What some of Japanese people think about their war crime

Have a nice day, happily ever after ^^







--- The fact that Japan was the one of the main participants of World War II and that they killed "appearntly" many people won't change... I wonder that the way Japanese conservatitives remake their history (or distorting...) will lead them to what they actually purpose... Not facing the truth can mean a significant defect in them. Even if denying all the negative things they've done, they won't meet their GREAT JAPAN...since a great nation doesn't derive from distortion or lie.

Translation:
JAP: I believe that Aug. 15th(Independence day of Koare, the Day Japan surrendered unconditionally; end of WWII) is the day we japanese people from the bottom of our heart appreciate the spirits who devoted their life to Japan.
CAN: May I ask you a question? You might be under arrest if you were a german. Do you know that? since in Germany it is illegal to say so...
JAPS: What art thou talking about? On what ground art thou claiming such that? Are you kidding? Why! Why is he going to be apprehended?
blah~ blah~CAN: May I ask?
JAP: Idiot! Answer!
CAN: Cuz it's German.
JAP: We're in Japan! Even if you saying that, the fact that we're in Japan doesn't change!!
CAN: I see. Do you really think that this irrational Japan is alright?
JAP: Idiot. Go! Get back!

JAP: You've been impolite.
CAN: If it were German... since it's against the Constitution...
JAP: What?
CAN: It is illegal to say so if he/she were germany...
JAP: The german, they've done Halucaust, the crime! We've done nothing!
CAN: I am sorry. You don't get this point... Such remark is a breach of the Constitution in German.
Japanese man (I guess a guard?) asks the canadian if he is a journalist, if he has made an appointment, if he has been permited to have an interview in Yasukuni Temple.
He also tells that the place(temple) has a crucial meaning to Japan and its people.
He intimidates the canadian. Canadian says he has a certificate of alien registration(which means the Japanese guard must reconsider his behavoir since it is troublesome)
The canadian man requires the japanese guard not to touch or drag him.

In the Yasukuni Temple, some of Koreans' morutary tablets are also set up, treated as if they voluntarily, gloriously, happily died for Japan. They refused to return their ashes even if their family requested... The temple was built to serve those gods(spirits) died in WWII for Japan, which is to be comprehended like so for some of people like me and Koreans and the victims of Japan's wrongdoings: Japan is worshiping the war criminals. This is why Korea and China denounced the conduct of ex-prime minister of Japan, who frequently visited there and praised.

I assert that that sort of event or action can not be understood as a religious practices, and even if we can do so, it is still very worrisome. I am afraid what if they're daydreaming. Having nostalgia for the world of imperialism will do no good for themselves; they must acknowledge and recognize that the Japanese nation had suffered from the military government along with other nations and world citizens.
