9 August
9 August 1945, the A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing
74000 people, one-third of its population.
The war is not over yet in this city.
The mayor of Nagasaki Hitoshi Motoshima, 67 was gun downed
by a right-wing extremist on 18 January 1990.
Then 17 years later, Mayor Iccho Ito, 61 was shot dead by a Yakuza
on 18 April 2007.
Both mildly criticized that Tenno might take responsibility for WWⅡ.
Wanna another story?
Last week, Princess Masako told reporters at one of their summer-houses,
'My daughter Aiko is looking forward to some swim here (the family's
private beach!). Lovely August speech, indeed.
