Momotaro, Sacred Sailors Page #2

Synopsis: This animated film--Japan's first--was a propaganda piece made to show the Japanese public how the Japanese military had achieved such decisive victories in the South Pacific. It tells the story of young Japanese boys from their school days to their joining the army and fighting against Japan's "enemies" and shows how the animals in the jungle--meant to symbolize the residents of the Asian countries the Japanese conquered--welcomed the Japanese army's "liberating" them from their western masters.

"That may well be.

These are the commercial ways

of our country."

"This is our custom."

The king of Goa

fought well till the end.

But in the end he was defeated,

and the pirates looted the island.

There is a stone tablet

in the deep jungle.

It has a carved message.

"In bright moonlight,

a sacred soldier will come

from the East atop a white horse.

He will free the people."

Go and run, run and go!

Look over the wings, and go

Run faster, go further

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Use your body and legs, and run

Run faster and go further

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Run, everyone

Chocks away!

Chocks away!

--Chocks away!

--Chocks away!

Several thousand miles

from my own land

Across the ocean,

deep into the enemy's camp

We have trained our bodies

to be as hard as steel

Wings, take us across

the skies to our target

Fly ever onwards and

make good our advance

Bloom, O faithful parachutes

"30 minutes to the drop. Good luck.

--The Captain"

30 minutes to go.

Put on your parachutes.

Ready to jump.

Jump!

Fire!

Attack!

Who commands Devil's Island?

Where is your leader?

Then we shall regard you

as the officer in charge.

What of the northwest coast

and the mountains?

You are wasting my time.

The Japanese navy

will attack now.

Any more talk is useless!

I will not wait until 10.

You must surrender now.

I'm ordering a general attack.

You must submit to

unconditional surrender.

Or continue to fight.

Your choice.

Next.

Next.

Next!

Come on, hurry!

"THE END"
