Well, a "missile" justifies (among other things) a multi-billion dollar purchase of Lockheed Martin's F-35 jetfighters, notwithstanding funds needed to rebuild the Tohoku area.
Mere "satellite launch vehicles" aren't as "sexy"
or as politically useful.
But to answer your question, some media here in the South are calling it simply a "rocket".
