- On the waves of the Pacific,
Down south from the Imperial city
a small lonely islands floats.
The fate of our imperial country
Lies in the hands of this island,
Iwo Jima.
As long as we stand,
We shall feel safe,
As the imperial land shall forever be at peace.
We shall fight with pride
and honor at any price,
Our proud island, Iwo Jima.
Girls:I can't believe he didn't cry watching Titanic.
Boys:
Haha I love this meme
Only men can cry hard in this movie....
After this song, no one in Iwo Jima can think about surrendering anymore.
That... that hit me strongly.

I was in rokmc for two years as a marine and i love this comment as a soldier
General Kuribayashi : We need reinforcements.
Japanese Empire:Here a music choir from your hometown.
Arey buddy tum😅 accha laga kisi indian ko iss movie ke comment section main dekh ke...
The only thing which IGHQ could had done was this , they were even not able to provide air cover
You said it all.
So damn true, so many lives can be saved if Emperor just say sorry
@@user-qx2ed9op3i The military wouldn't allow it. They actually tried to stop the Emperor and attemped a coup when he decided to surrender.
What makes these scene so sad is that the general knows he can't successfully defend Iwo Jima. The song serves to highlight his failure, he was tasked with defending the island to keep his people on the mainland safe.
Those same children singing a song of encouragement are now at risk bec. he failed. That is a heavy burden to carry.
He knew well before he even got to the island that he won't be able to defend it forever. His goal was, as he stated it, to inflict as many casualties as possible so maybe the US won't dare to invade the Japanese mainland. I don't think he felt that he failed.
The tactical situation was impossible from the start. No air or naval support meant no supplies. He actually did a remarkable job. Resistance was expected to last less than a week. The American Admiral went on record to say the Japanese commander was "one smart bastard".
Eric Schlebus I looked it up and was surprised to find out that the battle lasted for five weeks.
@@TEAMRONALDO1 he casue more casulties to the american then his own with what little supplies and equipment he had
Patthon Sirilim impressive
This scene in the movie caught me off guard. I was already in tears knowing they were doomed to begin with, since they ran out of food and water but when this song played, I was breaking down. I can feel the pride for their homeland. They're not dying for nothing, they're fighting for the families sake. BEAUTIFUL!!! Clint Eastwood's BEST!!!
They could all hold their head up with pride. Nobody could have defended that island better, considering their circumstance.
These men fought for their home, for their families, absolutely true in their motivations. This was Japanese soil, they knew the next stop was the mainland.
But still, I can't help but disagree and say they did ultimately die for nothing. Japanese leadership knew the war was lost, they simply wanted to make an invasion so costly for the US that they could get a negotiated surrender, and in the end they surrendered unconditionally anyway. 20,000 Japanese lives wasted on that desolate rock, so senseless. I suppose that's war though; get soldiers to fight for noble reasons in the service of ignoble leaders.
Oh I thought it was a threat against the general kids
Chorando ou cagando ?

What made this scene so hard to swallow was the fact that children (which usually symbolizes innocence) are singing about war, about how the IJA/IJN will be victorious, when in fact, we, the audience as well as our characters, know quite well that victory is anything but possible.
I like how Letters From Iwo Jima shows the Japanese side of the war instead of the usual American side.
The Japanese side is that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Killing yourself instead of fighting to the end is the act of stupid people.
Flags of our Fathers cover that already
@@inigobantok1579 no, it doesn't. are you confused?
@scottmatheson3346 bro what are you on about. Letters from Iwo Jima shows the Japanese side, while Flags of our fathers shows the American side.
@@scottmatheson3346 Yes it does, both are directed by Clint Eastwood and are connected.
In fact, the guy who flamethrowers the pillbox in Letters from Iwo Jima is one of the characters in Flags of our Fathers.
I dont blame him for crying. Must have felt a sudden weight of Japan resting on his shoulders, as if he is the sole protector left, and at such a heavy duty, and a realization that the task ahead is inhumanely difficult, you cannot help but cry.
"We are sorry indeed we could not have defended the island successfully. Now I, Kuribayashi, believe that the enemy will invade Japan proper from this island. … I am very sorry, because I can imagine the scenes of disaster in our empire. However, I comfort myself a little, seeing my officers and men die without regret after struggling in this inch-by-inch battle against an overwhelming enemy with many tanks and being exposed to indescribable bombardments. … I would like now to apologize to my senior and fellow officers for not being strong enough to stop the enemy invasion."
:'(
Maybe don’t attack other countries and shit like that wouldn’t happen
@@chicagolineproductions2001 well I mean its not like Kuribayashi had any say in attacking the US. Just a good general with a tough job.
@@chicagolineproductions2001 these men died for their country, for a stupid reason tho, totally agree with you.
