Mass respect for these survivors who are not afraid of ripping their bandages off just so we can learn better from it.
100% agree, i bet it brought back painful memories
Exactly
I highly doubt they would still be wearing bandages since 1945
@@scalz420It's a metaphor and I bet you already knew that. Just write this in case you didn't know though.
@@scalz420 It's a metaphor, meaning they were willing to relive the memory and trauma so they were able to recreate it.
I’ll never forget the descriptions I heard from survivors of the almost zombie like people who’s entire skin was simply gone - they were just muscle and bones walking around. Kind of like they were flayed alive.
All thanks to their leader who refused to give up the fight after 2 of their major allies got clapped.
American drop the bombs, not the japanese
@@zennoix9984 US was still pretty idiotic doing that, they could have just stopped with nagasaki at least, and japan was looking for their own power as well, they were greedy already
@@zennoix9984 yet we never account the US for doing the worst thing as retaliation.
@@sovietwizard1620 I agree. It was a lot of innocent that died.
No one can imagine literally. Only those who lived it.
I hope all the major countries leaders can also experience it through virtual reality so they know how horrifying it truly is and prevent and discard all nuclear weapons
They're all sociopaths, they would feel nothing from experiencing it.
Those nuclear weapons are the only thing preventing invasions in the modern world. Belligerent powers like Russia would be far more bold in a world without them. It’s not ideal, but there’s a reason they’re there
Only in an ideal, imaginary world unfortunately. Now that the tech is there, if you don't have it, others will. There will always be one party who do not care.
@@projectpems8304 once you take it out of pandoras box, youll never put it back in.
@@projectpems8304Ukraine actually agreed to give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for a defense pact that no one ended up honoring. Russia was emboldened to annex Crimea and then invade Ukraine because of this feckless inaction, and rogue nation states like North Korea and Iran have taken the lesson of Ukraine being nuclear-disarmed as a lesson to pursue nuclear weapons as a critical priority.
Guys this is about preventing another use of a-bombs, not about comparing a-bomb to Japan's war crimes. Regardless of your stance on whether or not the dropping of the bombs was justified or not, we should all be able to agree that the bombs were horrible and should never be unleashed again. This is an attempt to prevent not an attempt to erase war crimes. These are two seperate things in this context.
I would argue that because this VR experience seems to fail to provide any context why the nuclear bombs were dropped in the first place, then it can be reasonably seen as a attempt to garner sympathy for the Japanese.
Highlighting this context (Japan's aggression and war crimes against its neighbors) and pointing out the danger of using nuclear arms are not mutually exclusive.
Both can (and should) be done at the same time.
@@Pheelyphistory classes already taught you that... You just need to look it up for yourself. This team doesn't need to hand feed you everything all at once because every information available out there are free to be found already.
@@MollyHJohns As you yourself said, history classes taught me that. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same access to said classes, as some governments (such as Japan) do not teach the same history in their schools.
Indeed, the information is out there. Wouldn't you agree though that some information should be understood *together*? Such that important context that explains what is being taught/experienced? 🤓
@@Pheelyp if such an authority fail to do it then the people can do it themselves together. You can start with that if it concerns you so much.
@@MollyHJohns That is exactly what I am doing now. 🙂
It lacks a few things. The feelings of pain and hopelessness
Yeah. You're aware that you're in a vr video, you're not playing the damaged survivor in the new wasteland who's first instinct is to look for their family and friends only to realize how many of them are now dead. You can't feel the heat or smell the scorched earth, it's only visual.
@Neeowka Like what, you get constantly electricuted with moderate voltage till your skin gets burnt akin to that of the survivors? bruh lol
Blud you have to drop another bomb for that
@@Praecantetia Why doesn't Japan ask itself this: "If we didn't have such a fascist and imperial government which murdered across Asia, would the Americans have bombed us?"
Americans bombing Japan actually saved more lives than it killed, because if America were to land in Japan and fight on the island, Japan would go extinct and all die in banzai charges.
Duh, we'll probably be able to replicate feelings in 10 years anyways
This get me goosebumps. I don't think any country has any right to do this to another country.
