The speech was broadcast at noon Japan Standard Time and was the first time many Japanese citizens heard their emperor's voice. The message was delivered in formal Classical Japanese, which many listeners found difficult to understand. The speech made no direct reference to Japan's surrender but stated that the government had been instructed to accept the 'joint declaration' of the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and the Soviet Union. This led to confusion among listeners about whether Japan had actually surrendered. The poor audio quality of the radio broadcast and the formal courtly language further exacerbated the confusion.
