Mizushima Shuhei wrote this song in 1913 when he was 15 years old while he was a student at a youth army officers school and presented it during a school festival. The principle got angry for calling the school bags “beggars bags” and he got punished by being put into a curfew for couple weeks. His Japanese language teacher was actually impressed by his lyrics and happily praised him for it. The song became popular among other army officer schools around the country and students would sing it until the end of ww2 in 1945. Mizushima himself passed away in 1947.
At least the grunts on the front lines calling in artillery aren’t the ones who have to account for wind, drop and travel time. The ones who are doing the math are the artillerymen.
@@nickthenuker7916 yes, true. My senior high school in indonesia was just 20 meter behind the center of field artillery school of Indonesia national army. I can play and enter that place if the front door are open. Hell yeah, that's also make my boy scout instructor even came from that place. Since I was boy scout lead, I have more time to spend in there and have chance to see how they teach even see the hell of calculating shoot trajectory and to be precise if in college you need at least 8 number behind zero they did 16 number and if can 24 number behind zero while we now even just need to dumb and just use rangefinder etc. etc. and yes, they even told to use manual calculation on ASTROS missile launcher
Me and the boys storming the School Cafe to gain support of the popular kids on a coup against the weak student council! And then getting sent to an Hour long detention.... Which you only serve 30 minutes!!!!!
@@PtolemaicArmy_Guerrilla Did you really not get it, or are you sarcastic? They're joking that their father (I don't know the gender of the Japanese person so I'm using they) would beat them with a trouser belt if they admitted this - it's a joke about the strictness of Asian parents. I'm from Eastern Europe and Boomer parents in my part of the world tend to be just as strict (and in some ways worse) as the stereotypical Asian parents.
This song was written I believe prior to World War 2, and because there was no musical sheet or addendum added, it fit well with the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
@@themangledwither It's a folk song of kind of indeterminate origin, so you're both just as likely to be right! What's important here is that it is very American, and usually very left leaning
@@edwardj.ximipa3125 welp, since i see 'MIPA' on your account name, rejoice. You have been choose math and memory hell since you choose Science in SHS man.
@Hans sure does they were so angry at their high school standards that they committed unspeakable atrocities on every race they could get their hands on to let go of the anger
@Hans PH Department of Tourism said "Its more fun in the Philippines" so the IJA starts migrating there although IJA had too much fun when they organized a sportsfest in Bataan and PH and US got mad cause they'll have to pay for it so they challenge the IJA to play PUBG in forest, hills and villages then they play COD in Manila
1:10 as a Japanese student , this is so fucking relatable . I guess Japanese students will forever be tormented by having to learn old Chinese texts as long as japan exists .
@@g.-4678 you can’t blame the japanese ancestors as they pretty much didn’t know what or who arabic people were so they chose a chinese based writing system
@@MasonGreenWeed trust me, Americans butcher any other language as much as the Japanese. And it’s not even modern Chinese, it’s centuries old Chinese literature.
Some of my friends and I came up with an English version of this back when we were officer candidates, altered slightly to fit an American ROTC environment. Our instructors were not amused but it spread like wildfire in the battalion. It took a written order from the colonel threatening anyone caught singing it with summary disenrollment to make it stop, and even then we kept at it whenever cadre weren’t around.
The yanks parodying the confederate’s music- degrading song about them being traitors. The Japanese parodying the United state’s music- “I HATE MATH >:(“
I mean Why do you think the civil war started? Many conflicting interests at governmental and social level all culminating in the final straw of slavery? No thats dumb,its cuz Robert E. lee told lincoln (a massive fuckin' nerd) that math was hella gay and got his boys stonewall and Jeff to back him up.

The funniest part of this isnt how relatable the lyrics is, it's how it's still being interpreted seriously lol. It's feels so wrong while it ACTUALLY slaps
@@inventor121 agreed this is literally my life right now Me seeing physics: How I am supposed to understand this bulls hit? Newton and Einstein must have been drubk
Even if Japan succeeded in taking over China and winning the war, learning classical Chinese would still be mandatory to understand historical Japanese documents.
@@goldenfiberwheat238 You're right, should've clarified. Konoe had no backbone and once the public became enthusiastic about the war in China he suddenly dropped his "stop at Shanghai" attitude and called for all out war.
seeing "how am i supposed to understand this bullshit?" in a century-old parody of a song usually associated with the us civil war, made to be about IJA officer school, is both one of the finniest things I've seen today, and a reminder that people in the past were a lot more similar to us than we usually think

Jesus Christ, East Asians singing about math and school in their marching songs WITH equations and concepts of geometry (such as coordinates, origin, and parabola) and physics (such as acceleration)? That's freaking awesome!
Im half westerner and half asian, lived in both hemispheres for an equal amount of time and i can say that this is true. I first lived in America and the education there is so lax. When i was finishing up addition and subtraction in grade 2, the grade 2 in the Philippines are already finishing up multiplication and division. You can tell how much i suffered when i transferred to Asia in grade 3
American Airborne parody: "aight folks. if there's something wrong when u jump, you're automatically die and those medics on the ground will happily escorting your body to the morgue" IJA parody: "i hate school. i hate classes"
Here are the lyrics if you struggle to remember the lines Damn having to carry that beggar bag around And having to gather as the trumpets sound The classroom is filled with students Is it math again today? The triangles, all of that thinking And I only barely finished everything Coordinates, origin, and parabola Goddamn, it's analysis! I'm not a doctor of physics How am I supposed to know the acceleration? It's simply a square or a triangle! Goddamn, this is serious stuff! I don't even know if that's a needle or a worm This is the absurdity of language class What a troublesome work this is I must be Napoleon! Confucius and Mencius must've been drinking And intoxicated when they're writing their stuff How am I supposed to understand this bullshit? Oh god, I hate learning Chinese A long time ago Yoshida Kenko and Ki no Tsurayuki They are just writing nonsense Like melting mizuames "Loyalty, Filial Piety, benevolence and love" Why are these values are still relevant nowadays? That class must be hypnotic Because I can fall asleep immediately

Imagine: You're visiting your friend in Japan. You are now going to their younger sibling's school to introduce yourself. And then you play this song for the students and they all smile and giggle while the teacher just stands there and looks at you with a "You know that they'll never shut up about this song, right?" look.
one actual thing this song is used as is melody to school anthems and aswell is highly known to become an school used melody, even in my school they use that melody.