This was during ww2 when japan attacked Pearl Harbor so the us dropped the bombs for revenge 🤓👆
@@Idk-tv7pf I do know t matter of pearl harbour. I just couldn't imagine such thing happen again in future. It a lesson, earth only one.
They killed 20Million Chinese in their invasion during WW2. Is that their right?
@@rinsomatic9295 I get what you mean. But like what the other comment had said, this happened because of WWII, when Japan committed tons of atrocities on South East Asia, China, etc.. Crimes which they have yet to formally apologise for btw.
@@schua1999I don’t think that the current Japan should apologize because they’re two completely different generations and already suffered the consequences
What I don't like about history class is that whenever we talk about the bombing of Hiroshima, we would always end with "and then we bombed them and we won" but sometimes we forget that the bomb also killed innocent people as well. My whole class was cheering and singing Here Comes The Sun, but me on the overhand was just in shocked. All they thought was winning but they sometimes forget about the innocent people who were also killed in the bombing.
Respect goes to you. I would be really disturbed by those classmates if I was there when they cheered.
I don't know what has happened and what they're teaching in schools then, because when I learned about the atomic bombing when I was in middle school and high school in the 90's, we definitely DID learn about how horrific it was. Everyone in my class thought it was wrong and we shouldn't have done it. It really feels like schools have majorly gone downhill.
@@moonleung6384I don't understand what's going on. My generation (younger end of Gen X or "Xennials") did learn in school about how horrible the atomic bomb was and we all felt like it was wrong and we shouldn't have done it.
They should also do a vr game set in the Philippines where you choose to play as a civilian, us soldier, ph soldier, a child and a pow before the Hiroshima bombing.
Or in nanking china where you play as one of the victims before the massace happened
Yes, we need a VR simulation of the japanese invasion of Manila.
An excellent idea.
Let history be known to all and they'll never forget.
Fr, Japan likes to act forgetful on the atrocities they did in WOII.
"It wasn't like this, it was worse"
Yeah, it must've been worse because the survivors felt it, the emotions were there. The developers can recreate the scenes but never the emotions, the despair, the grief, the fear.
“If we’d lost the war, we’d all have been prosecuted as war criminals.” -Curtis LeMay, US air force chief of staff who directed the atomic bombing
Please No more war.. hope there are negotiating and peace between the leaders.. only the common people and poor people will suffer.
There needs to be a virtual reality goggles for Japanese to experience the 20million Chinese they killed in WW2
Is the Virtual reality company going to recreate the scene after the Massacre of Nanjing too? Just asking.
As a member of the audience, let's take a moment to truly appreciate the extensive time and work invested by the sardine inventors. I want to seize this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all the inventors for their amazing dedication and hard work. Your efforts make a significant difference in the guest experience, and we deeply appreciate your unwavering commitment. We recognize the long hours you put in, often without breaks, and the tremendous effort you exert every day.
Las Vegas had been nuked 900 times😂😅. Nevada nuclear tests.
would be interesting to see if Nanking massacre can be recreated in VR. That would be REALLY interesting....
Two wrong don't make right
Then create it. I'll wait.
It can be easily made by Chinese but wouldn't
I'll take the quick vaporizing hellscape over the suffering endured in Nanjing/Manilla any day.
@badofi Of course
It would not have happened if Japan didn't colonize other countries like for example, my country the Philippines. The Japanese did horrible things to us and even if the people are not at fault then it's mostly the government.
Not just Philippines, but also China, Korea, Taiwan and entire Southeast Asia except Thailand
Don't forget Indonesia aswell
It's not the people. It's the leader who get greedy and order for heartless action. at the ends common people are the one who suffer the most on both sides.
@@kunsangchoedon1199 Exactly, why are people blaming the Japanese when it should be the government and military that should be blamed.
@@Roberto-dw5jz "other countries" he just made 1 example and youre telling him not just philippines, ofc he knows
It's sad for people that died back then
And it's also the peak of all human realized World War 2 must end immediately and many countries got independence with this event.
Hopefully Nuclear War isn't occuring in my time, and our descendant
Unfortunately I think the leaders would likely want to provide glory to their sovereignty before they die, so it’s soon our within our lifetimes something will happen.
Now recreate what happened at nanking at the same time
japanese government: There was no massacre in Nanking.
