We will not stop till the enemy is dead!

Creepers: terrorists Bees:kamikazes

Interesting!

Ya the original one says "i can think of only my mothers face" on the last part or something like that

@Taurus Tong no, this is usually a scapegoat used particularly in the US. Most of the pilots ,as we can presume from the intense ultra nationalism in Japan at that time, were in fact volunteers.

This is why i named my channel this, in honor of the kamikaze pilots

"I don’t know if I am supposed to win this war but I will fight as much as I can, leaving my fate in your hands... I pray that we will see the day as soon as possible when we welcome a world in which we do not have to kill enemies whom we cannot hate. For this end, I would not mind my body being ripped apart innumerable times." (Miyazawa Kenji, quoted by Sasaki Hachiro - November 10, 1943) "There is some sign of a new ethos for a new era. However, even though the material foundation for the new era is already being built, we cannot help but notice the legacy of old capitalism. If the power of old capitalism is something we cannot get rid of easily but if it can be crushed by defeat in war, we are turning the disaster into a fortunate event. We are now searching for something like a phoenix which rises out of ashes. Even if Japan gets defeated once or twice, as long as the Japanese survive, Japan will not be destroyed. It looks as though we are 'a carp on the cutting board [sojouno koi].' I am not being pessimistic, but we cannot deny reality. We have to move on, overcoming the times of difficulty." (Sasaki Hachiro - May 14, 1943) "I do not want to die!... I want to live. No, I don’t want to die... I feel lonely. I don’t know why I feel so lonely." (Hayashi Tadao - November 26, 1940) "Ruining and crumbling Decadence Nothing will be left The end of all; All will crumble Japan will meet its finale That taboo Catastrophe." (Hayashi Tadao - 1945) "Illusions in the letters from my comrades Many beautiful illusions All beings are born of illusion And they all die into illusion... I sleep intoxicated by the beauty of amber-colored wine Illusion of peace-no, we must not laugh." (Matsunaga Shigeo - February 12, 1938) "I dreaded death so much. And yet, it is already decided for us... Mother, I still want to be loved and spoiled by you... I want to be held in your arms and sleep." (Hayashi Ichizo - April 12, 1945) As the lives and writings of pilots show, their desperate struggles to find meaning in a fate they could not avoid bear no resemblance to those of anyone seeking martyrdom. This is so despite the Japanese government’s sustained propaganda campaign to apotheosize those fallen soldiers into symbols of martyrdom for the imperial nation. This book sets aside the nationalist myths that governments on both sides of the war have constructed and places the kamikaze pilots in historical context and makes their voices and thoughts available to contemporary Americans, Japanese, and others in order to introduce the human beings and the anguished voices behind the caricature. Toward the end of World War II, when an American invasion of Japan’s homeland seemed imminent, Onishi Takijiro, a navy vice-admiral, invented the tokkotai (“Special Attack Force”) operation, which included airplanes, gliders, and submarine torpedoes (for details, see Ohnuki-Tierney 2002, 157-75). None of these manned weapons systems was equipped with any means of returning to base. Onishi and his right-hand men thought that the Japanese soul, which was believed to uniquely possess the strength to face death without hesitation, was the only means available for the Japanese to bring about a miracle and save their homeland, which was surrounded by American aircraft carriers whose sophisticated radar systems protected them from being destroyed by any other means. When the operation was instituted in October 1944, not a single officer who had been trained at the military academies volunteered to sortie as a pilot; all knew too well that it was a meaningless mission ending in death. Of the approximately four thousand tokkotai pilots, about three thousand were so-called boy pilots, who were drawn from among newly conscripted and enlisted soldiers who were enrolled in a special program aimed at training very young boys. Roughly one thousand were “student soldiers,” university students whom the government graduated early in order to include them in the draft. The writings left behind by the student soldiers who died in the tokkotai operation provide invaluable testimony to these young men’s struggle to sustain their connections to the rest of humanity amid the wrenching conditions of war and to fi nd meaning in a death they felt was decreed for them. Unfortunately, the boy pilots who faced the same fate left virtually no diaries or comparable records behind. The student soldiers who perished left a substantial body of handwritten documents expressing their thoughts and feelings: diaries, soliloquies, essays, poems, and letters. These extraordinarily well-educated youths were reflective and cosmopolitan. They drew on their knowledge of philosophy and world history as they tried to understand the situation in which they inadvertently but inescapably found themselves amid the global conflagration. Many of the student soldiers were political liberals, even radicals. They were most unlikely to volunteer as tokkotai pilots. These young men were exceptionally well educated, and reading and writing were their major daily activities. The particular situation these students faced in wartime, however, also made a difference: the diary became an important means by which they struggled to understand and come to terms with the imminent death they faced. These university students were drafted after the Tojo government, acting twice in quick succession, shortened the length of a university education. Once on the base, many were subjected to harsh corporal punishment on a daily basis. Some had been patriotic before they were drafted, but life on the base extinguished any enthusiasm for fighting-or for anything else, for that matter. They had already reached the point of no return. By the time they were drafted, Japan’s defeat was imminent. They had been dropped onto a malfunctioning rollercoaster fast descending toward a fatal crash, as it were, without the ability to either stop or safely ascend and go around again

BANZAI!

Kamikazes were stupid to throw away their lives. It didn't matter, Japan was crushed anyway.

Thank you!

Theres no such thing as a "perfect" translations all words are just expressions of certain things, often accumulations of different things. So I direct translation would sound garbled and extremely hard to sing plus very dull to listen to, but an "interpretation" can get the original meaning across and while staying coherent and enjoyable to the ear.

Tentsurushan is the onomatopoeic sound of the koto that plays during the song. The koto sounds like it is saying "tentsurushan". Pay attention to the melody/rhythm of the song.

It's true, I did have a crappy mic when I recorded this, but why a disgrace, if you don't mind me asking?

Maybe some songs are just better in their native languages, is what I understand. They ain't blaring dixie land in swahili. It's nothing personal, just maybe leave some things as they are and try and be a little more creative? Maybe write your own songs. I'm sure you could if you tried. And yes, the mic was definitely in need of a replacement.

you have a poorly drawn elephant as your profile picture, why are you complaining about levels of content that you will never reach?
