Circus, "American Feeling" with "Do Japanese people hate Americans??".-Japanese Culture Expeditor

Japanese appreciated Americans a lot...なのです!!.

.

Hi guys!!.

The theme for today is so complicated and sensitive issue as known as inappropriate topic to show my opinion as an ordinary Japanese citizen by considering about foreign victims during that time.

However... I also have enormous fluffy characteristic of typical Japanese personality.

So... have decided to write about it.

Hence... If you are tired to read my esoteric explanations.

listen to this "American Feelings" which had released on 1979 by the Japanese chorus unit called "Circus".

It definitely convincing that you may understand the outline of "my esoteric topic of explanations" by listening this "American feeling"... maybe?.

What he concerned against Japanese the most was??.

Ahaha... scares you a lot??.

Anyway... Do you remember that we have met with new American friend at Kamata station on beginning of this month??.

We have made a lot of fun conversations during that day.

But... one simple question that he asked me at in the train is still reminded again and again in my memory.

That question was...

"Do Japanese people hate Americans??".

He also followed as.

"Due to the ruthless bombing against innocent citizens in Tokyo and other major Japanese cities by dropping bombs and even atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during Pacific War.

These war acts are still remaining as hatred in Japanese people against Americans even in today??".

Actually... He has a PHD of history.

So... I do understand that he is deeply may concern about the bad impressions against Americans probably remaining in Japan still by the sorrow historical facts almost a century ago.

See... it is an very sensitive issue... でしょ？？.

How did I make answer for this question??.

Prior to the Pacific War.

Japan had colonized the other innocent countries except Korea to secure own resources.

We deeply regretting not considered other countries at all of huge mistakes made by our ancestors.

We have expressing apologies of the war acts many time in the past.

That is also including Japan allied race, Korean people who had fought together with Japan against USA during the pacific war.

According to the history facts... the responsibilities for these Japanese wartime acts have already been solved under the name of the treaties "Japan-South Korea Basic Treaty" which had concluded on 1965 and the "China-Japan Basic Agreement" concluded on 1972.

Eventually... China and South Korea have signed a treaty with Japan and that is the truth.

But sadly... Chinese and South Korean governments are ignoring that important fact.

They are continuously claiming the Japanese war time crimes to the world for to get extra compensation moneys many times even in today.

Therefore... Japanese government have compromised against these countries and have concluded the treaties along with making repeatedly apologies so many times in the past.

Since then Chinese and South Korean governments have signed the each treaties stating that "This is the last conclusion treaty for all the past Japanese war crime acts which happened during the war".

Every time they have signed the treaties they have received extra compensation moneys out from Japan many times.

Every moments signing on treaties should be the time for ending of war time sorrowful memories between these countries.

But... Chinese and South Korean governments are always ignoring these treaties.

They have repeatedly requesting to pay another extra enormous amount of compensations even in today.

Our Japanese government have being always sincerely responding with Chinese and South Korean governments' everlasting reckless demands by repeating to pay reparations with regrets to show our atonement against the long past acts in the war time for to satisfy them many times from 1945 until today.

As have said that these our neighboring countries have changed the subject to the new political issues always just to get additional money out from Japan.

Just for to satisfy their own high pride with unfulfilled greed for money and the territory.

Their jealousy with enormous wrath against Japanese economic high growth.

These ugly feelings have expressing by fabricating a lot of fake evidences for distorting "Intentionally History" to justify their nasty acts of making "Japan bashing" to take more money which has named as "Palimony against War crimes" from us.

These nasty acts can be seen in that Korean forces have occupying our Japanese owned Islands called 'Takeshima Island' and is almost nearly invading 'Senkaku Islands' by Chinese forces.

Korean government is neglecting the treaty of "The treaty on the basic relationship between Japan and the Republic of Korea" which had concluded on 1965.

They abolishes the above Japan-Korea treaty and keep promoting "The wartime comfort ladies issue" and "The wartime workers issue" against Japan and other nations even in today.

Also Chinese government is doing same too.

Japanese hates the people who make lies or someone claims disgraceful excuses in everydays life.

Besides, on our mindset and habit have the trend of hating the most who neglects social rules and manners, especially who do not follow the rules of contracts or treaties.

Please keep them in your mind.

However... I do not want to be angry.

So... decided to avoid these issues today.

Because these people are deliberately carrying out with malicious intentions of these acts, It is meaningless to teach them the world common sense who do not want to understand at all.

Therefore today... Just stick only answering to my American friend's question.

"Do Japanese people hate Americans even in today??".

Well... My answer is as at the main title.

"Every Japanese people do appreciate with Americans a lot since our surrender till today".

I think many of you people would never ever understand my word "appreciation" when you have think about the huge numbers of civilian victims at war time.

