At dawn, on 6 August 2006, many ethnic nationalities and democracy activists from Burma now living in Japan held a commemoration tribute for the 8888 event by putting their respective flags at the peak of Mount Fuji, saluting all those who have sacrificed their lives.

Also honoured were those who are making sacrifices in different ways to achieve freedom in the country and praying for those political activists - Khun Htun Oo, Aung San Suu Kyi and all the other political prisoners still under detention, to be released soon, and for peace and freedom to prevail in the Union of Myanmar.
