I will inform you today as well.
Tomorrow, Saturday, August 28, at NHK's ETV special feature (23: 00-0: 00)
"Living on the island of" Tamashii "-Record of Japanese immigrants on Tinian-" will be broadcast.
Before the war, Tinian Island was home to many Japanese immigrants to grow sugar cane. In the summer of 1945 during the Pacific War, a mighty US army landed and the Japanese army on the island was wiped out. As the US military approaches, Japanese immigrants are forced into group suicide one after another, and they have a spectacular experience of killing their close friends. And the anguish that the surviving family had for a lifetime. This program was created based on testimony, which can be said to be a will, by interviewing people with heavy memories for over 20 years. It's a painful and heavy content, but I hope you can see it in the sense of reaffirming the preciousness of peace.
