“How about the same time we get an apology for Pearl Harbor
And the Bataan Death March!!”
They attacked us first, therefore they should apologize first. Bunch of sniveling little hypocrites.
The Japanese Ambassador to the United States did so, directly to the U.S. survivors:
Japan Apologizes for Bataan Death March: Ambassador Speaks to Last 73 American Survivors of the March
There's a list of some 50 apologies that the Japanese have made since the Pacific War here.
(That list includes reference to a story that the Emperor had intended to apologize for the war (including explicitly the attack on Pearl) at MacArthur aide: U.S. must learn from errors. I don't believe that there are any other references to this story in any standard work on the war, so I take that particular article with a large grain of salt.)
