八月九日(hachigatsu kokonoka) : August 9

It's been 65 years since the Atomic Bomb called Fat Man was detonated over Nagasaki (長崎). There was a memorial ceremony and about 6,000 people attended including the representatives from 32 countries. 15 among them were the first comers. There were representatives from the nuclear powers, U.K. and France, and Israel which is considered to have nuclear weapons. But there was not the one from the United States though he attended in Hiroshima on August 6.
The total death number by this bomb reached 152,276 by now.
At 11:02 AM when the bomb was dropped, the participants offered a one-minute silent prayer to mourn the victims and wish for world peace.
I wish the World Peace too.
