In simple terms the Philippine Islands was crucial to Japan's effort to control the Southwest Pacific, seize the resource-rich Dutch East Indies, and protect its Southeast Asia flank. For the U.S, control of these islands would hurt the Japanese war effort and provide the U.S. with much needed bases near Japan, from which they could control this area, and launch attacks on Japan.

Japan lost land in World War 2 as they lost the war. During the war they took over parts of China, Korea and a large number of islands across the Pacific including the Philippines.

As with it's axis partner Germany, they were both bankrupt.
Japan captured several islands during World War II, notably the Philippines, where the infamous Bataan Death March occurred. This brutal forced march resulted in the deaths of thousands of American prisoners of war and Filipino soldiers. Other significant islands where similar atrocities took place include Guam and Wake Island. The harsh treatment and conditions faced by POWs in these regions led to significant loss of life.
The country was Japan, which is actually several islands.
World War II had many fronts, including but definitely not limited to Japan, Russia, China, Italy, North Africa, Poland and France.The Japanese home islands were only attacked in the later stages of the war, being bombed by the US and, in the case of the Kuril Islands, invaded by the Russians (who control them today).
Japan did not hate New Zealand. During World War II, Japan embarked upon a campaign of dominance of the Pacific, and this included the islands of New Zealand.
