Help me remember a book!

I have no idea about the title or the author, but I know what it is about.

It is about a group of Japanese students being sent to an Island to essentialy fight to the death. Each chapter *if I recall correctly, it has been a while since I read this* is either told from the prespective of 1 of the children or is told in 3rd person but still focuses on 1 of the children. I also know there are some vauge references to a Japanese victory in WWII and I do remember it being specifically mentioned on this website.

The title and author of the book would be most appreciated.

Thanks an advance!
