The Nikkei Stock Average has exceeded its highest level during the bubble period.

As a student during the bubble period, I never 'danced in the bubble,' but then I think I was one-sidedly 'kept getting hit by the bubble.'

Of course, the government and securities firms are not the only ones to blame for the bubble economy, but still,

"I get very ticked off when I see news of securities firm employees breaking the decorative paper ball and clapping in their offices."

It would be the opposite.

Isn't today the day that should give us that same solemn feeling we have at noon on the anniversary of the end of the war (August 15) and at the time of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

I would like to see an inscription in the lobbies of securities firms that reads, "We will never repeat our mistake," I would like all employees to join in a "silent prayer" there.

Are there any supporters?

Well, they won't be there.

Incidentally, there is controversy over the inscription on the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims.

By the way, I am of the "I won't let them repeat their mistake" school of thought.
