Taro Nakayama, Minister for Foreign Affairs / LDP
Regarding this single tragedy—that people, not of their own will but by the will of the Japanese government at the time, were forcibly relocated to Sakhalin(?) and forced into labor, and because of the end of the war, they could not return to their homeland(?) early on and had no choice but to remain and live in the local area—Japan truly feels sincere regret toward these people.

Emperor Akihito
The Korean Peninsula and our country have, from ancient times, engaged in close exchanges as the closest neighbors. Even during the Edo period when our country practiced isolationism, our country constantly welcomed envoys from your country and welcomed them throughout the court and the public. However, looking back at this long and rich history of exchange between the Korean Peninsula and our country, I am reminded of Emperor Showa's words: 'It is truly regrettable that there was an unfortunate past between the two countries at one point in this century, and it must never be repeated.' When I think of the suffering that the people of your country experienced during that unfortunate period caused by Japan, I cannot help but feel pain and deep sorrow (a sense of regret). #Speech at the Imperial Palace Banquet commemorating the Korean leader's visit to Japan

Toshiki Kaifu, Prime Minister / LDP
On this occasion of welcoming Your Excellency, I would like to humbly reflect on the fact that, at one point in the past, the people of the Korean Peninsula experienced unbearable suffering and sorrow due to the actions of our country, and I wish to express my sincere apologies.

Kiichi Miyazawa, Prime Minister / LDP
We, the people of Japan, must, above all else, remember and not forget to reflect on the fact that, at one point in the past, the people of your country experienced unbearable suffering and sorrow due to the actions of our country (Japan). As Prime Minister, I would like to once again express my reflection and apologies to the people of your country.

Kiichi Miyazawa, Prime Minister / LDP
What we must not forget in the relationship between our country and your country is the fact that, amidst thousands of years of exchange, there was a period in history when our country was the aggressor and your country was the victim.
Regarding the fact that the people of the Korean Peninsula experienced unbearable suffering and sorrow due to the actions of our country during this period, I express once again here my sincere intention to reflect and my apologies. Recently, the so-called 'comfort women' issue has been addressed, and I find such matters truly heartbreaking and feel truly sorry.

Koichi Kato, Chief Cabinet Secretary / LDP
As a government, regardless of nationality or place of origin, we wish to once again express our sincere apologies and reflections toward all those who suffered indescribable pain as so-called 'comfort women.'
Furthermore, standing under deep reflection and determination that such mistakes must never be repeated, we wish to maintain our position as a peace-loving nation while simultaneously striving to build new Japan-Korea relations and relations with other Asian countries and regions toward the future.

Yohei Kono, Chief Cabinet Secretary / LDP
The Kono Statement
This matter is one that, under the involvement of the military at the time, deeply wounded the honor and dignity of many women. On this occasion, the government wishes to once again express its sincere apologies and reflections toward all those who experienced countless sufferings as so-called 'comfort women' (?Military Comfort Women), regardless of their place of origin, and who suffered wounds to their bodies and minds that are difficult to heal.

Morihiro Hosokawa, Prime Minister / Japan New Party
We believe it is very important to take this opportunity to clarify our reflection on past history and our new determination to the world. First, I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my deep reflection and apologies for the fact that our country's past acts of aggression (?) and colonial rule (?) brought unbearable suffering and sorrow to many people.

Morihiro Hosokawa, Prime Minister / Japan New Party
The reason I used the expression 'acts of aggression' was to honestly state the same perception that our country's past actions brought unbearable suffering and sorrow to many people, and to express my deep reflection and apologies once again.

