A group of Japanese citizens held a rally in front of the National Diet in Tokyo on Thursday, to voice their opposition to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's push to expand the military and revise the country's pacifist constitution. 

Protesters said Japan's past wars of aggression are an indisputable fact and the government must face up to history rather than evade responsibility, adding that the Japanese society must seriously reflect on the invasion of China and other parts of Asia in the last century. 

They criticized Takaichi for claiming that she belongs to a "new generation" that bears no responsibility for Japan's actions during World War II. 

"Japan once committed the error of invading China and other countries in Southeast Asia. It's beyond doubt that Japan launched aggression and it should never be forgotten. Those who inflicted harm on others must never forget what they themselves did. Takaichi said she belongs to a new generation and bears no responsibility for World War II and it has nothing to do with her. I think that argument is wrong. We are the descendants of those who once waged aggression, and we must keep that history in mind and face it squarely," said one protester. 

"The problem is that Japan never truly accepted its wartime responsibilities from the beginning. It has muddled through with vague wording all the way to today, and that is exactly why people like her have emerged. To put it bluntly, Takaichi should have offered a formal apology to China last year. Not only did she fail to do so, she has been moving in the completely opposite direction," said another protester at the rally. 

Some held placards urging Takaichi not to destroy Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan, which renounces war and bans Japan from building the capacity to wage war. 

"As prime minister, Takaichi has given almost no serious thought to what Japan once did, what kind of war it waged, and how it should reflect on that history. I think that is shameful in the eyes of the world. I am holding this placard reading 'Do not destroy Article 9. Let Article 9 truly function.' That is almost my last wish, because Article 9 has already been eroded so badly. That is why I sincerely hope Takaichi will resign. She is no longer fit to serve as prime minister," said a protester. 

Japan's Defense Ministry plans to request a record-high budget of about 8.9 trillion yen (around 56 billion U.S. dollars) for fiscal 2027, Japanese media reported recently, a number which could rise even further when finalized. 

A large portion of the proposed funds is expected to be used to acquire offensive weapons and develop "new forms of warfare." 

"I do not use the word defense budget. I call it a military budget. I think this massive increase in the military budget is a very serious matter, because essentially it is preparation for war. That is precisely why I have been protesting in front of the Diet building for a long time," said another rally participant. 

"I hope that Japan will not head towards war. I absolutely do not want war to happen. I firmly oppose the rise in the military budget. Rather than spending money on such things, Japan is suffering disasters in many places right now that need reconstruction and assistance. Those should be the priority. The current approach puts the cart before the horse," said a protester. 

"In my view, much of Japan's military budget already meets the standard of a 'military buildup.' I cannot accept that. What I fear most is that it becomes the trigger for conflict and may even lead to war. Article 9 of the Constitution must never be changed," said another protester.

　3日、日本の国会議事堂前に市民らが集い、高市早苗首相が進める軍備拡大や憲法改定などの動きに反対する集会を開いた。 

　参加者らは「日本の過去の侵略戦争は明白な事実だ。政府が歴史と向き合い、責任を回避すべきではない」と訴え、中国やアジア諸国への侵略を深く反省するよう求めた。 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「絶対に日本が間違った考え方で、中国や他の東南アジアの国に進出、いわゆるね、侵略していったことは間違いないんだから。それを忘れてはいけない。それで、いじめていろんな害を与えたほうの人間は、忘れちゃいけない、絶対。高市さんは、自分は新しい世代だから、第二次世界大戦の時のことは責任もないし何もないと言うけど、それは違うんだ。侵略していった人たちの子孫が僕らなんだから、やっぱり、それはしっかりつかまえとかなきゃならないと、こう思ってます」 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「元の戦争責任をちゃんと取らなかったところから、なあなあなあに来たので、そういう人たちが育ってしまったんだと思うんですけど。はっきりね、去年の段階で高市さんはちゃんと中国に謝るべきだったんですよね。それをしないで、どんどん違う方向に歩く」 

　集会では、参加者は「憲法9条を壊すな」と記したプラカードを掲げ、戦争放棄を定めた9条を破壊しないよう強く訴えた。特に「高市首相は反省がない」と述べ、即時辞任を求める声も聞かれた。 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「日本が何をしたかとか、どういう戦争をしたかとかいうことの反省が、歴史的な反省が、全然、国の首相としては考えていない。そのことが恥ずかしい。世界に対して恥ずかしい。僕はこれ、『9条壊すな！活かせ！』、もう最後の最後の願いですね、今までこれね、めちゃくちゃにされてしまったから、とにかく、高市さんにやめてほしい。総理大臣の資格はない」 

　日本防衛省は8月31日、2027年度予算の概算要求として過去最大となる8兆8908億円を計上したと発表した。要求段階で具体的な金額を示さない「事項要求」が多く、最終的な予算額はさらに膨らむ見通しだ。無人機や人工知能（AI）などを活用した「新しい戦い方」への対応や、「持続的な対応能力」の向上などに充てられる方針だという。 

　参加者たちは「戦争の準備をしている」「被災地の復興を優先すべきだ」「憲法9条を変えるのは絶対ダメ」などと、強い反対と危機感を示している。 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「まず言葉遣いですけど、僕は防衛費とは言いません、軍事費ですね。軍事費増大はすさまじい話だと思います。戦争のための準備をしているので。っていうか、その反対をするために、国会の前に入り浸ってる人間ですから」 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「日本が戦争に向かわないために、戦争は絶対嫌なので。もちろん大反対です。そんなことに使うぐらいだったら、今もあちこちで被災している場所へたくさんあるんですね、そういうところを手当てすることが先決です。優先順位を間違ってます」 

　＜集会参加者＞ 
　「やってますけど、軍拡としか思えないのが多くて、それが嫌で、火種になり得るのが嫌で、戦争しかねない。まず9条を変えるのは絶対にダメ」
