The logo is still used by their navy but rarely shown. Most of the time you'll see it is in the extreme political parties in Japan (their version of the Nazi party) when they are doing their demonstrations to try to kick all Koreans and Chinese out of their country.
Also Asahi Shinbun (newspaper company) uses one that is similar, but totally unrelated.
It would be smart and courteous to remove it, even if the company that modded it is ignorant enough to use it as their logo

I was mainly pointing it out since I know not everyone has the money to redo a paint job (regardless of how insensitive it might be), but since he's planning on redoing it anyway, not really relevant anymore lol.
I'll make sure I tell Raid3n that he probably shouldn't put his up (it's called the rising sun right? Just wanna make sure it's the correct one). Honestly though, I've never understood putting someone else's flag on your stuff. Sure it looks cool, but then there's situations like these that arise if you aren't of that nation/group/whatever. You might not know about negative connotations that come with it.
