[00:02:12]>> In 2016, when Prime Minister Abe and Akie were visiting, they folded cranes and they donated them to us. We put a replica of the crane on exhibit so that we could preserve the original, and we bring it out twice a year.

[00:02:30]Once in on August 6th and once on December 7th.

[00:02:34]We have been working with the Sasaki family.

[00:02:58]But they have a new replica, and so I'm going to ask Masahiro to place the new crane What kind of iPhone is that? Oh, yeah.

[00:03:56]>> Thank you.

[00:03:56]>> Thank [laughter] you.

[00:03:59]Thank you.

[00:03:59]>> Thank you.

[00:04:35]>> Through this symbolic extinguishing of the flame and the signing of this oath, we collectively renew our commitment to peace, hope, and a shared trust in each other in the years to come.

[00:05:33]>> Good afternoon, everybody. We are very honored to be here. I bring my bell. This Listen to the bell for a while. I ring the bell every morning for peace.

[00:05:48]>> [bell] >> Thank you very much.

[00:06:22]I also bring my husband's picture.

[00:06:25]84 years and 168 days have passed since that day.

[00:06:36]Today, I stand here with a calm and quiet mind.

[00:06:43]I offer my deepest prayers and respect to all those who lost their lives.

[00:06:51]In my mind, I have come here together with my husband, Abishinzo.

[00:06:59]I have brought two paper cranes with me.

[00:07:04]Uh one was folded by my husband.

[00:07:08]The other by me.

[00:07:10]I'd like to place them together with the cranes in memory of Sadako I am deeply moved to be here today. I'm here with the family members of Sadako I'm here with Mr. Clifton Truman Daniel, uh grandson of President Harry Truman.

[00:07:37]I'm also here with Mr. Tojo, Hidetoshi, a great of Prime Minister Tojo Hideki.

[00:07:47]This is a moment of deep meaning for me.

[00:07:51]America and Japan come a long way after a long and painful journey.

[00:07:58]Our two countries have reached a beautiful peace and friendship here at Pearl Harbor. I wish to say this with the deepest respect.

[00:08:12]I wish to say it to the spirits of all those who lost their lives here and across the Pacific on both sides.

[00:08:26]May they rest in peace. Thank you very much.

[00:08:34]>> We spent a week or two just listening to survivors, listening to the stories.

[00:08:41]All of them came to us with only one wish. It wasn't for recrimination, it wasn't for revenge.

[00:08:47]It was just simply to help them tell those stories in the hope that we never do that to each other again in any way, shape or form.

[00:08:56]We are all doing this together. It takes courage to make these gestures and I thank all of you deserve thanks for being here.

[00:09:05]For paying attention to this or hopefully taking the message home and seeing how much of a positive impact it can make.

[00:09:12]>> Today we have a gathered here to bear witness to a new chapter in history.

[00:09:22]Why do people fight?

[00:09:25]Even now, 81 years after the World War II ended, we still cannot find the answer.

[00:09:34]>> Today, here we welcome the peace The last embers of the atomic bomb that have continued to burn at the peace tower, Yame City, Fukuoka, Japan.

[00:09:46]This flame is quietly, but yet surely continued to speak of the sorrow of the countless lives lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the destructive reality that humanity has reached.

[00:09:58]In December 1941, the Pacific War began here at Pearl Harbor, resulting in the loss of countless irreplaceable lives.

[00:10:07]Afterward, a deep sorrow and hatred spread throughout Japan, the United States, and the entire world.

[00:10:15]We have different historical perspectives, different viewpoints, and different ways of thinking.

[00:10:22]However, there is no doubt that this war deprived people of their dignity and left scars on their hearts that may last for generations.

[00:10:32]We have not gathered here today to deny the past, nor to assert the correctness of one side or the other.

[00:10:40]We stand here not to let hatred end in hatred, nor to let sorrow lead to further sorrow, but to pass the light of hope to the future.

[00:10:51]We hereby declare an end to the war remaining inside us.

[00:10:55]We declare the end of the war in our hearts.

[00:11:00]We hope this oath will serve as a foundation for a renewed trust between Japan and the United States, and as a new light of hope for the future in a world still facing difficult challenges.

[00:11:14]Now, together, we will put out this flame, hoping that the hatred and sorrow that reside in this flame will transform into a compassionate heart.

[00:11:25]Now, we solemnly and firmly pledge for the future of humanity to overcome the differences in our perceptions and beliefs and to continue moving forward together.

[00:11:41]>> [music] >> Well, Aki I I just for being here. How wonderful that she comes and and does the exhibit. Look you're watching. I hope that uh I hope that this brings us closer together in the relationship between the Japan and the United States.

[00:12:08]>> What do you think about what's going on in the world right now?

[00:12:12]>> As far as me >> Oh, some mornings I just don't want to get out of bed, do I? It's It's hard.

[00:12:17]But we keep we keep doing this. Human beings keep making the same mistakes over and over. And start wars and come after each other.

[00:12:25]It's part of being human, sadly.

[00:12:27]>> A lot of people have commented getting depressed because of what's going on, like like who can we trust, you know? We want to know, but we don't want to know because it's depressing.

[00:12:37]>> Yeah.

[00:12:37]>> If you have a message for those people >> I would say watch just enough news so that you know what's going on and do what you can to make things better.

[00:12:46]Whatever your talent is, whatever you have time for.

[00:12:49]>> Yeah.

[00:12:50]>> As Sasaki's make gestures.
