Hiroshima survivor tells her story as G7 world leaders meet in the Japanese city 

99 years old? Holy crap. I thought she was 70-80

In most cases this is due to the type of lifestyle that people get to look really good at this age.

@@moaziz23 That would make her too young for WW2!

​@@Brainwashed101the bomb was dropped 80 years ago. So she mustve been in her 20s

If the United States would care about the food we eat, the cleanliness of our waters and encourage individuals to have gardens of their own and quit poisoning us, we too could live close to her age! As it is with hormones, steroids and who knows what they put in our animals and crops, that's why a 12 year old looks like a 20 yr old! I've never in 65 years seen children look like young adults except in this age and era! What man is doing will come back to bite him!

Hmm 🤔, did you know I'm from nation that your nation do something bad things to my nation and another nation's ❓🤔 Sorry 🙏 😿, but you must learn what your nation did toward another nation's ❗

@@thinkingcat1416 I know of both nations have done alot of bad things to other nations. My grandmother was Japanese (Asako Nankaku) not just born there. my grandfather was polish. my fathers side is german, indian and swedish. Thank you though I do wish more people will learn, my grandma had only items and make the food everything else I had to learn on my own. she would only say once I am still learning thing everyday (slowly) thank you ありがと ございます 🙂

​@@rightforme that makes u being a polyglot and multicultural person 😊❤(love from india and nepal)

​@@thinkingcat1416 I know how Japanese Imperial army did to most of the asian& asean country during 1920s-1940s .....now they ask for forgiveness by creating some weebos and anime and jav fo r the world

@@Rosmah_Mansor_Uwek i hate kadrun too ❗ I bet you are from Indonesia ❗ Relax, I'm not like to generalizing all Japanese bad people's ❗

Her country and leaders still won't admit to what Japan did to Korea and other Asian countries. Hiroshima is peanuts in comparison.

I don't understand why they forgive us. They had no reason too. Guess they are better people then us!

If you don’t understand then you need to watch less videos in RU-vid and start to pay attention to your history class. Japanese definitely better people than the Americans now but in the WW2, people in Asian only can say thank you for the atom boom that ended Japanese invasion. The torture, human experiment, rape…etc ended.

And they say radiation won't give you super powers.

​@@sluggy6074 😅

And you posted on the original link 😁

She looks 78 or 79? Lol, why not say she looks 75 or 80? 😅

Way to dodge what the video is about

It is very so very simple explaination why US drop atomic bomb because you japanese keep invading countries thats why US force to drop atomic bomb solve the problem.. thats all 😂😂

Amazing. America has NEVER express any remorse over killing of hundreds of thousands of civilians. They are not ashamed of dropping the nuclear bomb and even account it as being a hero for that.

@@cancanjaker1620 it is plain and simple man japanese army and emperor before is invading country they US TRIED TO TALK japanese but japanese army and emperor never listen so what choice do you have if you were american it is simple explanation bro hahahaha

That's right leaders are to blame not a race or a nation. Hitler is hated not germany.

​@@cancanjaker1620 I'm not American. But I thank America for liberating all Asians From the Japanese invaders. America gave Japan a chance to surrender so many times because it didn't want to drop the bomb . After Hiroshima, the Americans gave Japan another chance to surrender but still ignored America's warning, so the second bomb was dropped in Nagasaki. Why should America apologize to Japan. Do you want to apologize to your rapist and murderer ?

Well said mitch

There's a Porates of the Carribean movie with that theme as well

Even if they watch it ,it won't change a thing.thier political ambitions supercede any humanity or race...

I share the same sentiment, thanks for sharing. Hard to describe how it feels to walk the streets there vs here.

Me too😢

It’s an urban legend in Japan. There’s no evidence that Kokura was the alternate target. But in Japan it’s called the “Luck of Kokura”. I do believe that Kitakyushu was a target though.

That was covered on the RU-vid channel “The Infographics Show”

@@zeitgeistx5239 I might be wrong on the name of the originally targeted city's name, as she told me this years ago. But her parents were definitely in the originally targeted city and we're spared because cloud cover necessitated a target location change. According to what she said her parents told her. She, btw, ended up being raised in both Japan and the United States because of her father's profession.

Is it a friendship? Oh.

@@dotmarceo Good question bro. Friendship with the US is always fatal.

Same. I was working in a Japanese company in America and at least once a day I couldn't help but find myself thinking about how amazing it is to be in such a good place with each other, considering the past..

You should read what the Japanese did to Asia in the 40's. Hiroshima is peanuts in comparison.

oh I know Japanese were naughty naughty love em more for it there history makes them interesting got a nuke dropped on em then they have 1 of the largest nuclear power plants in the world anime cars food samurai very resilient

I'm not sure if any survivor has written a book but if you have a chance you should visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. It has pictures of the survivors after the bomb. It shows shadows of people etched onto concrete and other horrific scenes. If you have a weak stomach, I suggest you skip the museum, but it will show you the horrors of a atom bomb.

I know this is 4 weeks old but I want to point out some things: 1-Japan still had the power to fight a few more years. 2-An American invasion of the mainland would've killed more people. 3-Hiroshima and Nagasaki were actually strategic points. They had many army and naval bases. 4-Before dropping the nukes, America made peace talks with Japan and told them to surrender but they didn't. After the first nuke was dropped, again, same thing and Japan refused. 5-Japan shouldn't have attacked Pearl Harbor. 6-If you feel bad about Japan you should check the "Nanjing Massacre", maybe that will change your mind. Idk why US should apologize, it was a war that was started by Japan, actually Japan started this whole s**t in the Pacific with the Invasion of Manchuria and Marco Polo Bridge Incident (even though Japan was a League of Nations member). I would really like to hear your opinion about what should have US done better because I can't see any other way of "less people beging killed" and something that is "justified". Also I don't want to hear something mentioning "Appeasement policy" because it was proved before WW2 that in most cases it doesn't work and that sometimes war is necessary. I really can't think of a better way US could have won against Japan... Also I'm not American☺☺☺

Hope you got your answer.☺

Earlier I posted a story of my mother's family surviving the atom bomb. Because my grandfather was Japanese American, they all had dual citizenship. My uncle who stayed in Japan, later reluctantly gave up his US citizenship so that he could receive survivor benefits from the japanese government. He did not blame the US, but as he got older, he worried about his health and the possible side effects of radiation.

@@chochosan1981Interesting story but wait how was dual citizenship granted back then?

According to my mother, dual citizenship was allowed in the 1920s. I'm not sure when it discontinued, but she told me my uncle gave up his US citizenship. That's also why she had no problem when she emigrated to Hawaii. Also I saw a Japanese show in the 1980s where a biracial girl had dual citizenship ( Japan and US ) but stated she had to pick one only when she turned 23 years old.

The Japanese definitely deserved it.

Just read some articles about Nanjing massacre so that you will see how her feeling, why she said like that 😢

I'm Indonesian and I feel her.

No mention either with Koreans.

Are the Japanese and Chinese friends after that? They should be.

@@dotmarceo of course we are friends. Especially Taiwan and Japan. But history should not be erased in the textbook.

Don't forget Indonesia and the other Asean countries too 😅 But the Nanjing massacre was indeed the most brutal of all.

They were exported.

@@genefoster8601 Ah. Thank you.

They already know. A lot of them haven't apologized for their crimes (older gens). Shinzo Abe literally downplayed Japan's role in invading those countries.

They won't it's all about the money now.
