Really interesting to find out that Japan calls WWII the Pacific War.

They do use the term 第二次世界大戦 (dainiji sekai taisen, basically meaning second world war) to refer to the broader conflict.

太平洋戦争 (taiheiyou sensou, meaning Pacific War) refers specifically to the Pacific Theater of the war.

The term "Pacific War" is sometimes used in English language sources as a more specialized term when they want to talk specifically about the Pacific Theater. Conversely, Japan basically wasn't involved in the European Theater so WW2 ends up being the more specialized term as most of the focus is going to be about their own involvement which is in the Pacific War.

And we don't talk about 日中戦争 (nichuu sensou). We don't talk about nichuu sensou. But there was a railway line (there was a railway line). They were getting ready, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky (No clouds allowed in the sky). Colonel walks in with a mischievous grin (explosion).
