AlphaTaikun:Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you!! Writing and reading about history in English is very difficult. How I wish I have good English skill right now. If I had it now, I think I can explain more well. I have read many many times about why dropped atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To me, warned or not, they chose to use that kind of bomb. So, no matter what they said, everything is excuse. And about leaflets, that was after dropped atomic bomb and just like propaganda leaflets. Even if truly that leaflets are warning to Japanese peoples, after dropped atomic bomb is meaningless. Japan is lost war country and America is won country. They can say whatever they wanna say. Even wrong things they did, they can say they did it right things. America is hero, Japan is villain. But at least Japan and Japanese judged and punished. Some of them died in false accusation. Very unfair trial. Atomic bomb is genocide. They even killed some non Japanese soldiers who were prisoner of war including American soldiers too. They killed their own peoples too. But everything is past. We don't need to forget about it. But we also don't need to live in the past. We learned and we moved. We don't need to live in hate. We don't need to carry on hate in the future. We must learn from past and we carry on peace in the future! ![]() Yes, I'm still hurt. I have never asked my late grandparents about war. That time was my first time I heard about war experience from elderly peoples. Some of them were kids, some of them were soldiers and two of them were prisoner of war in Siberia. I'm sorry, I said sometimes I'm feeling like some peoples don't know anything means not some peoples don't know something is bad. I didn't meant some peoples don't know history is bad. I never meant that. I'm also don't know many many things. I'm ignorant about many many things. I'm very very sorry. How I wrote is very rude. I apologies. Japan is Shinto country. But Shinto is more like culture. I'm half Shinto and half Buddhist ![]() But most of times I said I maybe Shinto. In fact, I thought I'm like an atheist before. I'm sure if you asked Japanese peoples about what is their religion, many peoples, I maybe can say most of peoples will say no religion! But peoples visit to Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple, many many festivals and events? celebrations? are Shinto, having grave in temple etc. And we talk about heaven and hell. But most of peoples say no religion ![]() We talk about cause and effect or karma. Karma is like same meaning "what goes around comes around"? I have read about that is from Buddhism. Japanese also saying it. I don't know if Shintoism or Buddhism is relate with Japanese work style. About America, I think Emperor is one of the reasons maybe Japanese peoples moved on. That time, Emperor was like God. Emperor is Emperor. But old days and these days are little bit different. Oh! Sorry, Google translate is something wrong. Many many times wrong translate. I don't know if that happened only English to Japanese or Japanese to English. If tried to translate English to Japanese, many many times I saw strange Japanese. I can read and I can understand. But sometimes I really can't understand some words. So, I don't use it. And without translate is more good learning to me! But Thank you so much! I appreciate you!! I checked about immersion program! Thank you so much! I didn't know about this program. I really appreciate you!! Sadly, What I saw this program in Japan is for kids. And still only few schools like kindergarten to high school have this program. I will continue to learning slowly! ![]() Thank you so much! And same to your country!! ![]() |
mysticwarrior:Thank you very much too! You already read it?! Me too! That part is deep. My interest part is also this part, "Though we, at the time, are externally taken by your air raids and shelling backed by your material superiority, spiritually we are burning with delight and enjoying the peace of mind. This peacefulness of mind, the common universal stigma of Nippon-jin, burning with fervour in the upholding of the Imperial Doctrine may be impossible for you and Churchill to understand." I also didn't know about Hiroshi Funasaka. I just got to know about him at last month! And Do you know about Shoichi Yokoi? I still remember we talked about Hiroo Onoda before. Shoichi Yokoi is like him. He was report to killed in action. But He came back to Japan from Guam in 1972. I didn't know about him before. One of sad things is he was ashamed himself about he is alive and came back. |
AlphaTaikun:Sorry, AlphaTaikun san. I watched your video over and over again. But my problem is my English skill ![]() I can't perfectly understand what that video saying. Very very few talk I could understand. ![]() If I'm not misunderstood, that video is before dropped atomic bomb in Nagasaki and that's after dropped atomic bomb in Hiroshima. And I couldn't hear he said Nagasaki or city name. I knew that Japanese meeting about surrender or not. That is supreme war council. That in video is from movie? One of things I want you to know about me is I'm not hating America or American peoples. In fact, I have many good memories with American peoples when I was working at American military base in Japan. I have met many good American peoples! ![]() I know some peoples are wondering or can't understand Japanese who don't hate America or American peoples like me. Most of times when I read, watch and talk about war, I'm very emotional. I know emotion is nothing to war. Emotion is nothing for discussion about history. I love my country. I respect my country. I love my peoples. I respect my peoples. But not only this reason making me emotionally. Maybe because I have met many elderly peoples who had war experience and I have heard their experience from them. I have seen some of their tears. Not watching TV, videos, movies or Not reading books or internet. I have seen it in real. I have heard it in real. That elderly peoples tear and talk is really heavy and hurt me till now. I can't forget about it. Some peoples are saying Japan is this and that, Japanese are this and that. Some peoples are even joking and insulting about Japan and war. And some peoples are talking about fake story. Sometimes I'm feeling like they don't know anything. I talked with you on here is still only few times. But you never judged me or my country or my peoples. You never blaming or insulting my country and my peoples including me. But sharing and exchanging opinion! I really really appreciate you! Thank you so much!! |
