TOKYO - Japanese Emperor Naruhito expressed “deep remorse” over the country’s wartime past and prayed for world peace on Saturday, the 75th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War Two. “I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never again be repeated,” Naruhito, 60, said at a ceremony for war dead. Naruhito, the grandson of Emperor Hirohito in whose name Imperial troops fought the war, is Japan’s first monarch born after the war. He ascended the throne last year after his father, Akihito, abdicated.

Naruhito, who together with Empress Masako has been largely absent from public view since Japan’s coronavirus outbreak worsened earlier this year, also expressed hope the country could come together to overcome the pandemic.

What about the wars and covert operations fought after the second world war...when will those countries apologies for spreading misery and pain?

国民はちっとも反省してないよ。

Do we have to perpetually apologise for everything now?

Pleasing liberals? With that logic even European, Mongols, Chinese & Americans should be expressing deep remorse over country's expansionist and colonial past

Fucking Japs. Send omg money instead of talking!

What's the difference between remorse and apologize?

Japan emperor without saying 'hi' :

Why do other generations apologize for the past? someone in the future will apologize for what you do today.
