“عند نهاية كلامه، رفع فتى يده وسأل:"سيد ساسكي، أي بلد ألقى القنبلة الذريّة؟"
لم يكن يتوقع سؤالاً بسيطًا إلى ذلك الحد ويمكن الإجابة عنه بكلمة واحده.أجاب ماساهيرو:"مضت أكثر من ستين سنة على إلقاء القنبلتين. جعل الله الجميع سواسية. لهذا نسيت من ألقى القنبلة".
نظر الجمهور، بمن فيهم ضابط شرطة كان يقف قريبًا، إليه بذهول وصمت. أومأ الفتى ، الذي كان يبدو في الحادية عشرة من عمره، متفهّمًا ورفع إبهامه لماساهيرو.”

“وقد قالت كايانو لمؤرخين:"أتذكر أشياء عندما كنت صغيرة، لكن معظمها سيء. اندلعت الحرب في السنة التي ولدت فيها. في أثناء طفولتي، كانت هناك غارات جوية طوال الوقت. كانت رهيبة، لكن بأي حال، كانت لدي أمي، لهذا كان الوقت لطيفًا، وأشعر بسعادة كبيرة. رأيت القنبلة الذرية، وكنت في الرابعة آنذاك. كانت القنبلة الذرية آخر شيء وقع في أثناء الحرب، ولم تحدث أشياء سيئة أخرى بعدها، لكن ليس لدي أم منذ ذلك الوقت. لهذا، حتى إذا لم يعد الوضع سيئًا، إلا أنني لست سعيدة".”
