What are you listening to right now?

Yeah... We did get it that you are eating margerita for breakfast

I know I know, Anime girls, but trust me. If you like military marches, this is a well done, and amusingly upbeat rendition an Imperial Japanese Army March from 1895 from the Sino-Japanese war.
 
In case you are interested, the upbeat march is singing about some very unpleasant stuff.

Marching in the snow, stepping on ice

We can't even tell road from river

The horses are beaten, but we can't leave them

Just what is this place? It's all enemy country

Oh well, if we breath a little bravery

I'll only ask for little: a couple ciggies.


Verse 2

Dried fish that won't cook becomes our half-boiled meals

It's not long before we're living half-boiled days

For this cold that can't be endured, a bonfire

Surely it will smoke, chaps! The green wood smoulders

Putting on a bitter face, a skilful speech:

The "sour" thing here's a pickled plum.


Verse 3

The clothes we wear are our carefree beds

We cover under our overcoats on knapsack pillows

With the warmth of our backs, the snow thaws,

Soaking wet our millet-husk bedding.

In bivouacs that won't tie, there are dreams

That the moon peeks into, coldly.


Verse 4

Because we came here offering our lives,

With a death resolution, even as we charge shouting,

If the fortunes of war so wish, we must die in battle.

The donated padded clothes, entwined in duty,

Slowly, slowly, fasten upon our necks.

Anyhow, the intention wasn't to let us return alive.
