Abstract

History is a reconstruction of the past; which is reconstructing whatever has been thought; done; said; felt; and experienced by someone. The period of Japanese occupation from 1942-1945 gave various impacts both positive and negative impacts on the Minahasa community. The positive impact is from the aspect of education; the opening of the Japanese-language public school (SR) is also taught Japanese singing without distinguishing the social strata of the Minahasa community. In the learning process; Japanese songs are also taught which have a place in the hearts of the Minahasa people; even though the songs at that time had a certain purpose from the authorities. Reconstruction of the past is not in the interests of the past itself but in the interests of the present even in the future. Teaching Japanese songs during the occupation has given a positive value to the teaching of Foreign Languages; especially Japanese; about the survival of language in memory. From the aspect of character building; Japan strives to do positive things that are transmitted to the Minahasa community; for example; matters relating to mental and behavioral problems such as the community has a strong will to achieve goals; saving movements and learning to save; determination ; never giving up; not easily wavering and discouraged; high discipline; diligent and having a high willingness to work; being very concerned about cleanliness; and having loyalty to the nation and its leadership while singing. From a cultural aspect; Japan established a cultural center named Keimin Bunka Shidosho in Jakarta on April 1; 1943; and through this cultural center; the Japanese government instilled and disseminated Japanese cultural arts including singing and dancing.
