I understand that this is a kind of spirit Toyota has been practicing for decades. There is much to learn from this song even now. This song is somehow related to a spirit of "Mottaunai".
As Rear Admiral R. Ichimaru of the Imperial Japanese Navy states in his note to Roosevelt, Japan has encountered a number of crises as well as the undesired conflicts with the other nations. Now, it is time for us to think again who was aggressive and who was not aggressive.
Here is a translation of the note sent to President Franklin Roosevelt by Rear Admiral R. Ichimaru of the Imperial Japanese Navy before he was killed in action in Iwo Jima on March 1945.
During this period of intercourse Nippon has met with many national crises as well as the undesired Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, the World War, the Manchurian Incident, and the China Incident. Nippon is now, unfortunately, in a state of open conflict with your country.
Judging Nippon from just this side of the screen you may slander our nation as a yellow peril, or a blood thirsty nation or maybe a protoplasm of military clique.
Though you may use the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour as your primary material for propaganda, I believe you, of all persons, know best that you left Nippon no other method in order to save herself from self-destruction.
His Imperial Highness, as clearly shown in the “Rescript of the Founder of the Empire” “Yosei” (Justice), “Choki” (Sagacity) and “Sekkei” (Benevolence), contained in the above three fold doctrine, rules in the realization of “Hakko-ichiu” (the universe under His Sacred Rule) in His Gracious mind. The realization of which means the habitation of their respective fatherlands under their own customs and traditions, thus insuring the everlasting peace of the world.
Emperor Meiji’s “The four seas of the world that are united in brotherhood will know no high waves nor wind” (composed during the Russo-Japanese War) won the appraisal of your uncle, Theodore Roosevelt as you yourself know.
We, the Nippon-jin, though may follow all lines of trade, it is through our each walk of life that we support the Imperial doctrine.
We, the soldiers of the Imperial Fighting Force take up arms to further the above stated “doctrine”.
Though we, at the time, are externally taken by your air raids and shelling backed by your material superiority, spiritually we are burning with delight and enjoying the peace of mind.
This peacefulness of mind, the common universal stigma of the Nippon-jin, burning with fervour in the upholding of the Imperial Doctrine may be impossible for you and Churchill to understand.
Nippon in retaliation to your imperialism tried to free the oriental nations from your punitive bonds, only to be faced by your dogged opposition. You now consider your once friendly Nippon a harmful existence to your luscious plan, a bunch of barbarians that must be exterminated.
The completion of this Greater East Asia War will bring about the birth of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Area, this in turn will in the near future result in the everlasting peace of the world, if, of course, is not hampered upon by your unending imperialism.
The existence of the East Asia Co-Prosperity sphere does not in anyway encroach upon your safety as a nation, on the contrary, will sit as a pillar of world peace ensuring the happiness of the world. His Imperial Majesty’s true aim is no other than the attainment of this everlasting peace.
Studying the condition of the never ending racial struggle resulting from mutual misunderstanding of the European countries, it is not difficult to feel the need of the everlasting universal peace.
Present Hitler’s crusade of “His Fatherland” is brought about by no other than the stupidity of holding only Germany, the loser of the World War, solely responsible for the 1914-1918 calamity and the deprivation of Germany’s re-establishment.
It is beyond my imagination of how you can slander Hitler’s program and at the same time cooperate with Stalin’s “Soviet Russia” which has as its principle aim the “socialization” of the World at large.
If only the brute force decides the ruler of the world, fighting will everlastingly be repeated, and never will the world know peace nor happiness.
Upon the attainment of your barbaric world monopoly never forget to retain in your mind the failure of your predecessor President Wilson at his heights.
実際日本はアメリカによる制限で石油輸入および物資輸入分の約90%を失っていたらしいです。
それでもアメリカから日本を守れたのはこのような皆の協力の賜物だと思います。

金と豊かさ,経済大国に成り上がったという一時の奢りではないでしょうか?
・・・少し酔ってしまったのでしょう^^。
しかし全国民が酔ってしまってるわけではないと思います。しらふの国民もいると思います。
それに豊かさゆえに失ったものもあると思いますが,豊かさによって知りえた事もあると思います。 私は佐賀の山奥育ちですが,都会に出張に行く度に,これが日本か?我が国か?と情けなくなります。
明治生まれの曽祖父,大正生まれの祖父,戦後生まれの父に非情に厳しく優しく育てて頂いた事を誇りに思います。
我々は不景気に育ち,氷河期に芽ばえ,草食と言われておる世代ですが,向上心も気概も根性も持っているつもりです。
それは口伝された事もですが,世の中のあらゆる情報源から豊かな情報を知り,
先人の意志,覚悟,信念が知らぬ間に自分の血肉となっているからだと思います。

I hereupon pitying your spiritual feebleness pen a word or two.
Judging from your actions, white races especially you Anglo-Saxons at the sacrifice of the coloured races are monopolizing the fruits of the world.
In order to attain this end, countless machinations were used to cajole the yellow races, and to finally deprive them of any strength.

Why is it that you, an already flourishing nation, nip in bud the movement for the freedom of the suppressed nations of the East.

見習うべきところはありますが3番の歌詞をよく見てみると強制貯金のことが書かれています。
貯金となっていますが敗戦してデノミが行われたことにより発行していたお金は紙切れになりました。(国家が発行した不渡り手形のようなものです)
これは今日、労働者への強制貯金の禁止となって改められました。