Your would have unbelievable feelings when you have heard that my great-grandparents and other relatives were killed in massive Tokyo bombing attack just before the end of the war by the US forces.

However... believing or not.

All Japanese people are appreciating with Americans a lot and do not have any of bias and dislike feelings against them.

Ahaha... the most of you people might not comprehend our feeling yet.

So... I say it again.

My girlfriend and I like Americans at all the time.

Eventually... Japanese and Americans have had a hard time.

But... All Japanese love Americans the most in the world.

Therefore... as a representative of all descendants of wartime victims in Japan.

We do not have any of resentment impressions against the US citizens at all.

This incomprehensible Japanese mindset especially from the westerners is explainable by the typical Japanese phrases of.

"Shouganai"(しょうがない) or "Shikata Ga Nai"(しかたがない).

The above two phrases have the differences in pronunciation and in spellings but has with the same meanings of.

★Oh well.

★It can not be helped.

★Do not mind.

★Does not matter.

★Whats so ever.

★Let it go.

So... when common Japanese are facing dilemma like a problem has no way out.

Speak the above phrase unexpectedly with a small sigh..."Shouganai".

Ahaha... still not get it??.

Well... let's think in this way.

The War is the crazy period that can officially murdering other innocent citizens without any punishments.

War is the exception act to make claims.

Do you remember what I said at the above??.

"Since it is no use of making arguments for to blame of their barbarous acts".

Blaming and claiming acts definitely makes people get mad.

And so... it has a possibility developing to a fight.

Fighting is equals to a War.

So... All Japanese know that war is the most disgraceful acts of human beings.

Therefore... Japanese stubbornly refuse to show own opinions against others.

Silently follow social manners and rules.

Not to make arguments with the people have different mindsets!!.

Also... Japanese do not care much about the past.

And know their present situations are their responsibilities must to be accept.

For example.

I had to leave ex-company from the position as the international sales leader of Japan and India almost 12 years ago.

The reason of I had to leave position was.

My deceased mother had dementia (the brain sickness of lost memories and human behaviors) when I had received an order to shift to transfer to south India from the chairman of the company.

But impossible to give medical care as same as in Japan for dementia mother at there.

I had to make the most saddest decision to leave the loved company by disobeyed against company's order.

I am looking for a new position since then.

But... recent Japanese companies are evaluate only at virginity and purity.

So... Companies are no need of employing 47 years old tired looking man like me.

I have sent my resume to over 5000 companies since then.

But... any of the company are not accepting to employ me still in today!!.

I am in very serious situation right now.

But... as like with the mindset of ordinary Japanese people.

"I am the one who should take all responsibilities since I have made that decision".

Therefore... I never have criticism against companies government and social system.

I am the one who has to take all blames.

Regretting heavily to lean straining on my precious girlfriend everyday.

But very kindly... my girlfriend keep saying the splendid warm phrases at me as.

"I am believing that your decision is right.

Your decision had made us to send your mother to heaven in peace.

The past is the past.

Do not blame yourself anymore.

Do what you can do everyday.

And just focus on to look into a bright future".

Ahaha... be proud of my girlfriend too much??.

Anyway... my mother had died just a month after I left from that company.

So... I am focusing for looking into my bright future, not to looking back my regrets in the past.

"We will never fight again" is the most important point to be remembered.

Now you know the actual Japanese mindset of how to handle the past.

"Think back it carefully and refrain from making the same mistake again" is the most important point to do for us.

But... the past is the past.

No matter how regretted... not be able to change the past.

So... "accept as it is" and "Keep strongly remembering that all responsibilities are my own side".

"Always striving self for the best. just focusing to our bright future".

These points are the most important for to implement on us.

So... converts this typical Japanese mindset into the above question.

"War is the past" is converted as "the past is the past".

Then it can translated into "The history".

Also... "The Pacific war" was caused Japanese soldiers had killed a lot of Americans soldiers too.

Therefore... Japanese have no rights to blame only Americans.

So... We are equally victims and assailants and both nations were situated and be forced under the name of the sacrifices of the war.

Hence... Japanese and Americans are the good companions who have had same horrible situations in the past.

And the most important thing to keep in our mind is.

We will never fight again.

This is the reason why Japanese people love the US citizens since the end of the Pacific war (WW II) till now.

So... finally... explain the top music.

The title of the song is called "American Feeling" released on 1979 by Japanese popular group unit, "Circus".

It is a song showing strong yearning for the United states of America.

This song earned a huge popularities from youngstars to old ages.

So... many people are singing at Karaoke even now.

Japanese mindset have not changed since that time even.

I think you have comprehend completely about our honest feelings to the United states now... maybe... かもね？？.

This is all for today!!.

そんな感じで... みなさん...ごきげんよぉーって事なのです（笑）.

Pyonko and Mu From Tokyoでしたぁーっ！！.
