7. Maruyama Uhm and one of them, a rode friend, exchanged more than 10 Japanese students in the foreign language building of JDA. "Open and honest, all questions can be asked." This is the opening white of the Yan Mountain.
students: what do Japanese people think of the Andouble administration? In particular, the new security law has been adopted in the near future.

Ogawa Kenji: I worked in Guam in the United States when I was young. In the Second World War, Guam used to be an important air force base in Japan. The aircraft took off from here and dropped bombs on many countries. But when I was working, it became very auspicious. Then I thought, why war? War is absolutely unnecessary. How do we deal with those who died in war? Guam was once such a terrible military base, but after the war, it was very beautiful. From this point of view, what is the significance of war?
when I went to Iran, I caught up with the Iran Iraq war. In the end, the two countries did not get any benefit from the war. These experiences, I am a Japanese, but I want to be a good person first.
