"Let's do our best!" - Japanese Workers' Song 

The Unthinkable Option.

Only the Japanese could come up with a song by the name of "let's do our best"

When the anime animators get paid too little:

These guys actually did a ton in the 60s and early 70s, everything from terror attacks to staging huge very well planned riots. Many of the images on this video were taken from a protest/riot in which well organized members of the communist party managed to break the Japanese riot police forcing them to retreat. The communists used medieval tactics to defeat the riot police, often forming front lines with auxiliaries which they would switch out when the front got tired. They also used battering rams, which caused great devastation to the riot police and their vehicles. It was called the “Sanrizuka Struggle”, the Wikipedia article on it is very interesting.

When you take the "The Unthinkable Option" focus while playing as japan in Hearts of Iron IV

Fun fact, the Japanese Communist Party is one of the largest communist party that's not in charge of their nation They currently have 12 seats in the Japanese house of representatives, 13 seats in the house of councilors, and has roughly 270,000 members. They even managed to get third place in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly in 2013, with 616,000 votes and close behind second place at 639,000 votes. They are currently the largest Left-Wing party in the Metropolitan Assembly

“Let’s Do Our Best” Now when I imagine the head of the Japanese Communist Party, I think of a dad who’s also a soccer coach.

When the emperor starts claiming to be God on Earth again

Translating Japanese into English sometimes requires some poetic liberties but I would probably translate 「燃え上がる女」as the “burning woman” which complements the 「黒金の男」or “man of iron.” And 「突き上げる空に」as “rising towards the sky” instead of “for the great blue sky” because it conveys that the fists are being raised towards the sky.

Japan : Lets Do Our Best Russians : *So Your A Man Of Culture As Well*

*Japanese Communist Song* Doesn’t show the Japanese Communist party’s flag

**The Unthinkable Option Intensifies.**

Now that's an interesting combination.

日本のコメント少なくて泣けた がんばろう労働歌だからか知らないけどこの曲調も踏まえてやる気出てくる

Jokes aside, this is an incredibly inspiring song.

oh my fucking god i've been needing a translation for this song since 2018 god bless you man

When the Japanese government took farmers lands to build an airport and the farmers and student unions built forts to stop the construction

This would make a great anthem

So, not to be negative and/or pedantic, but this translation seems pretty wildly inaccurate to me. Like “Kurogane no otoko no kobushi ga aru. Moeagaru on'na no kobushi ga aru” is translated as “The man of iron has a strong fist. The woman shoots up her strong fist.” But that means something like “We have the might/fists of iron men. We have the might of furious women.” Or worst of all, “Kuni no uchisoto no kobushi ga aru” is translated as “Out of the country raises one strong fist” when it's something more like “We have the might of those inside and outside of the country.”

When they say communism and anime can never mix

Ohhh, nostalgia

Such a great and beautiful song ! Thank you very much for sharing this video.

Workers of the world,unite!

ついにがんばろうが海外でも紹介されたのか

I remember Japan is the first Asian country influenced by communism thoughts, and although people from other parts of the world may have no idea about Japanese history, Japanese left wing warriors had done tons of efforts and sacrifices to realize their goals. Even if there were some mistakes made by their movements, their efforts do did change their country in many areas and inspired especially the other Asian countries. For example, Many Chinese communists and other leftists once studied in Japan and enlightened by their thoughts, like Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Zhou Enlai and Luxun. Japan might be the most difficult circumstance for left wing movements, in my view it's even more difficult than American ones, the stubborn feudalism mighty, national culture, extreme right wing mighty, comparatively isolated geographic environment, cruel manipulation from some foreign mighty…… hell-level-difficulty-game

The greatest japanese song by far ;(

Virgin Red sun in the sky Chad Let's do our best!

