The remains of Shimazaki...
1:39:17
radio operator
for theJapanese Army...
1:39:23
come gloriously back to his
aboriginal Taiwanese village.
1:39:30
With his precious and limited life...
1:39:35
he fought for the prosperity...
1:39:38
of the Imperial Empire
and world peace.
1:39:42
His death is like the falling
of cherry blossoms in the morning sun.
1:39:48
A valued citizen
of theJapanese Empire...
1:39:55
in death he is a Japanese spirit.
1:39:58
The name of Shimazaki lives with
the glory of theJapanese Empire...
1:40:03
forever and ever.
1:40:33
Shimazaki...
1:40:34
we have received orders to cut
the American communication lines...
1:40:38
on the New Guinean mountaintop.
1:40:41
This is a very dangerous mission.
1:40:43
Shimazaki, are you afraid?
1:40:45
How could I be afraid
of such a glorious mission?
1:40:48
Taiwan is now a part ofJapan.
1:40:50
We are citizens of
the greatJapanese Empire.
1:40:53
To ensure victory
for the Imperial forces...
1:40:56
even if I sacrifice,
I die as a Japanese spirit.
1:40:59
It is such a joy,
how could I be afraid?
