May 5th, 1941

I got up in the morning, and saw my mother (Reece) preparing a breakfast. When I came to a kitchen, I saw my mother not eating her breakfast. Instead, she was watching me eat. I glimpsed at her side of the table, and saw nothing in front of her. It was sad for me to watch that scene. After finishing my breakfast, I left home for a school.

I got to the school, and saw bunch of boys talking about something privately. I joined their conversation and I heard that all of them were volunteering to join the military, because they can get paid for serving as a soldier. Also, another reason why they're joining the military is because our country currently need more soldiers to fight for the invasion on China. Suddenly, I found out that joining the military can actually help my family and my country. On my way back home, I saw so many people sobbing and begging for a money and propaganda on a wall of a store advertising that the country need more soldiers to maintain its strong navy power. It was just sad to watch my native people starving and begging for a money on the middle of the street. I think that the only way to fix this economic condition in our country is to strengthen our military strength so that we can invade other foreign countries easily and gain sufficient amount of resources for people.

When I came back home after school, me and mother were alone eating dinner. My mother was reading a newspaper and told me that U.S. has ceased importing oils to Japan. Now, oil, iron and coal are three essential materials of industry in Japan. Without them, our military is just nothing. I asked her why they did it, and she replied that U.S. is doing this to stop our territorial expansion on East Asia any further. I thought inside my mind that U.S. is doing this, because they're afraid of being threatened. Our country is that powerful to threaten other foreign countries around the world. How proud am I living in this country ! We're overpowering every foreign countries in naval power. With that excitement and satisfaction, I ate my udon and kome so deliciously.

Now, I'm going to go bed...... It would be so awesome to see Japan as most powerful nation in the world. I'm pretty sure everybody in our country want that also.

December 7th, 1941

It was early in the morning. I heard this siren ringing so loud outside that everybody got out of their house with curious faces. So did me and my mother, and we saw a fleet of planes flying in the sky. I had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, a woman ran down the street and cried out loud, "Another war is going to happen. Our country is sending forces to Pearl Harbor to revenge on U.S.! They're declaring a war against U.S. army! Oh! my Buddha! Save me from this chaos!" Then, she ran back in to her house with a sob. My mother sighed and walked back inside. I knew that she was worrying about what will happen to our country in the future, and my sister who is in Hiroshima alone.

Today, I have no school today, because it's Sunday. When I stepped outside to bring in dirty clothes to wash, I saw a letter in the mailbox. Keisuke (Han Baik), one of my friend**,** has sent me a letter. I was so excited to read the letter, because I haven't seen him for years. He used to be so nice and friendly to me, but I don't know how he is right now......

Dear Keiki,

Keiki, how are you doing in Tokyo ? I hope school's not tough for you these days. Anyway, I'm just writing this letter to tell you that our country is having tough time fighting in China. Soldiers are dying and dying these days, and I'm just so busy curing them everyday. Also, we just sparked up a new war with U.S. in Pearl Harbor. We need more soldiers.....We need you, Keiki ! and also your lovely friends ! Keiki, you have to volunteer for the military. You can get paid for serving as a soldier. I know that you and your family need money. Well... I think this is a great chance. Come on, Keiki ! You should be brave enough to risk your life for our country. I guess this is all I have to say. I miss you.....

- Keisuke Furuya

After reading this letter, I felt into a dilemma whether should I leave my mother or go serve in military to gain money for my family. I was outside for an hour thinking about the decision.

It's 3 a.m right now..... Now, I have decided what I'm going to do. Instead of studying in school, I'm going to go military and serve as a proud soldier. I'm going to pack up and leave. Bye to my mother and my friends. I will come back home....

