Imperial Japanese military songs
(gunka/軍歌) in WW2
* 日本軍の勝利は1937年南京行進 - Victory Procession in Nanking 1937
from the "Nanjing Nanjing" (南京 南京) movie (2009)
Isoroku Yamamoto (山本五十六) shot down
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was the mastermind of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Before he was shot down, his itinerary was radioed in plain text (on purpose!?), and intercepted by US Navy.
Isoroku means 56 in Japanese: he was thus named because when he was born as the 6th son, his father (a samurai) was 56 years old.
The Imperial Japanese and Nazi German armies were tough in the war.
Military songs/music was part of the inspiration. Let's get a feel.

* 父よあなたは強かった - you are tough, papa/husband/brother (when things get tough)
* 出征兵士を送る歌 - seeing the soldiers off to battlefield proudly
