$200m for the hostages release, and the Japanese government obviously didn't pay. It's unfortunate but the right thing to do.

They get what they want either way here. If the prisoner is not released, they kill Kenji which I'm sure they want to do. If the prisoner is released, they get her which they also want.
However, the latter option is also beneficial to Kenji and his family & friends.
