(0:00)A Japanese man who passionately devoted himself to the independence of Indonesia. Mr. Tomokazu Kaneko.
<Tomokazu Kaneko, former member of the 16th Army press crew>
(0:07)After the WWII, The Republic of Indonesia awarded nation's most honorable Nararia medal to Mr. Kaneko for his contribution to its independence.
<Vice President Try Sutrisno>
(0:15)Mr. Kaneko supported vigorous Indonesian youths' independence movement.
(0:22)He offered a site for a youth organization Angkatan Muda's national convention,
<Former Java Campaign Memorial Hall、Bandung>
(0:28)for which he was ordered by the Allies to serve a sentence of one year.
<Former youth independence activists>
(0:35)When we held that Angkatan Muda's convention, then captain general of Bandung district, General Mabuchi
(0:42)was very considerate of the independence movement.
(0:49)As I said just now, we weren't allowed to engage in a political activity then,
(0:57)but all officers and soldiers probably hoped their independence on the inside.
(1:03)So, the general said he'd take the rap, if we were condemned for that.

<Mr. Djamal Ali, president of The Indonesia Times>
(1:10)And he encouraged us to do our best.
(1:15)He thought he should have given us a permission earlier.
(1:20)Right after Japan's loss in the war, the Allies ordered the Japanese Army to crack down on the independence movement.
(1:27)However, many of Japanese soldiers secretly gave Indonesians weapons to support their independence.
(1:35)Mr. Shizuo Miyamoto was one of them.
(1:39)I had to come up with an idea to somehow give Indonesians those weapons.
<Mr. Shizuo Miyamoto, former officer of the 16th Army>
(1:47)Indonesia already had the authority for the police action.
(1:55)So, if the Allies had left the Japanese Army deploying with weapons,
(2:03)they could have been troubled by an inevitable conflict between Japan and Indonesia.
(2:11)So, we disarmed the entire army and pulled them into the mountain.
(2:18)Then, we left only army civilians without a weapon in the town and made them act like "Now get our weapons."
(2:30)I think it's so good that I came up with the best idea.
>>209 3/5
(2:40)They handed about 40,000 rifles and many other weapons and ammunitions over to Indonesia in this way.
(2:50)It's said about 2,000 Japanese soldiers stayed in Indonesia to fight the independence war after Japan's loss in the war.
<The National Heroic Cemetery in Karibata, Jakarta>
(3:00)The former Japanese soldiers worshipping at graves were part of them.
(3:06)A Japanese who sacrificed his life for the independence war has been honored in this cemetery respectfully as the hero of the Indonesian independence.
(3:18)Mr. Sakari Ono who was injured during a battle against the Dutch Army was also one of them.
(3:25)Many Indonesians came to ask for the Japanese Army's support after the war had begun.
<Mr. Sakari Ono, former staff corps member of the 16th Army command center>
(3:35)Then, I was also asked and joined the Indonesian Army.
(3:39)How many soldiers were killed in that war ?
(3:42)About half of us, 1,000 soldiers were killed.
(3:46)As we had to lead the war on the frontline,
(3:51)we were easily found by enemies.
(3:55)So, we eventually suffered many casualties.

(4:00)After the WWII, Asian races having struggled with the colonial rules won the independences by themselves one after another.
(4:13)Here in Malaysia, after the strenuous diplomatic negotiation with the British government that again had occupied here,
(4:19)the nation emerged from colonial rule in 1957 as the monarchist state.
(4:25)Then, Singapore that had been one of the Straits Settlements for many years also emerged from colonial rule two years later, in 1959.
(4:35)In this war, the experience, I think, made us very tougher.
<Mr. Ungku A. Aziz, former vice chancellor of the University of Malaya>
Maybe, as the people don't need that war,
(4:44)for Malay in Malaya of dominated day, it was very important to nurture the generation of people who were resilient, tough, young and wise men.
(4:57)And also Yamato idea, the Japanese army introduced Yamato damashi and tried.
(5:02)Maybe today in Japan, people don't feel the idea is the top spirit.
(5:08)But at that time, in our country it was necessary.
(5:15)This is the psychological impact of war.
(5:19)And because of that we speeded up our country's independence.
(5:23)So we are very thankful to Japan.

(5:40)In this conference, the national self-determination and the anticolonialism were proclaimed loudly.
<Asian-African Conference, 1955>
(5:46)The momentum of independent Asia spread to Africa at once.
(5:54)The Asian-African Conference was held in 1955, after Indonesia had obtained the sovereignty.
<Mr. Alamsyah, former third deputy prime minister, from Peta>
(6:03)All Asia and Africa became conscious of the independence through this conference.
<He filled successively the posts of chief cabinet secretary, ambassador to Holland, religion minister, third deputy prime minister etc.>
(6:14)All countries in Asia and Africa were determined to become independent through this conference.
<Incumbent senior ambassador to Asia and Middle East>
(6:20)Unless the Greater East Asia War had taken place during the WWII, we couldn't have held the Asian-African Conference.
(6:30)So, never could have Asia and Africa become independent.