mysticwarrior:Mixed feelings and emotionally. Hideki Tojo, I watched one of his speech. My surprised is title is like "peoples misunderstood him" or something like that. His speech was like he wished peace and he doesn't wanna have war. I was really surprised! Is like not same person. War is justice vs justice. Each countries have their belief. They believe they are fighting for their justice and their belief. But that is lead to wrong move sometimes. This is my opinion. Oh! I know "Letters from Iwo Jima"! But I still not watched it. That song is song for the defenders of Iwo Jima? I still remember that you told me before about "Bushido". I think I told you I don't know about "Bushido". But when I checked about it on internet and when I saw "Bushido" in Kanji, I understood what is "Bushido"! Sometimes when I saw Japanese words in English alphabet, I need take time to know what is that words. You watched "Letters from Iwo Jima" and you know Kuribayashi, Have you read about Ichimaru? "A note to Roosevelt"? And what about Hiroshi Funasaka who fought in battle of Angaur? He is like a Samurai to me. He never ever gave up! |
AlphaTaikun:Hello, AlphaTaikun san! Thank you so much too! Wow!! popular Japanese woman and citizen on this website?! Really?! Wow!! Yeahhhh!! \( ´▽`)/♪ I really appreciate you for sharing about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Thank you so much! If President Truman warned to Japanese about it, Is it nothing wrong for him to used it? Even if Japan warned peoples about it, Do you think all peoples in there could escape? If warned, no one victims? no damaged? Excuse making victims and their family to add more hurt. |
mysticwarrior:Hello, mysticwarrior san! Long long time! I hope you are good! To be very honest with you, I really don't know how to explain. You are a one of person who know about many many Japan side of history on this website. I really appreciate you! I believe that you know how lost war countries are don't have right to talk about their side of history. Even true story, not fake or not lies, many peoples will not have ear for us especially who already believing propagandas too much. I saw many propagandas with fake pictures about Japan on this website. Some Japanese peoples saying Japan is not only lost war, But also lost propaganda war too. So, if Japanese peoples tried to talk about how their feel, many peoples will start to blaming Japanese. What Japan did, what Japanese did etc. Japan and Japanese are really evil for some peoples. Like we really don't have right to talk about our side of history. Some peoples will not allow us to talk. I always said and I will continue to say that I can't deny everything what Japan did, But I also can't allow everything what some peoples are saying. Most of times I chose to just read. And maybe because of my poor English skill, I maybe misunderstanding what I read. And I can't really explain very well in English. So, better for me to just reading to know what peoples are saying about Japan and war. Why I can talk about war with you is because you know about history very well including Japan side of history. You know about Japan and Japanese history more than me! ![]() You don't judge me or blame me if I talked about Japan side of talk. Instead of blaming me, you always have ear for me and I really really appreciate you! I still remember very well that I talked about war with you and grandstar san before. I didn't need to afraid about talking about war history with both of you. And I started to know and read more about my country and history since I talked with you and grandstar san! I really really appreciate!! |
Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate you! But I want you to know that president Truman didn't tell to Japanese about it. I had read about it many times. President Truman informed Japanese to leave there before dropped bombs is not true. |
Night0307:Hello, Night0307 san! I'm sorry for very late reply to you. Oh! I still really don't understand about ban. I got ban many many times and I don't know which rules I broke it ![]() But maybe my Japanese language. Please Night0307 san, don't be sorry. I really appreciate you for sharing your opinion to me! Always good for me to know other peoples opinion, different view of point etc. And very interesting to me to know what non Japanese peoples think or talk about Japan and Japanese peoples both good things and bad things. So, I'm very happy to heard what you think about Japan and Japanese peoples ![]() But If I made you feel like that, I'm very sorry. I apologies you. I just wanted you to know that not all Japanese having same opinion, thought etc. And I really want you to know that I'm a just one of Japanese. I wrote and I will write my opinion, my thought, my view of point etc. And I'm a maybe very strange or crazy Japanese! ![]() Akihabara case, I didn't know some peoples on internet chased that younger brother and found out him until I read about it. I read about it was already past few years from Akihabara incident. I'm very sure that many many peoples still don't know about what happened with younger brother. I think I know Quora. But I have not check or read that website before. I will try to check it! You told me about Japan is too disciplined, too strict etc, and I didn't agreed with you. But since then, I was thinking about it many times. I think I can agreed some points. Like many many Japanese peoples saying Japan or Japanese is? has? too much peer pressure. And many peoples don't like it. Old days and these days are different. Many many different things. Some peoples saying that these days Japanese lost good manners and good morality. Here have this kind of words when peoples see someone's bad behavior, bad manners etc, "reveal one's upbringing" and "I would? like to see his/her