March in the SnowNagai Tateko

This is a song heartfeltly woven by Takeshi Nagai, a Japanese Army officer and composer, born from his harsh experiences while serving in the First Sino-Japanese War.

Unlike the previously triumphant strains of traditional military songs, this piece sets the soldiers’ raw emotions—hunger, cold, and a chest-tightening sense of despair as they advance through the snow—to a somewhat melancholic yet brisk melody that uses the yo scale (pentatonic without semitones).

It is said to have been composed around February 1895, and its melody can be heard on albums such as “Immortal Masterpieces of Japanese Marches, Vol.

2.” It is memorably featured in the film “Mount Hakkoda” and the anime “Girls und Panzer,” and remains etched in many people’s memories as a theme that reflects both harsh conditions and the hearts of those living within them.

When you wish to ponder deeply the power of music born from history and the stories behind it, why not listen quietly?

You’ll want to listen to it on a leisurely winter night while gazing out the window.
