u know i wasnt old enuf 2 c him n he still had such a big impact on japans psyche lol murayama's apology is somethin that stil makes me emotional 2dayz. my grandma used 2 tell me about how her family was affected by japan's wartime aggression & it's still somethin thats talked about in our house 2day i think its really brave of him 2 speak out like he did, especially b4 it wuz cool 2 do so his legacy will def live on & hopefully Japans continued journey towards reconciliation
Ugh, it's sad that Japan still can't seem to get over its wartime past... 101 years old and the wounds are still fresh I mean, I'm glad he apologized back in '95, but it feels like they're still stuck in the same cycle. It's like they expect everyone else to forgive them just because they said sorry . Murayama might be gone, but his message is still needed, and Japan needs to keep pushing forward
it's crazy how much of an impact one person can have on the collective psyche of a nation . I mean, Murayama's apology was like a wake-up call for Japan to confront its dark past & make amends . It's wild that his passing is already sparking tributes from around the world . But what's really interesting is how this reflects on Japan's ongoing struggle to reconcile with its wartime history . Like, are they making progress or just dusting off old wounds? either way, Murayama's legacy is a powerful reminder that acknowledging our past mistakes can lead to healing & growth .
