Kamikazetokubetsukōgekitai - Kamikaze Special Attack Corps Song
I know it’s a pretty long title. The word kamikazetokubetsukōgekitai means Kamikaze Special Attack Corps, although the official name of the unit was Tokubetsu Kōgekitai (Special Attack Unit) kamikazetokubetsukōgekitai (meaning divine wind Attack Corps) was the popular name which it was known with.
The person in the picture is Ensign Kiyoshi Ogawa, who flew his aircraft into USS Bunker Hill during a kamikaze mission on 11 May 1945
Due to a request I will post the kanji and romanji lyrics
Lyrics: (Romanji)
Munen no hagami kotae tsutsu
machinima machi taru kessen no
ima koso teki o hokuran to
furuitachi taru waka-sakura
kono isen ni kata zare ba
sokoku no yukute ika nara n
gekimetsu seyo no mei uke shi
kamikaze tokubetsu kōgeki tai
okuru mo iuku mo konjō no
wakare to shire do hohoemi te
bakuon takaku kichi o keru
ā kami washi no nikudan kō
taigi no chishio kumo some te
hisshi hicchū taiatari
tekikan nado te nogasu beki
miyo ya fumetsu no dai senka
gaika wa takaku todoroki kedo
ima wa kaera nu masurao yo
chihiro no umi ni shizumi tsutsu
naomo kōkoku no mamori shin
netsurui tsutau kao age te
kun o shinobu kuni no min
eikyū ni wasure ji sono na koso
kamikaze tokubetsu kōgeki tai
kamikaze tokubetsu kōgeki tai
Lyrics: (Kanji)
無念の歯噛み堪えつつ
待ちに待ちたる決戦ぞ
今こそ敵を屠らんと
奮い立ちたる若桜
この一戦に勝たざれば
祖国の行く手いかならん
撃滅せよの命受けし
神風特別攻撃隊
送るも行くも今生の
別れと知れど微笑みて
爆音高く基地を蹴る
ああ神鷲の肉弾行
大義の血潮雲染めて
必死必中体当り
敵艦などて逃すべき
見よや不滅の大戦果
凱歌は高く轟けど
今は帰らぬますらおよ
千尋の海に沈みつつ
なおも皇国の護り神
熱涙伝う顔上げて
勲を偲ぶ国の民
永久に忘れじその名こそ
神風特別攻撃隊
神風特別攻撃隊
