Please make Yasukuni a shrine that reflects on the war of aggression and apologizes to each country.「英霊」「勲章」は拒否します。戦争で日本軍は大変悪いことをした。私たちに殺された中国人遺族の皆様に申訳ない"Heroic Spirits" and "Medals" are rejected. The Japanese army did very bad things in the war. We feel sorry for all the Chinese bereaved families killed by us.「聖戦」ではなく侵略であります。天皇陛下も侵略を各国にお詫びして下さい。お詫びは恥ではなく、日本の良心ですIt is not a "holy war" but an invasion. His Majesty the Emperor should also apologize to each country for the aggression. Apology is not shame, it is Japan's conscience. 日本はかつてのドイツにならぬよう、２度と武器を持たないで下さい。国民党蒋介石軍の戦犯処刑の実体を帰国者から知って下さいDon't let Japan become the Germany it used to be, and never take up arms again. Please know from the returnees the reality of the execution of war criminals by the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek army. 岡村寧次総司令官などの戦争責任者や、石井細菌戦部隊こそ厳重に処罰して下さいPlease severely punish those responsible for the war, such as Commander-in-Chief Yasuji Okamura, and Ishii's germ warfare unit. 吾身をつねり、殺される立場になって、その痛さを知りましたWe felt the pain when we were in the position of being killed by pinching ourself. 朝鮮民族の伊藤博文に対する憎しみも日本に対する怒りもわかりました。祖国日本の平和と良心は民族の反省なくしては得られませんWe understood the hatred of the Korean people towards Hirobumi Ito and their anger towards Japan. The peace and conscience of Japan, the motherland, cannot be obtained without the self-reflection of the nation. 私達は日本軍の罪を背負って銃殺されて行きますWe will be shot dead for the crimes of the Japanese army」
