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.

[@iwilleatyourentirefamily9694]

wow!

[@derekcalva1646]

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.

[@gunnerr8476]

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]

but the philippines were only occupied by japan for three years, I don't even think he'd be grade school aged would he?

[@davidvega8536]

@@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.

[@cjKin]

Finally found this song. This is what my grandma used to sing as a kid(9 years old) from the Philippines. She's 92 now and her memory still sharp. Not all Japanese soldiers were brutal then as depicted in history books. Maybe for the case of my grandma. She said that she became friends with the soldiers assigned to them because she reminded them of their children left in Japan. Some are young soldiers who missed their parents at home. They play in the river and the open field. They were given candies and invited to watch entertainers at the garrison. She's hoping those soldiers came home alive in Japan after the war and reunited with their family. But, we all know those were the dark times and everything was uncertain.

Question to people who live in countries that were part of Japanese empire during WW2: From the comments I picked up that many older people sing this song and it seems to me like they have some sentiment to it. I may not understand that correctly, but if Japan was the occupant, why this song is still popular?

[@SporadicToast]

Currently most people alive now were aged very young during the Japanese Occupation (upper age bounds of 10) and were told to memorize this in their classes. So this song is childhood nostalgia despite kinda being connected alongside Japanese war atrocities. (Philippines)

And that's only China, Japan also conquered the Korean peninsula, Taiwan, Phillipines, Indonesia, Singapore, and Burma. You may not like it, but those are the facts.

Im pretty sure that the picture at 1:42 belongs to an Asian Communist regime rather than the Japanese Empire. Their equipment resembles the Kalash weapons rather than any rifle equipped by the IJA

[@timsttyler7100]

Agree. I tried to reverse search the photo but I can’t find it. Also I don’t remember finding any automatic rifles in the IJA which matches with the ones in the image, but rather they look like SKS with a AK mag on it.
