music

Japanese Ministry of Defence and each Japanese Self Defence Force unit make public marches and the song of Self Defence Force. While that, each unit composes and make the song of unit. In Defence Academy, the song of all units is sung because this academy trains the executive members of Ground, Maritime and Air Self Defence Force in the future. The musical bands of each unit often hold a regular concert and other activities.

Introduction of my favorite musics

“Ozora” : This music was composed and played for the first anniversary ceremony of the Police Reserve Force.

“Battotai” : This music described the achievements of the Drawn Sword Squad in during the Seinan Warn and was writen by Seiiti Sotoyama. And, this music was composed by Charles Edouard Gabriel Leroux. This music is the martial music on the earlist state and full dress European music so this music had an impact on many music after this season. This is much accomplished work and sung by many people.

“Husoka” : This music was composed by Charles Edouard Gabriel Leroux too. Husou expresses Japan, and this music praises and cheers Japan and Japanese.

Army marches : This music is the symbol of Japan Self Defence Force, and constructed of “Battotai” and “Husoka”. The first half is the arrangement of Husoka, and the another half is the arrangement of Battotai but most of this music is constracted of Battotai. In the World War Ⅱ, the Japanese intelligence office ordered to exclude the musics of enemy countries, but Japanese government hid the name of Charles Edouard Gabriel Leroux and this music was played openly.

Warship March “Gunkan” : This is the music that is remade from the march had been made by the Navy Department. At Maritime Self Defence Force's march and ceremony for example the launching of a ship, this music is played. This music was very popular music and used as back ground music of Pachinko and Slot shop. And, this music is very popular in other many countries too so used as the back ground music of commercial messages, many shops and so on.
