Which source to cite?

It seems the link: (Japanese) https://www3.nhk.or.jp/lnews/kobe/20190304/2020003239.html is now dead. Can others reproduce it?

I can't reproduce it in Japan. NHK may be blocking access from abroad.
You may be able to read it from the archive.

Thanks for suggesting the trick! I am closing this.

It seems that NHK NEWS WEB deletes its news pages after one week from the publication date.
I cannot find NHK's official policy about the retention period but a blog post which is listing observed policies of TV broadcasters' web news sites in Japan.

I am thinking of replacing it with this news article:
https://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20190304/tro19030418410013-n1.html

I think a replacing site should be a reliable publisher, not a personal blog. Is there any better idea?
Let's discuss here.

Except for personal blogs, I found these two posts below:

• https://www.bengo4.com/c_23/n_9333/
• https://biz-journal.jp/2019/03/post_27012.html

In my opinion, sanspo.com is more "reliable".

This sounds resonable to me. Wikipedia has similar policy. It requires reliable, published sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources and perceive self-published sources (e.g. personal blog) as unreliable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#News_organizations
