煌めく、我が旗よ (Our Flag is Shining) - Song of the Great Japan Youth Party

Ok, I need to clarify a couple of things.

First of all, the real name of this song is "ナチス青年の歌 (Nazi Youth Song)", but I decided to upload it here as "煌めく、我が旗よ (Our Flag is Shining) to reduce the chances of getting banned by YouTube.

Although they might do it for the background flag anyway... whatever, if that turns out to be the case, I can always re-upload it with the Imperial Japanese flag.

That was one thing I wanted to comment on, the other is that, properly speaking, this song was not recorded by the Great Japan Youth Party, but was made to commemorate the signing of the Anti-Comintern Pact by Japan, Germany and Italy; however, this version of the song existed when the party was operating.


The Great Japan Youth Party ("大日本青年党" or Dai-Nippon Seinen-tō) was a nationalist youth organization in the Empire of Japan.

This was founded by the ultranationalist activist Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto on October 17, 1937, after his temporary forced retirement from military service due to his participation in the failed coup attempt that would be known as the "February 26 Incident".

Hashimoto modeled the organization after the Hitler Youth of the German Reich, to the point of using a light brown color for members' uniforms and adopting a red banner with a white circle in the center as the party flag.

The stated goal of the party was to teach young Japanese basic survival skills, first aid, life skills, cultural lessons, traditions, and basic weapons training.

However, Hashimoto's primary intention was to create a young, idealistic group of supporters of the Imperial Way Faction ("Kodoha", a political faction of the Imperial Japanese Army that sought to establish a military government that promoted aggressive totalitarian, militaristic, and expansionist ideals).

Nevertheless, due to the increase in military recruitment due to the Second Sino-Japanese War and later the Pacific War, most of the young people were being recruited by the Japanese army and the number of members joining the party decreased below Hashimoto's expectations.

By October 1940, the Great Japan Youth Party fell under the general auspices of the Imperial Government Assistance Association (Taisei Yokusankai) organized by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe.

By 1945, at the end of World War II, the Great Japan Youth Party had become little more than a defunct youth wing of the Imperial Government Assistance Association, and was dissolved along with that organization by order of the authorities of American occupation.
