Agree 100%. The Japanese have NEVER been fully held to account for their war crimes.
One particular horrific account I read was the diary of a Japanese torturer who described the "doctors" tying a naked Chinese victim to a bed spring so that the victim was upright. He described how the man sobbed, but then became resigned to his fate before the "doctors" sliced him open from chest to groin with a scalpel.
I lived in Germany for several years, and it is the complete opposite there. The Germans sometimes even go a bit overboard by beating the drum of their own dark past. The German public service television station ZDF used to have a program about German war crimes, atrocities, and Holocaust on television about every two to three days.
In German public school, entire curriculum are devoted to the subject.
Interestingly, when the movie "Unbroken" came out several years ago, it was perhaps the first time that many Japanese young people were given a small window into the nation's war past. The movie mainly concentrated on the cruelty of one guard, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, who was a twisted sadist who delighted in torturing prisoners, especially Louie Zamperini because of his Olympic past and fame.
Japanese youth paid attention because the actor who played the guard (Miyavi) is literally one of the biggest rock stars in Japan.

But he was only one guard, and the story is much bigger. The horrors of the Bataan Death March itself could be a miniseries.
