In December of 1944, a 22-year old Japanese intelligence officer named Hiroo Onoda was sent to Lubang Island, in the Philippines. A couple months later, the island was overrun and Onoda, and three other soldiers escaped into the jungle. where they fought a guerilla war that didn't end until 1974. When Onoda emerged from the jungle, the war he had been fighting had been over for *29* years. This is his story, and his song.
