“Oppenheimer should at least represent Japanese voices” actual Japanese filmmakers have made dozens of movies about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including at least two anime films off the top of my head, that you would’ve bothered to watch if you actually cared about this beyond winning discourse points. Not to mention all the Japanese science fiction that is obviously inspired in some way by trauma over the bombing, including the entire genre of kaiju films. Do you really think there's anything those works haven't said that Christopher Nolan would add? Or maybe, in fact, the lack of focus there in Oppenheimer is The Point, since the real-life Manhattan Project (which the film is critical of) certainly wasn't consulting "Japanese voices"? (Like, perhaps that is part of the film's criticism of it???) Anyway, In This Corner of the World is a great film about the life of a young woman from Hiroshima in the waning days of WWII that you can currently rent for $1.99 on Amazon Prime. It's animated by the same studio that did Yuri!!! on Ice and it's based on a 3-volume manga that is also terrific and available both physically and digitally in English. If you actually want fiction that depicts "Japanese voices on the atomic bomb" I would start there. If you actually care about diverse perspectives in media you'd also care about the people making that media and look to what actual Japanese people are saying about this rather than expecting American and British creators to spoon-feed it to you.

by the way in this corner of the world is a movie that provides an interesting perspective on the atomic bomb dropping of hiroshima—it focuses on a normal young woman in a neighboring town and the routines of her daily life before, during, and right after the war. the art style is very endearing and the overall movie retains a slice-of-life quality despite the tragedies that happen within it.

and barefoot gen is the most well-known animated movie about hiroshima's bombing, taking place in the city itself. the horror of the moment and its immediate aftermath is depicted in graphic detail—that imagery is still burnt into my mind years after watching it. the movie is semi-autobiographical, based on the writer's own experience in hiroshima.
