This is one of those songs I found on accident while looking for another song, this time it was 君のその手で that I was looking for but not gonna lie, this song is good. Also, it's also one of those songs that I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere on the internet so I had to find a way to get them, I might have made some mistakes while getting the lyrics so I apologize to Japanese viewers if I do. it took a long time to get them.
This song was published in 1982 and it's very unique to any other Gunka back then because the instruments originally used for the song are made up of modern instruments instead of an orchestra, although not all instruments in the song are modern as you can hear from the flute. The song talks about the 3 branches of the Japanese Self-Defense Force: Infantry, Navy, & Air Force, hence the transitions. I assume this recording was trace to about the 90s or early 2000s because I manage to find RU-vid videos with this song dating to 2008 and such
Update: from comments by Japanese viewers, this song was rarely or never played at all in the military. I do not know why it's not played but I can't really draw much conclusions as to why

「日本語」
緑の大地を 熱く抱きしめて
作らん明日への道しるべ
泥にまみれた 銀の汗一つ
全てを伝えよう この土に
忘れないでいてくれればいい
愛する心 平和の誓い
今はカにまだなれずとも
ぞびえる あの山に この身を代えよう
砕けて飛び散る 白い波しぶき
進まん この海を守るため
面舵いっぱい 遠い水平線
荒ぶ航海に かける夢
忘れないでいてくれればいい
愛する心 平和の誓い
今はカにまだなれずとも
遙かな あの海に望みを代えよう
輝く大空 日い稲妻よ
飛び立て 太陽に届くまで
熱い心を すべて寄せ合えば
希望につながん 虹の橋
忘れないでいてくれればいい
愛する心 平和の誓い
今はカにまだなれずとも
燃える あの雲に望みを代えよう
