      Here's their party leader speaking in regards to a visit by Abe to Yasakuni Shrine:

      Shii said the Yasukuni question essentially arises from the fact that the shrine has a mission to glorify Japan’s past war of aggression as “a war for self-defense” and “a holy war to liberate Asia” and to propagate such an ideology.

      “We have repeatedly pointed out that the prime minister’s visit to the shrine amounts to giving the government approval to Yasukuni’s position. Making an offering to Yasukuni has the same implication,” Shii stressed.

      You can go here and search by history to find more articles. They definitely aren't apologists for Japanese colonialism. I didn't find anything about reparations though, and they do get pretty pearl clutching on North Korea and China.
