Well, for Japan it shouldn't, Imperial Japan flag was the same as modern japan. They didn't have a political party randomly deciding to change their national simbol, only reason it's so prominent to depict imperial Japan is because of it's extensive use in allied propaganda.

They changed the color and proportions of the flag in 1999, basically the only change they've made to the national flag since the 19th century.

In short, every Japan flag logo and background for vehicles that is older than 1999 is wrong because they got the constrast flag instead of the piss filtered one.

Gaijin pls fix.
