Anti-japanese sentiment not welcomed into music

V disks or "Victory disks" are one thing I had never heard of before attending lecture today. I like the whole concept of artists making special recordings for soldiers to listen to and be motivated by. I can imagine that soldiers getting special records from famous recording artists would really make them feel appreciated. One thing I found interesting was that soldiers and listeners in general at this time did not like the songs depicting the Japanese as evil. I feel like it would be a natural reaction to hate the people you are fighting against and I'm surprised anti-Japanese songs were not more popular at this time. Having said that, it makes me proud that our country never sank to that level. I feel like really catchy songs can live on forever, so it is fortunate that these songs never caught on. If they had, they might still be around today, causing anti-Japanese sentiment to live on in song.
