  • So I decided to do an English cover of the "Field Encampment Song". Sadly I couldn't find a piano version with all five verses so I had to cut the middle one. I do apologize.
    Original lyrics:
    勝って来るぞと 勇ましく
    ちかって故郷を 出たからは
    手柄たてずに 死なりょうか
    進軍ラッパ 聴くたびに
    瞼に浮かぶ 旗の波
    土も草木も 火と燃える
    果てなき曠野 踏みわけて
    進む日の丸 鉄兜
    馬のたてがみ なでながら
    明日の命を 誰が知る
    弾丸もタンクも 銃剣も
    しばし露営の 草まくら
    夢に出てきた 父上に
    死んで還れと 励まされ
    醒めて睨むは 敵の空
    思えば今日の 戦闘に
    朱に染まって にっこりと
    笑って死んだ 戦友が
    天皇陛下 万歳と
    残した声が 忘らりょか
    戦する身は かねてから
    捨てる覚悟で いるものを
    ないてくれるな 草の虫
    東洋平和の ためならば
    なんの命が 惜しかろか

      lol well, I decided to use the original phrase just because it's so well-known in English.

    It would be surprising if my late grandfather knew that foreigners were singing Japanese military songs. You look amazing. And thank you

      I have listened to them since I was in high school in 2006, I even used Roe no uta in a school project back then when I lived in South Florida, I also own alot of Japanese items from the war including two Arisaka type 99 rifles and type 30 bayonet and a type 90 Helmet.

    私は5番の「泣いてくれるな草の虫」の部分が好きで。作詞者はまだ戦場の余韻も残る陥落直後の南京の城壁で、啼く虫の声を聴き、明日をもしれない戦場で人の命のむなしさを込めた
    とのちにしるしており、非常に好きな逸話です。これを蛍で表現するのはなかなか上手いやり方だと感心しました。英語圏で虫の声では伝わりにくそうですもの。

    due to leukemia my last 3 years where awful for body,heart and mind. but people like you make this painful existence worth living. (other than my family.)
    think you could possibly make Battotai too?

      I'm sorry I didn't respond to this comment at the time. I am truly touched by the sentiment. We all must bear the pains of this life as best we can. I am just sorry that I've been so busy. I have a partially translated version of Battotai that is waiting on my attention - I promise I'll try to get to it soon.

      Your words are like painkillers to me.
      3 years since I have been feeling better but pain has yet to leave my body for now,but i will manage,even the coma I suffered did not end me. ever since that horrible day I decided that life will suffer me until my time comes,i am too young to accept it after all (21), and as I do I will listen to your work as well.
      Take your time and know that I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
