「新嘉坡陥落の歌」— Song of the Fall of Singapore (1942) | Lyrics + English Translation

Composed in early 1942, 「新嘉坡陥落の歌」 (Song of the Fall of Singapore) celebrated one of Imperial Japan’s most dramatic victories during World War II — the fall of Singapore after the rapid Malayan campaign.

The song reflects the atmosphere of shock, triumph, and wartime propaganda that followed Japan’s capture of Britain’s “Gibraltar of the East.”

Through its lyrics, we hear how the event was portrayed to the Japanese public: as proof of military strength, destiny, and national pride.