Yes
If it weren't for Japan's imperialism and brutalities during WWII why would the U.S. randomly drop atomic bombs on them? They should first admit to their own war crimes before crying about it. Till this day the Japanese government still hasn't apologized to all the countries and people they have invaded and violated
it had nothing to do with japans war crimes. the US used hiroshima and nagasaki to measure the effectiveness of the bombs as they had been left untouched during the duration of the war. 200,000 human guinea pigs for not saying sorry.
And they never will. Japan has rebuilt and is now a decent society. Look at what happened to Germany they admited to their guilt and are now suffering with societal problems because of that guilt, doing whatever other countries tell them to do, bending over backwards to accomodate a different kind of invasion, refugees
@@jeremeh911 Kinda makes sense knowing the world only knew about those warcrimes when the millions of victims THAT SURVIVED spoke out about it, till this day China and both Koreas hate Japan.
Japan has apologized to China, The Philippines and Korea several times. There are over 50+ instances of apologies issued by Japan from the 1950's to 2020's. What more do you want them to do?
If 50 and more apologies aren't enough for you, I believe there is no point in trying to change your mind.
@@katmido And yet? Ever wonder why millions are still mad? If your going to blame that to US propaganda, how do you explain the riots on China then? Even their government supported it
Eu estive no Memorial da Paz em Hiroshima, e lá, literalmente escrito, consta que eles reconhecem a culpa do governo japonês no incidente.
A mensagem que eles passam não é de "somos pobres vítimas" mas de "Vejam o que aconteceu, e não permitam que isso volte a acontecer, em nenhum lugar do mundo"
É mais fácil aceitar a culpa do governo japonês do que enxergarem a culpa dos EUA... São mesmo uns subalternos do dólar.
please speak english stup#d man
Japan: "please show the world we didn't deserve this 😢"
Also Japan: *slaughter more than 20 million in their colonizations*
it's crazy that they admit those they killed and suffered because of them, unlike other imperialist who deny suffering of those they rule and oppressed(currently happening right now)
@@Azzam_Alqudsi UK, USA, Spain, China, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy etc. Those are the main ones
Massacre simulator VR
@@Azzam_Alqudsi They Actually didnt until the victims spoke out, they havent even gotten any compensation and Japanese Public Schools never teach these stuff
@@FenriZzShortz hold ya horses azzam and fenrizz yall forgot japan too
I have another suggestion to the virtual reality company. Recreate the bio weapon lab that Japanese has built that killed thousands of Chinese.
As a monument for it? Yes! Why do you care what happened to the Chinese? Lol don't make me laugh
I deeply respect this initiative but I would also remind everyone of the horrifying acts of Japanese army that led to this catastrophe. 😢 War is always painful for both sides.
This catastrophe could be avoided. USA should also pay for its crimes
@@Straaaayyyy Victors write the history and shape the world. This has been the way of things throughout human history.
And yet President Obama formally apologized on behalf of the US for the atomic bombings when he visited Hiroshima's peace prayer park, and Japan accepted it.
I actually visited the infamous Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo in 2016 where the Japanese honor full-on war criminals, and outright deny having committed any of the countless atrocities the Imperial Japanese military inflicted upon their Asian neighbors. In fact, the Yasukuni museum claims they were merely liberating their Asian neighbors from Western colonial powers but neglected to mention that they were only replacing one brutal master with an even more brutal one, the Japanese themselves. How's that for denialism?
I also visited Hiroshima in 2022 and saw in person the Atomic Bomb Dome, Museum, and peace prayer memorial park. And I still remain adamant in the opinion that the US was justified in the bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were military industrial centers and thus legitimate wartime targets. Had the bombings not taken place, Operation Downfall (the planned Allied invasion of the Japanese mainland) would've gone ahead, resulting in millions more causalities and deaths on both sides, to include millions of dead Japanese civilians instead of the hundreds of thousands who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The atomic bombs ironically saved many more lives than they ended up taking. Learn your history.
