Memorandum
I was at the Station Square at 14:46, just after the 8 years from the quake.
The preparations for the night event called "candle night" was progressing. A Public Address System was already installed.
More than 50 people were gathering at the square to join the silent prayer.
About 5 minutes before 14:46, the live broadcasting of the National memorial ceremony were broadcasted by the PA system. When the broadcast started, staff stopped their work one after the other, to pray silently.
Almost all people at their pray silently following the cue from the PA system.
Even during the silent pray, a huge display installed at the wall of Nakago Department Store was broadcasting the commercial short videos.
