File:Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War.ogg
Stunning moment of Japanese history; indeed of world history. The last major act of Imperial Japan, and the end of World War II. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Nominate and support. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support—Definitely an historic moment that was recorded. The quality isn't the greatest, but I assume that given the circumstances, no better recording can be found. I'll leave it to others to judge the description page, but I'm satisfied that this meets the criteria.  Imzadi  1979   →   19:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support obvious historical value and importance transcending the inevitable quality issues. BencherliteTalk 22:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment—Is the translation available at en.WP or an external link? Also, what does the first half here mean? "The Empire of Japan (scripter), Emperor Hirohito of Japan (speaker)". Tony   (talk)  13:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe that's just a funny way of saying that Hirohito had speechwriters, the exact identities of whom are unknown. A translation of the speech is found at Gyokuon-hōsō. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:12, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