@@Straaaayyyy it could not be avoided, if the us were to force a peace with japan they had to do operation downfall, which would be devastating for both sides. japan was arming its civilians at that point
@@arcturionblade1077 the atomic bombings were simply an addition to an already ongoing conventional bombing campaign and thus there was no military need for them. if the United States really wanted to unrelease military facilities in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they would use weapons of lesser destruction power. and yet, at the Yalta conference in February 1945, the USSR offered its help on the condition that it would deal with Germany, which was done by May. USSR and USA had enough power to end this war quickly and without using atomic weapon
@@arcturionblade1077 "ironically saved many more lives" there's no evidence and will never be evidence on whether or not they saved lives. Either way both sides are bad.
Let's do a VR tour at all POW camps in japanese occupied territories in WW2 too!
let's do it, let's remind ourselves that war is dumb
Of course Japanese at that time were guilty of war crimes and atrocity against many nations. But the question is not if they deserved or not the bombing as some people are suggesting in the comments. The real question is why humans go so far in evil to make this kind of situation happens, while we could simply live our lives ? No one deserve to suffer and no one has the right to make others suffer.
war crimes are only given to those who losses
no such as war crimes for the "winners" of war, just an act of defense in a foreign land fighting the natives
Its because of scarcity. The resources on this planet is finite. Unti we humans can colonize space only then will we human enter a post scarcity era.
The japanese army didn't have to go so far either but they did, so what else were the US supposed to do. Firebombing their cities would have killed even more people
@@captainsunbear5472 Space, at least the space we will be able to reach, Is still finite. If we ever get to space I give it anyway between 100 - 500 years before we are battling for hospitable planets
That's why I hope history does not repeat itself. All these nuclear weapons countries own are very scary for me.
We need to recreate the scene where Japanese soldiers invaded our homeland and torture our great grandparents as reminder of the horror of war as well
So long as they make an American version about almost committing genocide against Native Americans on their own land.
@@jakegrimmer1861 you know america is never gonna admit the horrible things they do, like silent genocide, creating coup in South America and Southeast Asia (for food produce or cosmetics) or Middle East and African countries (for energy resources)
ahh yes the actions of government and soldiers equates the suffering of 100,000s of everyday citizens including the children. the atomic bomb isnt the horror of war, it is the unbecoming of humanity. a grossly unneccessary action.
bohooo
Says someone with a Japanese username...(?)
That's very heartbreaking
that’s aint no heartbreaking
that fcking heart vaporizing
I hope they can recreate how Japanese soldiers tortured their colonies.
Japan before the atomic bomb:we want to conquer the whole world,we killed 20 millions Chinese alone in China.
Japan after the atomic bomb:Now,we’re the victims.
No truer words have been said
Yes right..
Mao killed 40 to 80million chinese (mostly indirectly). but as my history teacher said, "there are no rules of war". grow tf up
Now that the hatred that make China cannot better than Vietnam lol
I dont think Japan is claiming to be victims.
Recreate the 'torture chambers' of unit 731. It would be a worst experience
Why not ? Recreate all mass murders of US and UK in Indian subcontinent and Africa. Pretty sure everyone will be feeling sick after watching that. Just the genocide of East Pak will make people puke 3 mil gone in one week. It wasn't a nuke it was guns and knives.
I dont think there are any survivors of that
I don't know what that is, probably because it's not relevant. The atomic bombs aren't just important to the Japanese, but also important to the USA, as a show of our might and ability. If it's important to the USA, then it's important for the world, Bucko.
@@sergeybrin6701 Bucko, then you should read about it. It is highly relevant. If you know what happened, then you would empathize why people from that era wished that more bombs were dropped.
@@sergeybrin6701 let me tell you something, that unit alone killed more people brutually and mercilessly than the 2 bombs dropped on Japan.
They keep saying that they are the victims of WW2 without say anything about what they have done to others, which is why they had to had that bomb. Very interesting people.
🙏 Deepest condolences to All the Victims' families & friends of WWII around the World , not only in Japan , as so many innocent people in other Nations suffered & died due to the Totalitarian & Farcist Regimes' selfish desire to conquered & pilferaged other Countries' resources! The two Atomic Bombs dropped in Hiroshima & Nagasaki were necessary evil & were Peacemaker Bombs as they helped to Stop WWII in the Pacific theatres that might caused Millions more innocent people to suffered , injured , maimed or killed if these senseless WWII wars to be let to continue for further years ... Hope we learnt to Protect & Nurture the Peace we all share in this Modern Cosmopolitan World of the 21st Century ... 🕯🌼🌿🌎💜🕊
Next: survivors help recreating the Japanese Nanking massacre.
