First Japan army waged war in the east-north China far from Japan, we marched lantern parades or processions with flags flying in celebration of victories. We were informed only victories, for example we today had attacked and sunk an enemy ship, and we occupied enemy country. We were always delighted at victories. We took part in a women's association that defended Japan and joined victory festival.
The war between Japan and America had begun; Japan had attacked from the air, I realized the horrors of war. I want Japan to go to war never again.
(Questioner: "Vietnam is also far from Japan, I think.").
Yes, it is far but I feel it familiar to me. I feel that it is attacked as if relative of mine.