@@chicagolineproductions2001 or maybe don't provoke/force other countries to!
There's a lot to see that can't be seen! Imperial Japan had the courage to stand against! Bravo!
この美しいメロディーを聞くといつも泣きます！
i cry much from this
Banzaaaai
Honor and Respect the Japanese Soldiers... Greetings from Germany
We should remember the horror of war and try our best to avoid next one.
I am so grateful that both Japan and America chose to spare Taiwan from such a bloody battle.
Just for the peace we had, Taiwan will always sided with these two great powers.
I hope peace can be kept in West Pacific forever, so all people can live for their country and family instead of killing and dying for them.
@@user-qx2ed9op3i i agree

This scene always makes me cry :'(
it makes me have some flashback of a late veteran who my neighbor, he also fight in Iwo Jima. i often visit him since he live alone and i also like to hear his stories when in Iwo Jima
can you share the stories please ?
plss share it
Yes please share the story
I would like to hear that Veterans Story of Iwo Jima
my gf grandfather was also fought in this battle as a combat rifleman from 3rd Marine division,, yes definitely i wanna hear from the Japanese perspective of this sacred battle
This scene really shows how amazing an actor Ken Watanabe is, because when filming, there was no music playing, just silence, he had to go within. On another note, growing up, I was always forbidden to say "Banzai"
@Nathan Morrow When a country that commited something as severe as 9/11 on your people, invaded your allies and homeland, and proceded to commit massacres; pushing back nationalism makes sense. It's just how war works.
Also, the rising sun flag is still used, it's a wartime flag; you didn't do enough research. The IJA were brutal dogs, stop being blinded by it.
@@asgarihanif I mean it's still a cool flag
@Nathan Morrow You have to keep in mind that Japan did lot of cruel things during World War II. Like Unit 731. Unit 731 is basically a death camps like Nazis death camps in Germany, but in Japan. ( Location Manchukuo.) Where they did fucking evil experiment on people, testing biological and chemical warfare. Then , we got the Rape of Nanking or Nanjing massacre. Where it estimated 40,000 to over 300,000 Chinese were killed. Etc of Japan War crime. ( Should I even continue.) Like Germany, when nation do massacre, war crimes, slavery, put people in gas Chambers, do experiment on people and etc. There's nothing to be proud of when country do thing like this. it's not OK to do this. To make this worse. America helped bailout ( help them Escape Justice.) the people who are RESPONSIBLE for this war crimes. Both Germany scientist. and Japan scientists. Swallow that.
Don't get me wrong, I understand what you are trying to say. All Democratic , Republic countries or countries in general. Did positive things in their history. we shouldn't ignore and be proud of our dark history. We must learn from it, understand it. Learn from our mistake, Learn the lesson of life. ( Or other words the past.). looking towards the future to be better people, to be better human being, to be better species and not just that. Understanding the world around us.
You know nationalism and Patriotism are two different things, you know that right. Nothing wrong being patriotic for your country. Yes. It's true some countries are better than others. Some countries has better Laws like Denmark and Norway. Some has better culture like Japan and Mexico. Some countries has Better military like Russia and China. Some countries has better freedom like USA. ( I do think USA is better all three these things.) Each countries has Pros and cons.
But, the most important thing we have to remember as human being. As a species. We are all connected and we are all human beings living on this planet.

Haven't seen this movie in years but I came across this and it just reminded me of how great it is. Props to Clint for humanizing and showing the Japanese side.
1:11 that face you make when you want air support but got preschooler song instead.
K42292 HQ politely trying to tell you that your screwed....
Bah, Kuribayashi already knew of that fact long before.
In fact he even got support from a few brave Kamikaze pilots who killed over 300 American invaders.
lol
@@KouNagai hear hear
@@alpinorico2 committing suicide being lame is from your cultural point of view, and it's ''lameness'' has nothing to with the argument that japanese here had to fight in poor conditions, just like the americans fought in poor conditions in vietnam.
涙流れる歌だ。
It is a tearing flowing song.
very very brave men, knowing they face impossible odds and, yes, Japan weeps for them and honours them
A very provoking film and profoundly sad
I believe Iwo is off limits to crass tourism and the like..and so it should remain..perhaps Kuribayashi’s shade
wanders there still
Forever honoured..
I'm supposed to be a grown man soon, but I just cried the last 30 minutes of this movie straight. I don't care what anyone says, that is just how passionate I am about the subject. "swimfanatic88" and "sakai17" I am thankful to your relatives who fought. They may have even fought to kill my relatives, but it was all in the line of duty. They had their honor and they did what they did.
For me, it's the innocence of those children singing in an enthusiastic manner, joyfully even, but are truly unaware of their inevitable fate that's quickly closing in. It gets me all the time.
