FILE - In this June 28, 2005, file photo, Emperor Akihito, right, accompanied by Empress Michiko bow to the infamous Banzai Cliff, or Puntan Sabaneta, in Saipan, to offer prayers for the Japanese soldiers and civilians who jumped off the rocky cliff 60 years ago to avoid being captured by the U.S forces in the bloody World War Two Battle of Saipan. Akihito has visited World War II battle sites, including Okinawa and the Pacific island of Saipan, and prayed for the dead on both sides, repeatedly expressing remorse for Japan's past military aggression.
