Looking good !
 
are those japanese marines?

Something like that. They are a newly-created branch, well more like newly 're-instated' military branch. The uniform suggests they are part of the Kaijo Jieitai Rikusentai, or also known as 'Rikusentai'.

Japan has recently re-instated the Rikusentai just this year, training a Division, with the goal of eventually maintaining about 5 divisions. Anyways, the history of Rikusentai. They were once known as 'Kaigun Rikusentai' or "Imperial Navy's Amphibious Landing Invasion Force'. The Rikusentai were the Imperial Navy's elite ground unit, and took part in, ironically, the invasion of the Philippines some 73 years ago.



Nihon Kaigun Rikusentai in 1941,

Yes, Koreans were conscripted into the Imperial Army.

unlike some? :p:

I'm glad that Philippines is a forgiving nation and can look past our past mistakes...
 
War is Terrible, let it be the last war that took place this part of the world.

forgiving? more like forgetting easily, and it have some disadvantages at some point.
