That's a question that's impossible to answer without generalizing, but I think can say rather confidently that the vast majority of Japanese have absolutely nothing against the British. Rather, I think they're neutral, being on the whole neither enthralled or repulsed. I met many Japanese who had been or would love to go to London, and several more that were dating UK citizens. As far as I know, England suffers from no negative reputation over here. If anything, among Japanese youths, it's kind of hip to be from England.
The Japanese overwhelmed British forces by attacking the jungle side of Singapore which was the least defended since the British had expected a full scale naval frontal assault by the Japanese .

The British did not suspect that the Japanese would attack Singapore and the maps were not updated, which made the British think that the only way the Japanese could get to Singapore was through the forests or by sea, but the Japanese took the highway riding on bicycles and brought tanks. The Japanese were also more well trained and the British failed to prepare for the attack. They also caught the British off guard using a fake attack north-east and started the real attack north-west. They were powerful and sandwiched the British troops, took control of reservoirs, cutting of water supplies for the British
British Association for Japanese studies was created in 1974.
I don't think anybody knows for sure. But the British may have been first.

The fall of Singapore could have been prevented in many ways, but in my opinion if the British had not been so complacent they may have been able to prevent Singapore from falling to the Japanese. Many of the British soldiers took the Japanese lightly. They did not think that they would be able to capture Singapore as they regarded it as an impregnable fortress. In addition, it could have also been prevented if the British had more and better aircrafts. The British only had 158 aircrafts. which were already obsolete, when the Japanese started their invasion. By contrast, the Japanese severely outnumbered them and had more advanced fighter planes. This caused the British to easily lose control of the skies, helping the Japanese.
"To think" is 'omou' in Japanese.
Nope it's British.
No, the British Rail Class 395s are not only the Japanese trains running in Britain.
The Japanese entered Singapore via the Causeway from Malaysia. This caught the British off-guard as the British always prepared for a war from the seas.
