As did young people all over the world in the last war,
The young people of Japan at that time also wished for the happiness of their beloved families, and for the sake of protecting their loved ones, for their friends, for the happiness of the people of their hometowns,
Not only that, but they also stood up and fought for the downtrodden people of the world.
In proportion to the strength of the heart of love for people, the determination to lay down one’s life for love becomes stronger. Just as Jesus Christ did.
This is the secret of the strength of Japan’s young samurai. It is never a strength that arises from a savage heart. As proof of this, I hope that you will read these letters of heroic spirits, and I will post them here.
We, the people of Japan, wish for the happiness of your country and the happiness of people all over the world.

Dearest Yasuko
Yasuko probably doesn’t know me from the Special Attack Force.
I don’t know how good you have grown.
I’m sure you’re scared of air raids every day.
I’ll make my enemies feel the same way.
I’m going to ram a big aircraft carrier.
When I succeed in doing so, please make me feel happy by singing “GOUCHINGOUCHIN” (Popular military songs sung by children in wartime Japan – blog author’s comment) with Fumiko.
I don’t speak English.
