
usually it's of serial killers, child rapist/murderers, and similar creeps.
Japan has had its Ted Bundys and Wes Dodds too; I remember when Miyazaki
Tetsuo(?) was caught a while ago.  Also, Japan doesn't have years of appeals;
Miyazaki is probably already dead.
