08 m 16 s / color / sound / NTSC

The images of the cherry blossoms are beautiful and dazzling to most of the people.

On the other hand, it always has the image of "Death" in Japanese minds.

During the World War II, there was the Japanese battle plane named “Ohka” which meant petals of the cherry blossoms.

The battle plane just carried the bomb for attack enemy ships.

In the so-called Kamikaze which was known as the suicide battle plane.

Many young pilots had joined to the suicide attack units.

I just have the big hope the world has continuously peaceful such as younger generation are able to speak up their own silly little worries.

I want to live aspiring for the peaceful Asia.