December 27th, 1941

It's been 20 days for me serving as a soldier in the military. Thanks to Buddha that I didn't die yet ! Last week was the first time that I stepped into the battlefield and fought as a real soldier. The battlefield was scary, nasty and cold. It was filled with blood and dead bodies all over the place. While I was staying in the military camp, I got to know some of comrades who were same age as me, but they died 2 days ago. Anyway, I'm still happy that our country won against several foreign colonial powers such as U.S. in Pearl Harbor and China in East Asia. We also gained a lot of essential resources and materials. Now, our country have sufficient amount of food, I'm so glad that my mother won't starve and skip meals everyday. Japan was the strongest country in the whole world for several years, because of the fact that we had the strongest naval power than any other foreign countries and we successfully dominated other foreign countries over territories in East Asia. But I hear that other European colonial powers such USSR will be joining to fight a war against us, and we're currently losing bits of territories in Philippines and almost getting beaten in South-eastern Asia by bombing and guerrilla.

I'm in Hong Kong right now, and being away from my family makes me feel more lonely than ever. Last Thursday was the first time that I saw how Europeans looked like. I never killed a person once during my childhood, but while I was fighting in battle last week, I shot down 100 soldiers. I'm so proud of myself. Today was the day we celebrated for 100 victories that we had until now over several foreign European powers in East Asia territories. In a cafeteria in military camp, I got my lunch and I sat down right next to naval Admiral Yamamoto Irosoku (Emily). We talked for a while, and suddenly he asked me if I wanted to go to a popular town in Hong Kong together. When we got there this afternoon, we found bunch of factory workers doing their job. Admiral Irosoku ordered soldiers to bring some of laborers in factories. Without further ado, me and other soldiers grabbed some of random female workers inside factories, stores and other places and brought them in front of him. Admiral Irosoku then ordered us to tie them together with a rope and carry them to the military camp. So, there am I, tying bunch of female workers together on a single file.

When we finally got to the military camp, admiral Irosoku ordered us to board those laborers on the ship that goes to Tokyo. It was apparent for me to know that those laborers were raped just by looking at their outfit and the way they walked. Whenever they moved so slow, we whipped them brutally. We got into the ship.

Here I am... inside the ship going back home to Tokyo. = =

December 28th, 1941

I woke up and I saw a sunrise through the window. I came out of my room and saw soldiers talking in a hallway. I didn't know what was going on. I went near to them and heard from a soldier saying that U.S. has attacked Philippines islands again. However, that wasn't very shocking news for me and other soldiers, because we will win that battle no matter what. After an hour, we landed on Tokyo.

We got off the ship and took all of those men and women out of the ship. Admiral Irosoku then ordered us to carry female laborers to comfort women station. There were hundreds of women inside that station when I got there. It was outrageous. They all looked pathetic. It was clearly visible that they have been whipped by looking at scars and blood on their body. Then, I saw some of soldiers brutally raping one of those women in front of everyone. One of a soldier who was right next to me picked up a little girl who was short, skinny, and black-haired with innocent eyes (Daniella). He started to punch and kick that little girl brutally. However, that little girl was not crying whatsoever. Then, I realized that this was not her first time getting raped by looking at her reaction. Unexpectedly, I suddenly pushed that soldier to stop what he was doing. When he turned around, he found out that he was not a soldier. He was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto who was the commander-in-chief at the battle in Pearl Harbor. He came up to me with angry face and told me to rape her instead. I had no choice, so I raped her. I'm not a type of person who would use violence, but today I had to considering the fact that I almost got punished by the admiral.

I got back into my tent and I thought about going back to the station or not. I regretted the most about raping that little poor girl today at comfort women station. I felt so sorry for her after raping her. After a long pause, I decided to go back. When I got back there, some of soldiers were carrying dead bodies out of the station. I was fully aware of the fact that those women starved to death. I got inside the station, and I saw that little girl lying on a floor sleeping without any clothes on and blanket. I woke her up and gave her some of food and a blanket to put on. Then, I came back to my room.

Now, I'm going to bed. The war is getting more intense and more soldiers are dying at the battlefield. I hope it ends soon......
