Battotai - Imperial Japanese Army March

This song was meant to be a "Die Wacht am Rhein" for the new nation-state of Japan in full modern construction, a kind of unofficial new military anthem, it was a popular song during the second world war, reportedly sung by the IJA during the sino Japanese war and the Philippines campaign.
Lyrics:
1.
Ware wa kan gun wagateki wa
Tenchiirezaru choutekizo
Teki no taishou taru mono wa
Kokon musou no eiyuu de
Kore ni shitagou tsu wa mono wa
Tomo ni hyoukan kesshinoshi
Kijinni hajinu yuuaru mo (sometimes written as "Kishin ni hajinu yuuaru mo")
Tenno yurusanu hangyaku wo
Okoseshi mono wa mukashi yori
Sakae shitame shi arazaru zo
Teki no horoburu sore made wa
Susume ya susume moro tomo ni
Tamachiru tsurugi nuki tsurete
Shisuru kaku gode susumubeshi
2.
Mikuni no fuuto mono no fu wa
Sonomi wo mamoru tamashii no
Ishiin kono kata suta retaru
Nippon to no ima sara ni
Mata yo niizuru mi no homare
Teki mo mika tamo moro tomo ni
Yaeba no moto ni shisubeki ni (Sometimes written as "Yaeba no shita ni shisubeki ni")
Yamato-damashii aru mono wo
Shisubeki toki wa ima naru zo
Hi toni oku rete ha jikaku na
Teki no horoburu sore made wa
Susume ya susume moro tomo ni
Tamachiru tsurugi nuki tsurete
Shisuru kaku gode susumubeshi

Even though the Samurai general was rebelling against the Emperor, they still respected him because he's a Samurai and he represents the old way of Japan, which was still touted as honorable during WW2. Even though he rebelled against the Emperor and had to be put down, I guess they still sort of respected him for doing it because he died like a proper Japanese.

[@user-pn3im5sm7k]

​@@jinjin1111 There were some r4ped, no doubt about it. All major powers did this, so how is this special to Japan? Japan like any modern military at the time also had their own judicial and capital punishments for disobeying orders. If you knew anything about General Matsui Iwane is that he issued a very strict order on "no loop, r4pe, or killing" during the Nanking campaign in order to maintain stability in the region. Very few Japanese disobeyed this, the ones who did were often executed. No there is no valid proof of Unit 731 ever happening. There is very little information about Shiro Ishii, the man who supposedly ran the entire thing. There is not a single valid photo of shred of evidence of human experiments. The only photograph of Shiro Ishii is with him in a private's uniform. A stark contrast to his Surgeon General rank. No, the Nanking massacre is a complete fairy tale and after doing my research I 100% stand by it. None of the story adds up. For starters the Chinese claim 300,000 were massacred when in the 1937 census (along with various European primary sources like journalists in Nanking), puts the total population of the city to 200,000. So if you have any logic you would know that is impossible. Secondly there are no real photos of the incident. The only photos of the Japanese in Nanking are photographs from Japan with happy civilians and Japanese soldiers feeding the locals.

The song "Battoukai" is a police song. In the old days, the samurai fought a war against the new government forces to modernize Japan. At that time, the new government forces, which were a militia organization, were no match for the well-trained samurai, so they organized the Battoutai, which was made up of former samurai police officers. The reason why this song includes a respect for the enemy is because the enemy was the Samurai who had defended Japan up to that time.