I think this particular scene can be attributed to Japan's growing desperation to protect its empire as children as little as a 5 year old are being involved in the war that they don't even understand what it's all about.
"defend ou county against a hated enemy" is easy to understand
they could very easily have protected their children by surrendering. they deliberately chose to sacrifice the lives of their children on the altar of their toxic notion of honor. Honor, not the wellbeing of their children, was their priority. Defend that if you want but don't obfuscate the moral question at hand.
@legomyaago In all fairness to the Japaneses defenders of Iwo Jima, most if not all of them were conscripted and sent there months before the battle began. None of them were responsible for the war crimes committed by the Japanese Empire and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere in China, Burma, the Philippines or other places.
Most of them were young men in their late teens or early 20s and older men. Their commanding officer was likewise not connected to any known war crimes.
"I NEED ARTILLERY NOW, COORDINATES AR-"
"Sorry but this current line is busy, please listen to this music while we put you on hold"
If you look at Iwo Jima from the Allies' point of view, it's a brutal sacrifice that ended the war. But if you see the island from the eyes of the Japanese people, you could feel the pain.
He is in tears because the weight of the whole nation is on him.
He also cries because Japan has never been successfully invaded in 2000 years & this probably is the 1st time!
clint eastwood also thought that Japanese were evil in ww2 but he changed his mind since he has reserched japanese military and soldirers,that both american and japanese soldiers were same
anyway , this is favorite part in this movie :)
Beautiful is right.
こういう映画を日本が作らなきゃっ！って言ってる人がいたのを思い出しました。
本当にその通りだと思います。
中国人とか怒るからダメですよ
Japanese BASTARD@@thenorthstarronin
this movie is defiantely in my top 5 movies of all time
I like BAMBI
May their departed souls rest in peace.
Beautiful song ! I love this beautiful film !
two masterpieces that have me in tears,letters from Iwo Jima and the last samurai.
When I saw this in the movie theatre, it brought me to tears.
such a beautiful movie, to this day...it's the only movie that ever made me shed tears. This scene in particular got to me. Long live peace
Yeah
ベストシーン😢
Every time I watch this video I feel a terrible pity upon the soldiers who fought there.
Got me teared up everytime I watched this scene
"Everything happens in thirds."
"Do what is right, because it is right."
After this song I don’t think anybody would surrender
this scence impacted my feeling so much in the movie.
this is the incredible movie.
i said that not becaust i'm nino's fan. but as Clint's fan.
he's the best!
i get gossebumps when i hear this
Something about this scene really makes me tear up. And i think it has to do with the fact that the children have so much innocence in their voices. In war innocence is gone... Whatever form of it doesnt exist .but back home children carry Innocence with them.
Very sad scene. So much responsibility and pressure on those men. Knowing that were going is makes it even sadder.
이 부분은 매번 볼때마다 눈물이 나오네
본토에서 멀리 떨어진 곳에서 적군과 싸우는데 이 노래가 흘러나온다니 정말 구슬프다
this is one of the best war movies of all time its sad and emotional but truely that stuff happened its sad
I am indian !! I too will not surrender to anyone after listening or getting motivation like this !! Fight till last breath !! Ready fight then surrender like coward!! United we stand no one can defeat us !!
maybe you missed the part where their stupid notion honor is what got their own children killed, or maybe you just don't care ...
Such a powerful moment in the movie.
this is a very beautiful song and it makes me sad that practically all of them died
I legitemately cried in this scene.
Japanese Officer: We need ammo and air support
HQ: Not available
Japanese Officer: GIVE US WHAT AVAILABLE!
HQ:Okay
HQ: *Send sad song*
Japanese officer:......
Who gives a shit if the US did something or not? Both sides fought bravely for their countries. They all deserve heaps of respect. Besides, the war is over now. Stop arguing over it.
Agreed
Right out of my mouth!
No.
this was one of the saddest movies ive ever seen this part was also sad I love this movie and it goes to show war is sad
I'm glad that Japan won the Peace. They have not known suffering on this level for at least 2 generations. For that, I am grateful.
unbelievably profound...yet encouraging at the same time to see such determination in the face of certain death.
this song is really nice, ihe movie is brilliant as well
He got the feels
This and Flags are some of the best WW2 movies ever made. Clint Eastwood really is the GOAT!
It was a hopeless battle for the Japanese although they fought well - as well as any soldiers in history.
But attacking Iwo Jima was in hindsight a mistake, like Peliliu before it. If any good came from Iwo, it was to show the American military what an invasion of the Japanese mainland would entail and perhaps hastened the decision to end the war using the A-bomb.
That song is so beautiful
This scene is sad, yes, but the japanese actually called the island of iwo jima Iwo To. Correct me if im wrong, though...
