They were ready to surrender with conditions. In the end the US allowed them to surrender with a single condition regarding the emperor. Is there any information regarding what their other conditions may have been?

I've been looking for them from the official source I once had, but I cannot find it today.

IIRC, they were:

1. The form of the government is to be preserved; i.e. the Emperor's position is maintained. (I cannot remember if the rest of the government was included, but I don't think so.)

2. Japan is responsible for demobilizing its military.

3. There will be no occupation.

4. Japan is responsible for handling its own war crimes.
