August 6th is the day when an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima for the first time in human history. However, most Japanese people are not even aware of this special day and few people claim or do anything on this day. I'm sorry but I am not the exception. The anniversary event held in Hiroshima seems to be a formality. Sure, insisting to blame for the old thing is not creative, but the bomb must not be such a small thing which can be forgotten only in 60 years. The United States should apologize us about the holocaust and we should do the same thing about the Pearl Harbor. I think it is a good idea that the U.S. President visit Hiroshima while Japanese Prime Minister visit the Pearl Harbor. If we harmed someone we naturally have to apologize. It is the basic rule for good friendship between people. As nations consist of such people, the same rule should stand right. The current relationship between the U.S. and Japan is sometimes called "alliance" which is very weird.
