We used to sing the "Vapaussoturin valloituslaulu" version of the "Kauan on kärsitty" back in the army. And I only thawed out as recently as 8 months ago :D
My dad, born in the Philippines in 1936, was made to learn this song in school when the Japanese took over. He remembers bits of it all these years later.
My grandfather fought in the war in the Philippines, didn't know this until I asked my parents. The only thing I knew was he fought but didn't affiliated himself with the Americans or the communist guerillas and the time where he and his comrades jumped into a river to avoid capture. They also didn't tell me whether or not he assisted on the American landings in visayas(Which was close to where he lives). He died because of liver canser back when my mother graduated from college... Guess he felt that he had done his duty and let go. I didn't get to see him.
Same here in Malaysia during the Japanese occupation, a man told in a documentary the Japanese taught them to sing this song in school, he still remember few lines. He said school students are fortunate because the Japanese gave them one tinned of rice.
@@diddlypoop 1) Why would I make this up? 2) If he was born in 1936, then he was 5 when the Japanese invaded and turned 8 in the fall of 1944 when they were still there (they didn't leave until spring of 1945). That's grade school age.
Its quite popular in Malaysia and Indonesia (well at least for the old generation), besides we both under japanese occupation, P Ramli also popularized this song through his own version with additional malay lyrics
Blessings from Taiwan. My father was Mitsubishi shizuoka plant Engineer to build zero plane Engine in War world Two. He was dead about 7 years ago and my father&mother always love to sing Japanese military song. We still very respect the spirit and education system of Japan which carried from 1895 to 1945 to Taiwan. Deeply hope Taiwan and Japan have good friendship.
@@abi1521 every country has done something like that before. USA funded war crimes in Yemen and Afghanistan. China and Soviet Union killed millions of their own people. I’m not saying it’s not wrong, but at least this person has a heart to forgive. Also, the communists also fought against Japan too. It’s that the US didn’t fund as much as the Soviets did. (Because when they invaded Manchuria, they gave it to the communists)
@@abi1521 what you say doesn’t make sense, but what I assume what your trying to say is that both Koreas, and China hate Japan. The reason is politics. The current SK president is very anti-Japan, and same with Chinas leader. This goes for us Japanese too. Our government is mainly anti-China anti-Korea. But what matters is the people of that country. I mean I got lots of Chinese and Korean friends, and they don’t care at all that I am Japanese. This goes for other countries with high tensions. But I can confirm that we committed horrible crimes. That is no doubt.
@@tannuwhat4242 ahh so youre japanese, Im sorry for what I said before, but I always wonder why your government doesn't apologize seriously, they always do things that are considered controversial on the victim's side, like they deliberately incite anger.
Warship March Whether in defending or attacking Count on the iron castles on the waters Floating citadels of the rising sun To guard the empire's lands and seas Vessels armed and armored in steel To defeat the enemies of Great Japan They leave behind trails of coal smoke That drift above the ocean like dragons They fire their guns with loud booms That are deafening like peals of thunder Sail across thousands of miles of waves To the greater glory of the empire! HAIL THE EMPIRE

This song was forced to be sung by the Japanese Imperial Army to the conquered locals as a propaganda attempt to make the locals pledge loyalty to the Japanese Empire. I can vividly recall the way my grandfather sang this song ever so weakly on his bed, and the tales my dad told me about how my grandfather would sing this song everytime he was drunk. Like yeah, it sounds calming. But it had a dark history. Not that it matters, it does sound soothing to the ears.
What you say is very potent and people would benefit from internalizing this notion. We must not take pride nor shame in our nationality, wherever we come from our ambitions should be to appreciate what we have accomplished and mend the wounds of our violent pasts.
