Citat:On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan delivered a radio address announcing the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II.
— This broadcast, known as the Jewel Voice Broadcast (玉音放送, Gyokuon-hōsō), was the first time a Japanese emperor had spoken directly to the common people.
— In his speech, Hirohito stated that Japan had accepted the Potsdam Declaration, which demanded the unconditional surrender of the Japanese military.
— He cited the use of a "new and most cruel bomb" (referring to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) as a reason for the surrender.
