Osaka revoked their sister city status with San Francisco when SF refused to remove their comfort women memorial statue, Japan *really* wants their history swept under a rug.

The office’s push for the statue’s removal comes amid widespread pressure from Japan to remove the statue, with even the Japanese prime minister calling for it to be removed.
