Translation
Marking 72 years since the end of World War II on Aug. 15, the government hosted the National Memorial Ceremony for the War Dead at the Nippon Budokan stadium in Tokyo, where attendees mourned the war dead and renewed their pledge for peace.
Security-related laws have been in effect for a while now and amendments to the Constitution seem more likely to happen. Amid Japan¡¯s adherence to ¡°renouncing war¡± swaying, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stressed that ¡°we will never again repeat the devastation of war,¡± but again did not mention Japan¡¯s aggression to Asian countries this year. The Emperor read his words, which included the term ¡°deep remorse¡± ¡ª a term he has used for three consecutive years.