There had been over 1,000 nuclear detonations INSIDE mainland USA and in Russia (as well) from all the nuclear test detonations during the Cold War.
they should recreate all the horrible things Japan's empire did.
They should also do a simulation of what happened in Nanking
Why don 't they also recreate the happenings which took place in Manila during 1945 ? I am sure it would present the same horror brought in by the Japanese .
yeah but do japanese people know that japan invaded many countries in the past? many people died because of them too you know
What scares me is that the Hiroshima bomb is "weak" by today standards. The bombs are far powerful today, we will not survive a WW3.
Even if WW3 happens no country will ever use nuclear weapons
Cities of Nanking, Hiroshima and Nagasaki should have each other memorials and museums--Nanking should have Atomic Bombing Horrors Museum and Hiroshima and Nagasaki should have Nanking Massacres Museum. This way , no one can forget the Evilness of Japanese Militarism.
Yes.. do not forget...the evil of war when we are living at a time where wars are now glorified..
A historical topic trade would be quite interesting.
@@DeNihility Japanese people n Japan’s Western Allies (after WW2 n allied to be antiCommunists to fight n continue the Cold War) are mourning every Aug. Who mourn for the 20 millions of mainly Chinese lives every year? The Silence about 20 millions Chinese deaths during the Annual August Mourning is absurd, ridiculous, insincere, hypocritical,careless, inhumane, clownly?- I actually can’t find better adjectives but it will not be “ interesting “ as you say it. This annual Aug Clown Show/Mourning must be stopped to honor the 30 millions deaths( Japanese included) n remember the Evilness of Japan Militarism to stop this Global Militarism.
@@DeNihility No?
I remember what Einstein said :
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".
I can't imagine if all the war country launching their nuke at the same time.
I’m so disgusted with the comments. People are literally fighting over whose country suffered more and whose war crimes were less horrible. Justifying one of the most dreadful events in history. Is it really a place for all this?
Can they make one to recreate Nanking in WW2 ?
In 2019 we went to hiroshima and met a guy with a sign that was in japanese and he told us he was a survivor and we interviewed him in english. Dont know where he is know, cant remember his name either. Hopefully hes still alive
Do you think people are gonna get the wrong message about this?
...and that was just 16 kiloton yield. Now most nuclear armed countries have like megatons on single missile and/or multiple hundreds-of-kiloton warheads on single missile
Now we need those in Nanking and the Philippines for the Japanese to watch.
are there Nanjing massacre and 731 experiment survivors helping them to recreate being murdered and dismembered vr experience ?
While i don't know how accurate that VR potrayed visualization of atomic bombing, it wouldn't be able to replicate atmosphere, heat, and smell. So every survivor would certainly say the real are worse.
Reminder to everyone that the Little Boy and Fat Man bombs are considered “low yield” nuclear bombs.
Perhaps we should also make a virtual Holocaust, so we stop people from disrespecting the dead with their denialism
Honestly,this project is really useless or rather “hurtful” in a sense cause this really brings back hatred between USA and japan.we already have peaceful ties between them so i feel this project may worsen ties in the way japan sees USA which is not what we want or need in this world rn.Who would want to relive the moment in which their entire family was blown up?
The point of this project is not to rekindle hatred between Japan and the United States, but to remind people it should never happen again. If you relive the terror that happened that day, it’s working.
they should add irl radiation poisioning
I already experienced it in COD MW
Same bro
People who don't find anything wrong in this should understand that civilians and and army personnel of a country are not the same. Most of civilians don't even know the war crimes done by thier armies.
Can they also create VR on when the japanese invaded south korea and philippines. K!lL!ng and GrAp!ng young and old women? I bet they cant, they are just too focused on the people who were killed by the bomb but not the people they tortured from other countries.
As someone from the us, i still feel sad about what happened. I wasnt born then but as a kid in schools they downplay it. At least where i am from. After learning that kids in school were killed aswell i believe that the us went to far
Tbf, the American school system also downplayed the crimes against humanity the Japanese did against their subjects.
