Dai Nippon Teikoku Kaigun BANZAI!!

I remember Japans past glory. One day this song will play when Japan regains its real Army, without the United States in Okinawa. Glory to the Emperor and his men!

I served in the Finnish Navy in the late eighties, and I know this song. Never had idea it was originally Japanese. The Self-Defence Forces have a beautiful march!

Forget about all the Imperial Japanese's glory which was totally nonsense (and laughable) but THIS song inherits a good tradition of the Navy, and our spirit.

@jdewitt77 You are right...in battles like Matapan or Spartivento, that was so, also, when the Roma was sailing to internment, she was sunk by a German glide-missile, & I believe the admiral went down with her...also Gunther Lutjens, Admiral aboard the Bismark & RAdm Bey in North Cape with the Scharhorst force...yet, Japanese Admirals chose in great majority to fight to the Last...

[granskare]

a great march which is always nice to hear :)

[noblespuede]

Thank you for understanding.  I think this March is terrific just as good as any in the world. I am pround to have lived those days in Japan and hoping to revive the Japanese military. I am an old lady.

Some Italian admirals went down with their ships during World War II.

[sbchelldiver]

a proud song of a proud Navy, that for the most part fought honourably & with great sense of self respect...where else would you see Admirals go down with their ships???

yet the imperial navy had female pilots go fig lol

Tokichi Setoguchi was one of the greatest band-masters next to United States Marine band-master John Phillip Sousa. To bad there are no more band-masters anymore :(

Is that a female sailor? Sorry, I didn't recognize her. Old Imperial Navy never allowed female sailers. I am accumstomed to the idea.
