Reporter (Tomoyuki Mishima): Yes, this is the Seven-Eleven Kumamoto Matsubase Higashi store. As you can see, the shutters are completely closed, and the store is currently suspended from operations. If we look down at our feet, you can see that large amounts of glass have shattered and scattered across the ground. The cigarette ash bin has also been knocked over, and what appear to be store products are scattered about as well. This really illustrates just how strong the shaking from the earthquake was.