If the US school system didn't downplay it and told every gritty detail parents would go ballistic to shield their kids.
@@republicofkoreaball4349 true aswell
@@republicofkoreaball4349 duh Americans were cooperating with Japan torture scientists for knowledge. Filthy America even pardoned the worst humans for that reason.
Nah, the U.S. saw an opportunity to end the war without an invasion of the main Japanese islands and took it.
True definition of 'When technology works too well for humans'
Wanna see recreation of Japanese soldiers occupation of the Philippines.
I am pretty sure they need to too
Remember that japan started the war and has committed countless of warcrimes. There are some that are still resurfacing and some that are still hidden. They are not the victims of the war.
Then we should nuke US because they started a lot of wars even in recent history.
what about what happened in nanking it was baiscally erased from japanese history.
Company: describe what you see
Me: all I can really say is things are getting lit 🔥
should they make virtual reality based on japan invasion as well? like what they did to korea, china and southeast asia? in case most of ya'll forgotten that japan isn't the victim here.
Yeah, but those countries don't matter, so no one cares. Sorry, but it's true.
Japan's aggression during the war was both unjustifed and horrific.
@@Pheelyp Maybe, but who cares?
@@sergeybrin6701 Quite a lot of us, as you have doubtless seen in the comments section. 🙂
@@Pheelyp So you're delusional. Fine by me. Enjoy your unnecessary anger.
They won’t even let you comment regarding factual events, legitimate history. All my comments about the Pacific Theater have been deleted.
The bomb, the buildings, the people are just mere lumps of atoms though. Can't understand how one lump is more important than the others
They should test it in the US and ask their citizens about the experience
"it wasn't like this. It was worse"
It's remind me of "Barefoot Gen". The animation was something that would tell you what is worse.
Let’s not forget that this could have been avoided by just waving the white flag. Emperor Hirohito was willing to risk the lives of every single last Japanese citizen, men, women, and children. Civilians. As awful as Hiroshima/Nagasaki were, we ultimately spared more lives of Japanese civilians and military than their own Emperor would have spared. We even pardoned all of the atrocious war crimes that the Japanese committed against Allied soldiers, Marines, and other military personnel. Let’s not even get into what they did to Chinese women, Dutch women, and any woman they could subjugate and exploit because they believed that all other races existed to serve the superior Japanese race.
This is a human wipeout. Survivors never forget the rest of their life.
Regardless of all the evil things a government can do, innocent civilians shouldn’t have to pay the ultimate price for jt.
During the only election held during the war, the Japanese general public demonstrated strong support for the military.
With an 83.1% turnout, the election gave the fascist, pro-military Imperial Rule Assistance Association an overwhelming mandate with 381 out of 466 seats in their House of Representatives.

@@Pheelyp great insight, thank you for that, I was unaware of that fact. however people don’t know what they want when it comes to government, they are scared just like everyone else and obviously want to depend on their government to keep them safe from foreign attacks. They will agree with anything they’re imposed because it’s their own country and pride. Basically you are saying that factually they all deserved to get bombed, I still think not. Besides, I really doubt the general Japanese population knew exactly what horrific things their government was doing at the time.
@@juliangonzalez7793 Though I think I understand what you are trying to say, I would have to respectfully disagree.
1. With freedom comes responsibility. The Japanese people then had a choice, and they chose to support their Imperial Army that had invaded and colonized their neighbors, and committed numerous attrocities. Therefore, they are responsible for that action.
2. The Japanese domestic propaganda machine trumpted their Imperial Army's victories. The people knew what was being done and were happy about it.
Not so happy anymore when the same horrors were inflicted on them, I imagine. 😄
@@Pheelypropaganda alone is not enough to show the public what exactly is being done behind closed doors. Propaganda is biased and misleading according to definition. Therefore it is “sugarcoated” and does not entirely explain in detail what the government is actually doing and how they are getting done. It is merely just an image or a symbol in the bias of the imposer.
People will absolutely agree to anything their government does when it comes to taking over other countries because they themselves are afraid of retaliation from the government.
And of course no one likes to get an atomic bomb thrown at them and their families and friends and everyone they’ve ever known, no matter what they’re guilty of, no one will want that.
