軍歌：続露営の歌 (Second Field Encampment Song)

Zoku Rouei no Uta ("Continued"/Second Field Encampment Song) was written by Sato Sonosuke in 1937 during the Sino-Japanese war.
By a different songwriter than Rouei no Uta and written as a response piece, the song was much less popular than the former and this explains why there has only ever been one recording of the song, which I have taken from a good quality vinal recording and translated.
This is the only ever translation into English of this song to the best of my knowledge.
The lyrics are a mix of violent and astounding and have been set out here as another example of Japanese gunka with a rush of fitting battle footage and sound which I believe fit more for this song than for those of my other videos.
Translation notes:
"tides of blood" - could also be translated by simply "blood" but I was more literal here
"human bullets" - "nikudan", alternatively the mass infantry charges on enemy positions
"taste of Japanese steel" - alternatively "a taste of my Japanese sword"
"the holy war" - the name given to the war in China in the 1930s however I believe this later extended to the larger subsequent conflict
"fall alongside Japan's flowers" - Samurai-esque euphemism: to die the death of a warrior
As usual, I stress that no political expression is meant, and that this is a historical document that I have tried to recreate.
Should you like it, please like and subscribe. I will make more.

I think it's genius that it's in a minor key. Idk most German marches are in a Major key and makes the fight seem glorious but also without a terrible amount of depth. When it is minor, I feel that the weight of war is more apparent. It's glorious but also real. All military marches should be in minor I feel it's disingenuous otherwise of the subject material - unless the major marches are arranged to portray this reality.
