Referring to someone by family name is standard Western journalistic practice; the specification of form of address for Miyanaga is only amusing to me because it's specifically called out. Ogasawara has the added (and rather shocking, from a Japanese perspective) twist of insisting on being addressed by first name, which the journalist does after mentioning this.