My late grandma was in Japanese school when japan take over Malaysia .. and she always sang this song to us (grandchild) and i knew this song from her.. what a memories
Hermosa cancion de el mejor imperio del mundo Japón cada me gusta mucho más Japón lo mejor del mundo. Me encanta 😊😍 y nada me hará cambiar de opinión 😃🙂 y parecer. Viva Japón 🇯🇵🇯🇵 bendiciones a Japón.
believe it or not, Indonesian's grandma and grandpa some of them still remember this song, my grandma sing this song that day i thought she's just making it up
My grandpa always sing this song when I was little kid, he told me her story about 1 soldier, gave him a samurai sword. As a gift friendship. After end of Borneo war. I don't no, maybe he a officer. My grandpa work as paddy planter that time. Maybe that officer came from paddy planter family in Japan. That why he gave to him. Unfortunately that sword was stolen by thief. Gone forever.
They still do. Most of the lyrics of their songs is really good. Specially the meaning. It's not always about Break up, Love, etc. or the generic ones.
My great-grandma told me about the japanese occupation during ww2, she lived in Panay island in VIsayas, Philippines, she was around 8 years old back then ( 1944 ), she said she loved seeing the planes at the sky but her grandpa always told her to go inside the house because its dangerous outside, Also at times, Japanese soldiers would come and play chase with her, she also said the Japanese soldiers took all valuable things in their house and sometimes even slept in, She also said the Japanese soldiers bayoneted her grandpa's chickens and pig, burnt their crops to find hidden weapons.
@Fast_Effect Probably, my grandma also told me a story that one time, when japanese soldiers were going for a swim at the river, One of them jumped but his briefs got stuck at a tree's branch, his comrades left them there until they were done swimming, Very comical!
My grandmother grew up in Panay as well. She also saw the war with her own two eyes. I think she was thirteen around that time. The IJA that came to her town were actually nice to the locals. Japanese soldiers would routinely give the local children candy and assist the locals on their daily lives (i.e. farming and fishing) but she was scared and I don’t blame her its because of the stories of other IJA kidnapping and raping women, killing able-bodied men, and as well as burning their livestock.
POV : this song was composed by Setoguchi(瀬戸口), who was very famous and composed gunkankoushinkyoku(軍艦行進曲). Btw, the lyrics of this song was selected as a contest, and the winner was a young literature boy named Morikawa(森川) in his 20s. So this song was famous for combination of young and elder spirit of Japanese empire in that era.
Plus : Lyrics of Japanese military songs followed 7-5 rhythm rule. For example, みよとうかいの (7) そらあけて (5) きょくじつかたく (7) かがやけば (5) This tradition was inherited to another asian countries, so many other asian countries’ military songs also follow this 7-5 rule. Yukgunga(육군가) is song which represents Korean army, and all of Korean army soldiers must remember this song(I was one of them). Let’s look at the lyrics. 백두산 정기뻗은 (7) 삼천리강산 (5) 무궁화 대한은 (6) 온 누리의 빛 (5) 화랑의 핏줄타고 (7) 자라난 우리 (5)
"Japaneses are herbivores. Move forward, eating the grass in front of you." "Cars don't need for us. We need some cows and horses. Load military supplies on horses and cows. If there's no food, eat this animals." by. A Japanese General, who is named 'Renya Mutaguchi'.

Philippines version of aikoku kōshinkyoku Lyrics Miyo! Tokai Soramei Te, Rising Sun Flag Kasa Sun Flag, Masiglang masigla Ang Kibo ay Omishima Island. Oh, sa bamboo steamer Soba noodles malapit sa wisteria Kinomuketsu nang walang kaluwagan Waga Maging maalikabok sa Japan. Tate! Ang Okimi ni Issei Noong kasama ko si Hikari, Sim Min Wallera Mina Tomoni Kinakabahan ako kay Mitsu. Yuke, Hakko, Ye at Pear, Tingnan ang mga tao ng Shikai, Gayunpaman, ito ay mapayapa. Riso Hana at Saki Kaoru. Sa tuwing pupunta ako Kahit bagyo Danko at Mamoresonoseigi. Isa lang ang daan ng Susuman. Oh, kaysa kay Kamiyo Todoroki Knife, Ang kinaroroonan ng Dakilang Liwanag na Diyos Si Sakae ito!
As a South East Asian, I always remember this song. It was sung by P. Ramlee (Famous Actor and Film Director) at his movie and now i know the title of the song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7aXLzDiHF58.html
