After the accident occurred, the principal of the nursery school hosted a media meeting, to disclose details about the accident. During the meeting, reporters have repeatedly asked questions about the kids and the arrangement. Under the pressure of these questions, after being asked to recall and describe the daily life of those kids before the accident, the principal lost control and cried in front of media. It have caused the public, especially netizens, to question the style of journalism of media that keep trying to focus on victim and without consideration about their feeling. It is also a sharp contrast against another car accident that occurred a few weeks ago at Shibuya, Tokyo, where the driver that ignored signal, injured 7 pedestrian and killed a mother and her young daughter, when the driver was found to be a "upper class citizen" who was formerly working in a higher up position in the government before his retirement. In addition, people have expressed their gratitude to staffs of nursery school to show their support on them.