Lyrics (latin alphabet): Ganbarou tsukiageru sora ni Kurogane no otoko no kobushi ga aru Moe agaru on'na no kobushi ga aru Tatakai wa koko kara tatakai wa ima kara Ganbarou tsukiageru sora ni Wa o tsunagu nakama no kobushi ga aru Oshiyoseru nakama no kobushi ga aru tatakai wa koko kara tatakai wa ima kara Ganbarou tsukiageru sora ni Kuni no uchi-so to no kobushi ga aru Kachidoki o yobu kobushi wa hitotsu Tatakai wa koko kara Tatakai wa ima kara `ō !'

The Unthinkable Option

なんだこれはたまげたなあ

The people in the comments reducing the labor movement in a country to the racial stereotypes they can conjure and their obsession with anime need to go outside and touch grass.

This is so good

Youd think something this epic would require a verse of more graduer. But all you need "lets do our best" and already it feels like you're halfway to the goal.

カッケェ

as you see,the great yari ashigaru endure through the ages.

Anime illustrators after drinking a bottle of vodka:

I'm not a communist, but I'm learning Japanese, and I was happy that I understood most of it without paying attention to the subtitles. Greetings from Germany to the Land of the Rising Sun. Ps: The song is really epic.

time to play Red Flood Japan with this playing

On 0:42 the picture reminds me of when the Greeks fought the Romans, the Greeks breaking the romans defence with their king spears breaking it up.

soviet national anthem: Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary.

Germany:Why did you Bomb Pearl harbor!? Japan:did you mean we Bombed pearl harbor?

People's Republic of Japanese joined Comintern

In Japanese, the title is "頑張ろう" which I would translate more like "Let's persist!" in this context? Thanks, that's so great. Especially the 全学連 footage

听哭了，这首真的太有力量。太振奋人心，祝愿日本的共产主义一定胜利！全世界人民团结起来！

自分の国にこういう曲があるのは知らなかった

All power to the people!

Ingen uploads? A blessing from the Lord

WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! UUUUURRRRRRAAAA

It’s crazy because Japanese people are really hard working.

2:00 based

Damn this is more epic than the whole Asian continent combine plus anime too

Why is this so epic?!

This sounds cooler than the Japanese anthem

Germany= We will use Blitzkrieg! USA= We will use Strategic Bombing! USSR: We have more men than the Germans have bullets, just charge! Japan= Let's do our best.

Based Japanese

La verdad que no sabia que Japon tuviera un partido comunista, lo acabo de buscar en wikipedia y resulta que es un partido bastante grande.

Gonna tell my kids this is the real anime

この作曲者が今の日本の労働を見たとき:

This is just perfect!

Ganbaru yo, Proletary-kun!

Finally, a based Japanese song

Based song.

がんばろうがんばろう歌ってたわりに、社会党は選挙頑張れませんでした。 悲しいね

Out and within the nation raise one strong fist* 内外(うちそと) means inside and outside.

Fuck Battotai, this is my jam.

You don't have to be a communist to love this. Sometimes you just need motivation and this song gives exactly that.

がんばろう！

friends were playing HOI4 and one of them was japan. He started laughing maniacally and queued up this banger. Next thing we know, the emperor was dead within seconds and Japan was communist.

Beautiful

ooh it sounds strong

When you not share your food with your Japanese friend

People commenting about "anime", but this event has like...only one anime inspired by it (The Blood Lullaby) I wish I would be able to read mangas or watch animes that recap this event. They reflect a lot of dark parts in Japanese society that has yet to be known.

日本よ、日本人よこれからもがんばろう！

“Ganbarū” is not really “let’s do our best”, it’s “fighting” and “striving”.

The time when the Prime Minister of Japan was stabbed by a communist using a Samurai

Asanuma was a Social-Nationalist

When the chemical factory starts dumping methylmercury into your bay

I don't profess to know much about the Japanese language but if I'm not mistaken "がある” roughly translates to "there is", so this song is talking about the "fists" of all these people (presumably their fighting spirit and strength) and then saying "there is". In Japanese the main predicate is always supposed to go at the end of the sentence, so it looks like this song is saying "we have X's fist, we have Y's fist, we have Z's fist too", talking about the combined might of everyone pooling their strength. Basically a worker solidarity message (Someone who's Japanese would have to verify this).

A bright red Japan is the way .