Tomiichi Murayama, Prime Minister / Socialist Party
The actions our country took at one point in the past not only caused much sacrifice for our people but also left scars that are difficult to heal even today for the people of neighboring countries in Asia. I hold a deep sense of reflection regarding the fact that our country's acts of aggression (?) and colonial rule (?) brought unbearable suffering and sorrow to many people, and I believe that the path Japan must walk from now on is to devote itself to the creation of world peace under the determination not to go to war. Our country must face the history related to neighboring countries in Asia. For the people of Japan and the people of neighboring countries to join hands and cooperate to open the future of the Asia-Pacific, an immovable foundation of mutual understanding and mutual trust built by overcoming each other's pain is indispensable.
(Omitted) The so-called 'comfort women' (?Military Comfort Women) issue is a matter that deeply wounded the honor and dignity of women, and on this occasion, I wish to once again express my sincere and deep reflection and apologies. I believe that for our country to face the past history, including these issues, and to pass it on correctly to future generations while simultaneously striving to further promote mutual understanding with the relevant countries, will serve as an expression of our country's apology and reflection.

Tomiichi Murayama, Prime Minister / Socialist Party
Opening Remarks for the Launch of the 'Asian Women's Fund' (Comfort Women Apology and Compensation Project)
The so-called 'comfort women' (?Military Comfort Women) issue is one of them. This issue, involving the former Japanese military (?Japanese Army), deeply wounded the honor and dignity of many women and is absolutely unforgivable. I wish to express my sincere apologies to all those who suffered wounds to their bodies and minds that are difficult to heal as comfort women.

Murayama Statement
At one point in the not-too-distant past, our country mismanaged its national policies, walked the path to war, and put its people in a crisis of existence, and through colonial rule (?) and aggression (?), caused great damage and suffering to many countries, especially the people of various Asian countries. In order to ensure there are no mistakes in the future, I humbly accept these indisputable historical facts, express my deep reflection once again here, and express my sincere apologies. Furthermore, I offer my deepest condolences to all the victims, both domestic and foreign, caused by this history. Today, marking the 50th anniversary of the day of defeat, our country must stand upon deep reflection, exclude selfish nationalism, promote international cooperation as a responsible member of the international community, and through that, widely spread the ideals of peace and democracy.

Ryutaro Hashimoto, Prime Minister / LDP
For example, things like changing names (Soshi Kaimei). We were completely unaware of this through school education, but it is unimaginable how much such things wounded the people of neighboring countries. Also, regarding the mention of the 'comfort women' (?Military Comfort Women) issue just now, I believe there is no issue that has defamed the honor and dignity of women as much as this one. I wish to express my sincere apologies and reflections.

Ryutaro Hashimoto, Prime Minister / LDP
I am confident that our country is learning the lessons of history and that the perspective of 'not forgetting the past and using it as a lesson for the future' is becoming widely established among the people. I myself hold the same views as the former Prime Minister Murayama's 'Prime Minister Statement' announced the year before last, which stated: 'Through colonial rule and aggression, many countries, especially the people of various Asian countries, were caused great damage and suffering,' and 'humbly accepting the historical facts, expressing deep reflection once again, and expressing sincere apologies.'

Emperor Akihito
While there is a history of such close exchange, there was also a period when our country brought great suffering to the people of the Korean Peninsula. The deep sadness regarding that is always in my memory.

Keizo Obuchi, Prime Minister / LDP
■ Japan-Korea Joint Declaration: A New Partnership for the 21st Century
The two leaders reached a consensus that in order for Japan and Korea to build a firm relationship of good neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation in the 21st century, it is important for both countries to face the past and develop a relationship based on mutual understanding and trust. Prime Minister Obuchi (小??理大臣), reflecting on the Japan-Korea relations of this century, humbly accepted the historical fact that our country caused great damage and suffering to the Korean people through colonial rule (?) in the past, and expressed deep reflection and heartfelt apologies for this.
President Kim Dae-jung took this expression of historical awareness by Prime Minister Obuchi seriously and evaluated it, while also expressing the view that it is the demand of the times for both countries to work together to overcome the unfortunate history of the past and develop a future-oriented relationship based on reconciliation and good neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation.
