Kaneko consulted with Abdul Hamid and the other leaders of Akamuda. Their answer was that they wanted him to return to Japan, no matter the shame.
Hamid told Kaneko that we must do everything in our power to gain independence from Indonesia, and that it was Kaneko-san who had taught him that.
The night of January 5, 1946, just as he was making up his mind to return to Japan, Kaneko was ordered by the British military to surrender to the British on the charge of complicity in Indonesia's independence movement.

The prison was a place for 600 Japanese and 1,400 Indonesians. The inmates must have been in despair, wondering if they would ever be able to escape heavy punishment or achieve independence.
Kaneko himself decided that he would never get out of this prison alive.

He repeatedly asked the interrogator who India originally belonged to and who originally belonged to Indonesia, and continued to insist that what was wrong with cooperating with the movement for Indonesian independence.
One day, Kaneko looked up at the sky and saw the voice of the Indonesian Raya, and one by one, more and more people joined in the chorus.
It soon became a chorus of more than 1,000 people. The Indonesian prisoners began to sing "Aikoku no hana" in Japanese, which they naturally learned from the Japanese soldiers who used to sing it to express their nostalgia.
The chorus was sung nightly at the prison. The chorus echoed through the prison every night, and Kaneko's loud voice leading the chorus gave other Japanese inmates hope for life.
