I have doubts, if pre-war Japan can be called a "fascist state". It surely was a nationalistic-authoritarian state, but fascism was something different.
Hello！ I am Tetsuya Nishibe, a Japanese composer. are you czech？ Japan during World War II is a little different from fascism. The military was in power, but there was no dictator. The emperor was not a dictator, not even the prime minister was a dictator. It also means that there is no strong leader. The same is true in Japan today.
Hello! Well, I am Polish :) I've read about Japan pre war and wartime politics, and as far as I know, there was indeed strong influence of the military to the governement, which was quite weak. And a rivalry between the Navy and Army ministries as well. Emperor Hirohito was not so strong like his grandfahter.... People these days are like to call any authoritarian regime fascist, regardless of whether it actually was one.... Pre war Poland also had a type of authoritatrain regime, called "Sanacja", started by Marshall Pisłudski. But still it was not a Fascism itself, or a totalitarian regime, like in pre war Italy, Germany or Soviet Union. Two regimes, because of my country had much suffered - first from the side of the Germans, then form the side of Russians... Greetings form Poland! By the way - you have really brilliant composers in Japan! :)

this is actually really good, just a few minutes in and already enraptured by it. I am going to listen to more from this composer for now..
What an amazing discovery! I certainly will play this over and over. Captures some good pre-WWII internationally inspired music.

Una obra agradable, aunque bastante conservadora y no de lo más original que escribió Ohzawa.
Why are usual, hostile messages from Chinese people absent here??
They are busy with sending hate to Americans right now.
Idk but I'm Chinese and I find this beautiful sounding
Stricken with the flu, I guess? : ))
Nah, it's usually Koreans who are always plaguing videos about Japan. They have an obsession or something.
Because music is a international language. I am Chinese and I must say I LOVE this great work by some unsunk musical heros from the Far East.
