Beautiful song from "Letters from Iwo Jima" movie 硫黄島からの手紙

On the waves of the Pacific,
Down south from the Imperial city
a small lonely islands floats.
The fate of our imperial country
Lies in the hands of this island,
Iwo Jima.
As long as we stand,
We shall feel safe,
As the imperial land shall forever be at peace.
We shall fight with pride
and honor at any price,
Our proud island, Iwo Jima.

To revive Japan from the earthquake, it keeps buying the made-in-Japan product.

Japan has done a large contribution to the world in the country where the technology and the culture are wonderful.

It is this time a turn that countries of the world help japan.

War has good soldiers and bad..This movie portrayed the good side..thats all..You dont need to mix in or link other 'bad' historical events to this..Its like bringing up the 'nazis' every time you talk about germany..

@425jeonsa Agreed. It's a disgrace he was allowed to retain his position, let alone visit allied countries later in his life as a guest >:-(
