This is the original Video by its actual maker, me.
Corrections to translation added via subtitle function
------------------------------------------------------
I believe this was my first attempt at a gunka video, over a decade ago, so please excuse the editing and small translation mistakes (since corrected).
Historical Document ahoy
I used to be very interested in the Second Sino-Japanese war, so this shows it I guess:
A good example of what type of music regularly played on the radio in militarist Japan. The song stresses the virtues of duty and sacrifice of the Japanese soldier for the sake of the country. As always: a historical document, not for politics or incitement. I find it also an example of traditional Japanese music (it belongs to a genre of its own, known as 'Gunka' or military music).
Yes, I translated the song by hand and compiled the footage to go along with it. Why did I go to the trouble? Interest and vanity. And to see what I can do.
Japanese is a very ambiguous language and there happens to be a lot of symbolism in the song, so my translation might seem vague in parts. There are enough metaphors here、 one predictably drawing on the Samurai belief that, like the Sakura, a true warrior achieves perfection on the battlefield, then withers and dies.
Often my translation is literal, then sometimes more open (my Japanese is only self-taught); therefore I hope the holders of PhDs in Japanese won't nit-pick too much.
CORRECTION: A long while after first creating this, and thanks to the since available subtitle function I was able to add a correction to a bad translation error. Kudan is a place name, referring to the district in Tokyo where the Yasukuni shrine is located and the verse refers to the blooming of cherry blossoms there in honour of fallen soldiers (the souls of the fallen were believed to return to the homeland, to Yasukuni after they died). Apologies for this. - Hudba

動画を見る限り、大変な労働のように感じました。戦争映画とは全くちがいますね。本当にご苦労様でした。今私たちがあるのはあなたたちの労働と犠牲のおかげですね。有難うございました。
The salute at the end (3:15) always give me chills to my back when I listen to that song.
You've done a fine job bringing the history to life.
今の日本があるのは先人のおかげです。
逝った人を悼み、拝むそのことが大事です
本当に戦地では死ぬほど辛かったでしょう。国を背負い闘った英雄達よ本当にありがとうございました。日本よ天皇陛下よ先人達よ万歳！
this song has some badass words that describe their father.
Thank for this video it hard to get good footage of the imperial japanese
0:17 is when the song starts.

けして軍国主義を肯定はしないが、日本人はもっと誇りを持って行動するべきです。
軍國主義=愛國主義
@@stoggafllik可以愛國，但是不應該是以讐恨他國爲前提的愛國
自分の国を愛すのは何処の国の国民も持つべき質朴な感情だと思いますが、ただしその愛国心は他国を蔑むことを前提に生めばやがて災難が起きることになるかもしれません。第二次世界大戦の時の独日伊三国がまさにその極端な愛国心によって他国に、そして自らにも災いを招いてしまいました
@@yifuyang6188 日本「大東亞共榮圈」的目的就是讓亞洲各種民族不必再受到白人的欺壓。這也是孫中山建立民國的心願。
@@stoggafllik 共榮應該是平等的共同繁榮，而不是一邊喊著“共榮”的口號，一邊叫著別人支那然後到別人的領土上連殺帶搶，那叫“我榮”，而且是註定給自己招來災禍的“我榮”。我覺得現在就挺好，中日韓互相之間多做做生意投投資，搞一搞旅遊，沒事再合作個項目，一塊兒發財，這纔是眞共榮。
I commend you on a fine job. I was first stationed in Japan in 1979. The first Japanese songs I learned were Gunka. Sang them in Karaoke bars, (when Karaoke didn't even exist in the USA) & got to meet veterans who fought in China. I sat with one, at his home, who showed me photos from China, including the fate of of those caught on "Bandit-Supressing operations". But he said "we were crazy back then, controlled by military govt, Peace is better for Japan." We, in the US, should reflect on this.
Japan did nothing wrong.

I Love this Song and Japan
女性の歌声だと沁みるなぁ〜😌この時代の先人諸先輩方に🙏🙏
歌手は誰でしょうか？
I got to say the older japanese songs from the time of the shogun were more spirited and emotional even without words. I can hear in the music the confusion in their hearts as they were neither entirely traditional japanese nor traditional western but a mix between the 2 showing the split in the hearts of the japanese at the time.
This song is from The Empire of Japan, there was no shogun anymore when this song was made. It is an Imperial song that was made in the spirit of western marches, not traditional at all. What are you on about?
日本が軍国主義？当時は世界中が軍国主義だ、日本はアジアの植民地解放戦争をしたのだ、すばらしい国家日本だ。
大日本は軍国主義といっても何も悪いことは無いし 日本は喧嘩を買った方なので売らないし 本当の歴史を知っている人は 本当の日本のことを知っている人は全部知っているはずです
大東亜戦争における植民地の死者を知っていますか？それを踏まえて発言してください。
ナショナリズムに傾倒するのもいいですが現実を知ってください。
ちなみに私は日本人ですからね。、
@@user-sv9ip7pw4e そうなんですか、日本人？、まあ、色々な思いがあるでしょうが、愛国心を持ってほしいですね。ちなみに、日本は、植民地は持ってません、搾取してません、その国のインフラ整備に巨額の投資してますから。

My soul is burned good music
+タヌキ将軍 It's a poetic thing. And it im sure it also has to do with the older ways of saying things. No one today says or even writes beggining with "夫よ貴方は" :P
The tune at the beginning is similar to “ode of Showa restoration” .
Thank-you Fabien-san. :: sincere bow ::

it sound like showa restoration song
Any ideas who's the Soloist of this song?
Who is the man at the end?
It would be very nice if someone could give me some more information about him and this speech.
Greetings from Germany
The conscription was crazy back then, even 15-year-olds would serve in war and fight and die, once you graduated middle school (Middle school is after Elementary) you would go to war.
And for 13-year-olds and so on they would dig a shelter in their house against bombing raids.
While the mothers would go a few towns away just to get milk to feed their child.
Not to mention you can't just buy food, you were given cards and when and you could buy.
So, in the end, Japan was really thinking that some need to die to enjoy a happy life.
While Germany was thinking of being on top of every race.
So overall this is the motivation of the Axis members.
Romania: Getting their ethnic lands from USSR.
Hungary: Getting back lands from Hungarian-Romanian war and revoke some treaties.
Germany: Being the top race and bringing back the old glory they once had.
Italy: Wanted more lands after disagreeing with what they got on the Treaty of Versailles.
Japan: Having no oil and needing more bigger land for farms and not that much food with not that much jobs.
Thailand: Wanting the ethnic land from French Indo-China.
+@Тайши Кислицын
I agree with you but the situation of the Axis was unhappily not my question. I hoped that someone could give me more information about the japanese general? and his speech at the end of the video. The ,,Tenno heika banzai!" exclamation was obviously the end of a speech and I would be very glad if anyone could give ne more details about it.
Kindly greetings!

Why do all these songs have the same tune? Not saying it sounds bad, but is it just a Japanese thing?
Logan Smith alot of them sound different .. but these ones are the best
