Seventy-five years since the end of the war Memorial memorial service for all the war dead Memorial of about 3.1 million war dead, August 15 11:58

On the 15th, 75 years after the end of the war, the government-sponsored national memorial service for the memorial service of about 3.1 million war dead is held at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.

Although representatives of bereaved families from all over the country attended the ceremony, 20 prefectures and prefectures unavoidably abandoned the bereaved family to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.

The number of attendees is about 550, which is less than 10% of last year's, the lowest ever.

His Majesty the Emperor arrived with the empress on the podium decorated with chrysanthemums, and then the national anthem was performed.

To prevent infection, Koshino did not sing, but only played.

And Prime Minister Abe said, "We will never repeat the tragedy of the war. We will continue to carry out this decisive vow. Japan is working with the international community under the banner of active pacifism. I am determined to play a greater role than ever in solving the various challenges facing the world," he said.