parents' faces". So, no wonder if peoples wanna see or wanna know what kind of home that kind of person (bad behavior, bad manners etc person) grew up, what kind of parents raised them etc, like Akihabara case. But at same time, many peoples talking about until when peoples blaming parents. Someone who is a already growing up adult did bad things, Is that still parents' fault? etc. I think this is one of endless discussion. Why peoples blamed Akihabara murderer's parents is I think because of how his parents treated him especially his mother. I had read about his mother apologies to him before 2 years he did Akihabara incident. Why don't I pity the mother is I hate child abusing peoples. And I'm a mother too. I really can't understand what she did to him. I don't wanna understand it. I can never ever imagine how I treated my kid like his mother did to him. I can't do that. Never! Not only for my own kid. I can't do kind of things for kids. Kids are not toy. Not puppet. Her two sons are not her toy! They are also humans too! Because of education, she doesn't wants him to suffer in future. But she doesn't care about he was already suffering how she treated him. He was eating foods slowly, that's why she put newspaper on the floor and put his foods and forced him to eat from there?! Floor?! His shoes got wet because he walked road with snow, that's why she got angry and she forced him to standing outside with barefoot until she forgave him?! Barefoot with snow?! What kind of human is that?! I have no little pity for that kind of person. Maybe I have evil heart more than her. That's why I don't know how to have pity feeling for her. That's why I still can't have any pity for her even I read about she stayed in mentality hospital after Akihabara incident. She maybe apologies to him. She maybe regretting what she did to him. But when he was crying and said sorry to her, Did she stop abusing him? Sorry for eating slowly?! Walked on the road with snow and shoes got wet?! What wrong with that?! Until when he started behave violently inside home, she doesn't have feel sorry for him? Until he hit her, she doesn't have feel sorry to him? I really can't understand this kind of person. How can she treated small kid like that?! I really can't have any pity for her. I know I maybe very heatless person. I really really hate child abusing peoples! About death penalty, what you said is almost same things my husband always said it. I agreed somethings like if false arrested, if murderer repent etc. But even they repent, victims can't come back. Victims' family can't get back them, can't get back their life like before. Some victims who is alive can't get back their life like before incident happened. I agreed about no humans are perfect. But my opinion is this can't use for murderer like Akihabara case. That was not his mistakes or something like that. Can't use word like humans are not perfect to that kind of murderer. He has very hurt and sad experience doesn't mean he can killed or attacked peoples like that. That's not mistake or accident. Peoples saying our laws are very kind for perpetrator. Protecting perpetrator. But very strict for victims. Not protecting victims. Sometimes I think so too and I'm wondering why. One of Japanese lawyer who was a against the death penalty before. One murderer killed his wife. When he became the bereaved family, he truly started to know about what is real bereaved family's suffer like how they face to incident, perpetrator, laws, gossiping from media etc. He is a no more against the death penalty now. Some murderer can't repent. They never ever regretting what they did. And sometimes peoples who discussion about death penalty like me, I think very possible to make victims or their family to hurt again or hurt more. I'm very sorry for too much long writing. I can't explain what is my opinion about death penalty and Akihabara incident in short words. Thank you too! Wow!! You are learning two languages at same time? German and French at same time? If I'm not misunderstood, hubby meaning husband. Little by little I'm learning English. And learning about Nigeria and Nigerian peoples! Not only for my husband. I just like learning and knowing about another countries! Very very interesting to know about another cultures, language etc. No, I don't know their languages. I just know very few words. But long time ago, one person who can speak, read and write Korean told me about not difficult to learn their language. |
Night0307:Good day! Thank you so much for sharing your opinion and writing Japanese to me! I appreciate you!! Yes, if peoples wanna blame, they should blame only murderer. Most of peoples knows it. But that Akihabara case, you didn't read about murderer’s parents especially about mother? How she treated her son, What she did to her son etc? To be very honest with you, if this murderer was not murderer, his past is really pity. He has painful and sad experience. But doesn't mean he can take out his anger to another peoples. And I'm not pity his mother. What she did to him was child abuse. I can't be pity that kind of person. And about his younger brother, he is really pity. Many many peoples blame some internet peoples and media who chased him. Still now, if something happened, many peoples are saying peoples shouldn't chasing, found out, blame etc, criminals family. Many many peoples knows what happened to Akihabara murderer's brother. If someone killed or hurt someone, not only victim and victim's family are suffering. Criminal's family is suffering too. But sometimes some criminal's family or member of family also something wrong. Sorry, explain in English is very difficult. Please don't judge Japan or Japanese because of Akihabara massacre. I don't think Japan is too strict or too disciplined. Every where have suffering peoples. Not only in Japan. Every countries has their rules and laws. Japan too. There have some reasons Japan still has death penalty. I'm not happily to support death penalty. I have mixed feelings. But if simple questions like agreed or diragreed, then I will say agreed. But must not false arrested, have enough proofs and reason etc. What is your reason about Japan should abolished death penalty? I like to know! |
