we don't hate Japanese new generations or people who acknowledge war crime which they did to korean peoples before august 1945 and love korea. we just hate and attack the Japanese Right who said they didn't any war crimes in Korea and other Asian Countries in during of War. even they go to Yasukuni shrine to worship the evils who killed millions of Asian People.

If it's any consolation to you, in the eyes of a spaniard there is no difference between Japanese and Koreans. I guess it will be the same like you do between the spaniards and Argentine people. You can call it ignorance, you can call it lack of prejudices. Or both.

How will things get better if Koreans and Japanese keep alive their old prejudices? And by your logic, we should all denounce every song written in and about America, since the creation of America was made possible only through the systematic genocide of native Americans. How about this for a watchword: never forget the past, but let's not let the crimes of someone's forebears color our perceptions of their descendants. I want to see Korea and Japan as they should be: brothers and sisters.

While I would be the first to acknowledge that the sins of imperial Japan are no light matter (I am a Japanese person and I teach Korean in the US), your sentiment is misguided. You use "Japanese" as a monolithic term when it clearly is not; there are many Japanese people who feel remorse for their country's past. Hisaishi Joo is clearly one of them, and you are mistaking his love of music for rubbing salt into Korean wounds.
i am joe hisashi's fan!!! and im thrilles that he would sing my country's song!!! xDD

Why couldn't you be more like Tenchijk and just appreciate the fact that a Japanese man would enjoy a Korean composition so much that he'd actually conduct an orchestrated version of it on his own time?
Did the Nazis ever formally apologize to the Jews? Did Europe ever apologize to the Mesoamerican civilizations? Did they apologize to the Native Americans?
Just keep moving forward and know that the Japan that you hated so much is now led by a new generation with a clean slate and fresh views.
