A Trailer for Kamikaze Drama Orewa Kimi no tamenikoso Shiniyuku

A Trailer for Kamikaze Drama Orewa Kimi no tamenikoso Shiniyuku
The official site for Toei's big budget historical war film, Orewa Kimi no tamenikoso Shiniyuku (literal translation: "I will die only for you above all"), starring Satoru Tokushige and Yosuke Kubozuka (Ping Pong) has been updated with a trailer. Interesting to note that the executive producer and screenwriter is Shintaro Ishihara who happens to be the governor of Tokyo. Here's a brief synopsis according to the good folks from Hoga News:

The story is the real-world stories of Kamikaze squad members and will be told through the eyes of late Tome Torihama, who were looked upon by the members as "mother of Kamikaze".

The film is scheduled for released in the summer of 2007.

For Those We Love tells Kamikaze story
Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku (For Those We Love) is a film that tackles a controversial subject, perhaps more controversial these days through incorrect association with the modern day subject of suicide bombers, for the film looks at World War II Kamikaze pilots.

Wings of Defeat tells of surviving Kamikaze pilots
It seems that the idea of Kamikaze pilots is becoming a hot topic in Japanese cinema at the moment, as a new documentary is released that looks into the men who were destined to die for their country, and it reveals some fascinating insights.

"I wanted to live," Kazuo Nakajima, one of the now elderly 'failed cherry blossoms' tells the filmmakers with an embarrassed laugh. "I didn't want to die."
"We were told we were killing madmen. We were lied to"

We thought we were fighting and giving our lives for our families and our comrades," said Masaaki Kobayashi, 79, after watching the film with a group of his former comrades. "As soldiers, that was the only thing we could do."


These films mark a battle that is going on inside Japan on the field of education. Some believe, and are actively carrying out their beliefs now, that the history of Japan should be toned down when taught to the younger generation.

The Government have been altering references to the terrible battle in Okinawa during World War II where 200,000 civilians and soldiers were killed. References to the soldiers ordering the civilians to commit suicide rather than surrender have been drastically toned down.

Others believe that the past history should be taught to the young in all its harsh reality. Some of the comments from viewers of the film make much more sense:

"We shouldn't beautify it, but we shouldn't forget it either Everyone knew Japan was losing. They should have surrendered sooner."
The documentary reveals rough figures that are quite startling. Some 4,000 kamikaze pilots died for the loss of 34 U.S. ships in the last few months of the war.

It may be controversial and tough to watch, however I do believe that none of the past events of humanity should be obscured and forgotten, and if they can be brought out and recorded in an unbiased way, then they should. Hiding the past may mean we are more likely to make the same mistakes again.

wait did there sacrifice bring? The americans were so scare of japan fighting to the very end that instead of wasting a million soldiers to take over japan they just nuked japan instead.

@josephonwhidbey I agree, also had the U S Forces invaded Japan, both sides would have suffered tremendous losses, coz japanese civilians would have fought also. The one thing they have done in the Pacific War is The Fighting Spirit of the Japanese Soldier. You see In STALINGRAD the Germans did not do wat Japan done they surrender to the Russians, some great amount of German prisoners die in Russian prison.

Thankfully that ended the war soon enough as millions of Chinese, Filipinos, etc were being massacred by the Jps.