"Peace without war is unattainable, because war brings the need for peace."
Fuck I didnt think I would get this emotional
Thank you for the information about the song, I teared up when the song was played, it really work in the film indeed.
I cried when i watched that film. Its not right that japanese soldiers are bad in most films. Both sides thought that truth is on their side. Especially when the protected motherland.
This is sad So touching
This is my favourite scene from movie, and best
涙無しには聴けない
God Damn, Clint Eastwood makes the most depressing movies...
this was a good movie...i think im going to rewatch it
Tenno heika banzai !! Salute for you japan army
i felt really sorry for all those men who fought bravely to defend their motherland.. but sometimes war isnt that simple... rape, murder and other things. if there were a clean war, then i would call that war "A war of heroes". coz everyone is a hero. they fought to defend what they believe... May peace be spread in the future.
You need to get an education. Ever hear of Nanking?? Those were not Japanese heroes.
Apparently this actually happened. Allied radio interceptors/translators on American ships supposedly cried hearing this because they knew the Japanese were ready to fight so hard for the island and their country but it would be a lost cause as the Americans were too powerful and consequently an extremely high unnecessary number of Japanese would lose their lives.
How to tell your people they aint coming back, without actually saying it.
Great scene i cryied the first time i saw it.....
Our good allies, you fought till the end 😭😭😭
i honestly cried on this part
Beautiful
If the Japanese Armed forces were behaved in well mannered during the war,and seen as liberator(from western power to their colonies)rather than conquerors. Most of Asian and South east Asian peoples were gladly join the Japanese nation cause. Sadly...
They dont.and thats why they loses the War...
RIP to soldiers and Civilians whom fell victim to the bloody wars.
(For each side of every nation that get involved)
as a Japanese, I completely agree
特に今の中華人民共和国（共産党）
日本軍はそう行動しましたが、中華人民共和国のPRIDEは日本を認めなかった 他の国の殆どは日本に協力しました
this just shows most civilians care about the troops and appreciate them no matter wat army wat country they care about them unlike others who talk trash about them im talking about US army and westboro clan who pray to god everyday that the soldiers die and their not terrorists.
Children that live in peace can't understand the true meaning of war. Lucky them!
PRIDE RESTS WITH THE ONES LOYAL TO THEIR CULTURE NOT THE ONES WHO DESPISE THEIR OWN CULTURE CITING THE SUPERIORITY OF FORIEGN CULTURES
@hello sure, send me your prescription
pride is a sin, and if you belong to a toxic culture you should despise it. never put tribalism ahead of truth.
I hear this shit its gonna be To the last man.
Ah I remember this... it was sad D: I kinda thought, "What happens to all the other thousand men dying? Not all of them will be remembered huh..."~
battle of iwo jima really happened. ask any us marine about iwo jima. it is one of the hardest battle marines have ever fought
It just shows that there is both good and bad in people.
硫黄島防備の歌
Does anyone know what the name of this song is called?
この曲名前は？教えてください💖🥺
硫黄島防備の歌 ^^
It was hard for imperial soldier to bear the burden... It's just all soldiers in general being sent to fight for there country, i am not saying all of them...
“A noble journey to oblivion”. Sooo utterly sad their cause was in vain and that so many had to die to secure this island.
RIP to those brave Marines.
did this really happen or was it jus for the movie?
Actually happened.
That was a very well done scene...... makes you think
good movie, worth buying thrice.
one for keeps
one for borrowing
and another to carry around(just in case)
The emperor: I dont have soldiers, fvck off, but i have kids singing.
There was a song..and it was this song.
tubers!
who hasn't read this whole topic, do so...it just proves one thing. people are STILL looking for "the bad guys" from WW2. I'd just like to say that war is war and there are NO good guys and NO bad guys because BOTH sides fight for THEIR beliefs. and thus, people who find a bad guy or a good guy, are just seeing one side of the cube. take a moment and see the other 5 sides, too.
@akropiss Yeah, yeah, like the allied soldiers never committed atrocities themselves.
And my great-grandfather was an allied soldier, and he told my grandfather about many atrocities he saw committed by both sides. It gave him a very cynical view of anything 'good' in a war.
Just a reminder what else they are fighting for.
gr8 song
Beautiful Video!probably Kuribayashi is now in bewteen the gods!
Chanson magnifique est-ce que quelqu'un aurait des paroles en romanized what a wonderful song anybody got the lyrics in romanized
@Eddtastic100 Actually, the Japanese were invading the Chinese at the time of the oil embargo. If Japan didn't invade China, then it wouldn't have happened. Japan then would have invaded the Dutch East Indies (Malaysia, Borneo, ect...). There's a reason why the U.S put the embargo against Japan. Before the war even started. Look up the Nanking massacre in 1937.
