I'd like to visit Japan but I'm underage?

Question:

I read the article about the Japanese government giving out tickets for a flight to Japan to 10,000 people. I've always waited for an opportunity like that! There's one problem though: I'm underage! In the article, they didn't say anything about your age...

Please help! I love Japan, I cried my heart out when the 3/11 disaster happened!

P.S. here's the article: http://www.tofugu.com/2011/10/11/travel-to-japan-for-free-really/

Answer:

that program is not yet confirmed right?

well, i traveled to Japan when I was still under age so I don't see any problem.

And yes, I traveled alone.
