  • Although created in the 19th century to serve as a Japanese "Die Wacht am Rhein", Battotai didn't garner much attention until WW2 where it was considered as the military anthem by many soldiers.

    Fun fact:Today, this song is still in use by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Japan Imperial Guard Headquarters for their military parade.
    In Japan, many of the military songs of the former Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese navy are still inherited by the Self-Defense Forces.

      Not all of those songs were from the IJA/N times, a lot were from the times before. Like this one, it was from the Satsuma Rebellion in 1870s.

    For others who may not know:
    This song is written just after the Satsuma rebellion. Right after the beginning of the song, the lyrics praised "the enemy general" whose "bravery is equal to none". This enemy general is Saigo Takamori. He was a samurai general who resented the modernization of the Japanese military which erodes the samurai bushi class. Both the samurai rebels and the imperial army fought for the emperor but the emperor chose to side with the imperial army. After the rebellion was quelled, Saigo Takamori was posthumously pardoned by the emperor for his struggle to uphold Japanese traditions. They chose to die in the battlefield instead of surrendering their swords. For their valour and bravery, they were renowned and respected even by the army that defeated them

      no Saigo Takamori never resented the modernization actually japan has firearms since 1543 when the portuguese arrived in nagasaki, in fact the first thing that he made when he meet whith the other samurai of the rebellion was give them rifles to fight, the reason that they betrayed the emperor was becaouse he didn´t like to lose the samurai privilege like don´t need to pay taxes and have free rice

      This song has nothing to do with the war that toppled the Tokugawa Shoguns. At the time of the Satsuma Rebellion, the last civil war in Japan, the Japanese army consisted mostly of farmers and merchants, and they were afraid of the close-range sword fighting by the enemy, the former samurai class soldiers led by Saigo Takamori, and could not fight. Therefore, Toshiyoshi Kawaji of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department gathered former samurai class personnel and organized the Metropolitan Police Department Battoutai, which used swords in close-range combat, to fight against Saigo's forces. This song was composed to honor the Battoutai.

      Prior to Japan invading China or Manchuria, Japanese warriors were to respect their enemy however understand to not become them.
      Just a bit of history in case somebody didn't know.

      This was made way before Hirohito was alive, this was made in the Satsuma rebellion when the Samurai class rebelled against the imperial court. It was a war not one side really wanted against the other, hence the first lines; the samurais were brave and honorable in rebelling, however they will still be enemies of the empire, the imperial court, and the emperor.

    Are there other military songs applauding foes as warriors? Mostly it is like "my enemies are scums" such as Sacred War. A pretty neat idea so that the soldiers would be braver facing attacks.

      FYI this song is about Satsuma Rebelion. Saigo Takamori as the leader of the rebels was a great hero to the Imperial since he lead the Imperial army in Boshin war. The rebelion itself is about the government's plan to erase Samurai caste.
      Even rumors said before commiting Seppuku Saigo had one las bow towards Imperial palace and at the end his rebelion was pardoned and recognized as tragic hero

    This military song was originally composed for the police officers who fought as a death squad during the Civil War in 1877. For this reason, the Japanese police still use this song in their marches today.