@@juliangonzalez7793 I agree with your definition of propaganda. Granted, the Japanese government could have been (and probably were) sugarcoating what the Imperial Army was doing.
However, they communicated the core truths - they were invading other countries. The Japanese people strongly supported this by giving the fascist, pro-military party an overwhelming mandate in their House of Representatives (even though voting is secret, and thus the individual could not be retaliated against for opposing the government).
Or are you saying that the Japanese people have NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL for strongly supporting the fascist, pro-military party?
Nothing short of a Massacre. So many people lost their lives.
Yeah because I'm sure that the Japanese Empire during WW2 wasn't one of the worst perpetrators of human rights violations in human history, and also didn't target multiple civilian populations (the US included) with chemical warfare (against the Geneva and Hague conventions). I'm sure that Japanese imperialism wasn't just to exploit people and led to the rapes of "a thousand people at day and a thousand people at night" at its peak.
Is there a recording of this for people who cant go there yet?
for better or for worse people of Japan should never forget the disaster
Why is there no link or description in to how to see the actual video itself? Seems more interesting than the news coverage...and maybe even part of naming sources? Why no disclaimer that it isnt available on social media (if it isnt)?
Why do i want to listen to the news...when i can experience the news? Seems backwards
Nuclear the thing protecting us all. Best deterrent.
Hopefully Japan learns not to mess with the USA again, America #1
I forgot the name but there was an anime (something goro?) Which depcited the horrors of the bombings as well as the aftermath. Horrifying doesn't just cut it
Edit: the anime is called barefoot gen
there's also a movie called barefoot Gen
U can see it but what about feeling it painfully
PSVR2 VR
They should recreate the Tokyo firebombing in VR, it was equally devestating.
And in both VRs, it should be clearly stated that the Japanese general public strongly supported its Imperial Army in the only elections held during war-time.
I think this should also be in the US too.
time for my grandpa who served in Vietnam get a VR
Extremely scary and sad.
Really was way darkly painful than that
Let's focus on how horrifying atomic bombs and the after effects on human and environment, instead of whining about being who was wrong and who were the real victims. The WW2 was over decades ago, get over it. But we should be aware that it can happen again. And this is the real purpose, to remind people what would happen if the powerful countries use the nuclear bombs again. It is not a competition about who suffered more.
All of this and even more! Seriously. We forget that sometimes, a warning is realized too late
Didn't Einstein quote something about madness and doing something again and again and getting similar results?
@@sean5051 people really be making it about who suffered more in the past while we should really talk about what could happen in the future. If nuclear can caused that damage in 1945 I don't want to imagine the damage it can cause in modern days. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, I laughed at the idea that WW can happen again, but now it doesn't seem impossible.
Of course they make VR experience based on their tragedy to educate their own citizen for their own misery not what they caused to others...

You ought to think about what this vr experience is trying to educate. I believe it educates its people not to be better than how the people were in the past
@@euphisa8127 victim mentality is what they are trying to achieve here. They don't think they are in the wrong
How ironic for south china news to report on this rather than nanking or unit 731
Dont blame the Americans..blame your country that conquer whole ASEAN and many millions innocent souls killed bcs of Japan empire
One of the goals of Imperial Japan to conquer Asia is to promote pan-Asianism by kicking the western colonizers out of Asia.
Look at what Japan is today. Ironic.
True
Exactly
it was more of a hellfire than that
I think that’s great, but I wonder if Japan puts this much effort to show what they were doing.
Whatever they were doing doesn't matter one bit in comparison to the strength and commitment of the USA and its military. THAT is what the world needs to remember forever - the USA will never be a weak force in the world.
They should include their war-time atrocities in their school curriculum.
@@sergeybrin6701Strength and commitment? You do realize nearly as many people died in Okinawa ALONE than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. The death toll projections by Allied Forces was not inappropriate. Hundreds of thousands more Japanese would have been killed on top of a far more aggressive and brutal occupation that may have ended up being a precursor to Vietnam. The U.S. back then was far weaker
@@jakelee7083 You talk like you know history but it's obvious you have a tenuous grasp on it. Why don't you come back when you finish your high school history class? But even then maybe wait 50 years for you to mature enough to understand it.

And Nanjing massacre Japanese killed 200,000 Chinese from China.
