Before we move on to my "ordinary" complicated fluffy explanations.

The above song is by one of Japanese band called "Ellegarden", the title is "Salamander"!!.

So... it sharpens you up... Let's go for the bothering story from now.

Originally... "Cultural day" is installed to set broaden the fundamental cultural essence of human beings to the world from the Japanese people's hope for to accomplish the world peace!!.

But... "Combat air fighters" against "love and peace".

these words have totally opposite meanings.

Hence... it seems to be the "Air Show" hosted by "Japanese Self defence Forces", which is simply called as "JSDF" does not matches with the aim of "Cultural day".

However... there is a lack of important premise why they have to open it on that particular day.

That reason is easily can be estimated from the name of "JSDF"!!.

Yes... our "JSDF" is not a military force.

This is a very important premise to comprehend it.

Quite frequently, the "JSDF" is misunderstood as an military force by from foreigners.

Even from the above a half of Japanese citizens still in today.

But... If you hear the origins of the JSDF, you may understand why we have to open the Air Show on that particular day.

After the devastating the Pacific War.

Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration (Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender) issued on July 26, 1945 before the end of the war.

In August 15th 1945, Japan had signed the treaty of accepting unconditionally surrender.

The treaty aimed at the complete surrender of Japan.

Hence, the all Japanese military forces were instantly dismantled.

But... until the time of "Korean war" had started.

In the year 1948 Korean nation was founded, but a nation had soon broke up into two countries, known as "South Korea" and "North Korea".

On 25th June, 1950... the North Korean army invaded South Korea and the Korean War broke out.

The United States government judged it impossible to secure covering Japanese national security during the war.

The US asked Japanese government to improve police force for to protect its own land and people.

As caused by that result.

The "police reserve team" had established which was the predecessor of "JSDF".

Therefore... "Japanese Self Defence Forces",  "JSDF" has established its basic rules as "police force".

And that basic principle has been faithfully implemented even in today.

Its spirit is also indicated in "the Constitution of Japan", "abandon any type of a war".

Hence... the purpose of the "JSDF" 's activities are limited based on the fundamental rule of "an organization of police officers to protect peace and secure citizens".

So... every single "JSDF" members have strong beliefs and prides as being as a member of friendly police officers.

Add more explanations for your curious.

All Japanese police officers are well mannered, very polite, friendly, and be nice to anybody.

All the police officers are strictly obeying their employment rules and ordinances.

Therefore... they gently deal with you,even if you have committed a crime in front of them.

They gently surround you, always in quiet voices, keep asking you to be arrested in  calmly.

Of course... all Japanese police officers are carrying a SIG Sauer P232JP Automatic hand guns (8pcs×0.32ACP, 7.65mm browning bullets).

But... comparing with the other nations' police officers, Japanese police officers are strictly regulated the use of guns, even if for the warning shots.

The numbers of usage of entire Japanese police officers, the warning shots in the actual crime scenes are around once every five years.

So... from these facts... JSDF officers are soldiers.

But... strongly do required to act as the calmful Japanese police officers from Japanese citizens.

Hence...JSDF officials have put the most importance to obey on the meaning of the word "Senshu Bouei"(専守防衛=defense only).

This word has including the belief "defense only at any case, anytime".

Therefore... JSDF has the same mission to be set as like the police.

They should protect not to be afforded to hurt by their attacking first against any national citizens.

So... unlikely the other general countries' military forces.

JSDF does not have any "attacking weapons" against other nations, only has for  defense purpose weapons.

Therefore... does not possess any equipments to attack other territories like bombers, long range missiles, long distance attacking fighters and long range battleship vessels too.

The reason to be exist as JSDF is only for to be the guardians of peace and secure Japanese and own lands in today.

They understand it very well this sevier truth is.

Once the war have occurred... they are the one will get killed at the first.

But we strongly believe that JSDF never won't fight back until they have received the permission from the United nations committee and the order from Japanese government.

Even in these sevier situations... they will act as "friendly police officers" of "the guardians of peace".

That is JSDF's and our Japanese citizen's pride, belief, and honor.

Actually... their role is not guarding only for Japanese, but their hands are open toward entire world citizens.

These devoted actions can be found as much as you search the internet.

But for the people who want to know right away.

Watch the above movie.

A big heart is drawn in the sky by the T-4 Blue Impulse planes, representing our hope "Love and peace for all people" and "the arrow" describes "our wish comes true".

Full of a good heart...right??.

Their wish along with the shining heart in the blue sky.

I hope you have received it too.

But sadly... JSDF is dealing with their emergency scrambles against airspace infringement (violation) by foreign aircrafts, surprisingly for more than 900 times per a year.

Almost 70% of emergency scrambles were caused by Chinese military force and 25% by Russian military force including bombers and fighters.

We hope them to comprehend our honesty and stop these foolish acts right away.

Ahaha... ordinary Japanese intend not to talk these particular "Bad things".

But... We have to establish strong friendships instead of making one-sided harassments.

For to make everyone be happy... wishing such a happy future comes true.
