Has anyone seen the Japanese version of this?

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2004)

In an editorial titled 'Made for Japan' (dated June 28, 2001), the Los Angeles Times wrote that a sanitized version of "Pearl Harbor" was created for Japan. According to the Times, the Japanese version portrays those in the Japanese government as peace-loving industrialist forced into war by outrageous American economic sanctions.
I contacted the Disney publicity department, which (not surprisingly) denied any changes to the movie other than incidental matters, such as a calendar on FDR's desk showing the date 'December 8th' (the day in Japan when the attack took place).
Maybe someone who has seen the Japanese version of the movie will tell the rest of us whether it was changed in the manner the Times alleged.
