Battōtai – Epic Japanese Military March (Dark Orchestral Cover

Experience the legendary Japanese military march “Battōtai” in a dark, epic orchestral remake. Originally composed in 1887 by Charles Leroux with lyrics by Toyama Masakazu, Battōtai was inspired by the Drawn-Sword Regiment that fought in the Battle of Tabaruzaka during the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion. The original poem from 1882, written by Toyama, reflects the warrior spirit, loyalty, and courage of soldiers facing overwhelming odds—drawing thematic influence from “The Charge of the Light Brigade.” [2](https://genius.com/Russian-men-choir-...)
