Notes:
月月火水木金金: 'On Duty Everyday" (Getsu-Getsu-Ka-Sui-Moku-Kin-Kin, literally "Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday"), is a Japanese war song during WWII. 日, 月, 火, 水, 木, 金, 土 are the days of week in Japanese - sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday respectively. The song title means working everyday (there is no weekend); during WWII, this was a song that praised hardworkingness.
一銭五厘: Postage was one sen and five rin during WWII in Japan. A Japanese soldier's life was only worth as much as postage, as draft cards were mailed to the qualifieds.
旗にな愧ぢぞ耻ぢなせぞ: Lyrics from the second section of Japanese war song 'Thousands of Enemies' (敵は幾万, Teki wa Ikuman). The lyrics were originally a poem titled 'Yamato Souls on the Battle' (戦景大和魂, Senkyo Yamatodamashii), which was included in a collection of poetry called 'Collection of Shintaishi' (新体詩選, "Shintaishi-Sen") published in 1886. The song was played before and after the victory announcements of the Pacific War.
進ミテ散ルコソ 身ノ譽: Lyrics from the third section of Thousands of Enemies. The original lyrics are '進みて死ぬるは身の誉れ', and the meaning is the same.
一億總: The population of Japan during WWII was around 1 hundred million.
玉砕瓦全: The term is from the Book of Northern Qi, which states ‘better break like jade than be an intact tile’ (寧為玉碎，不作瓦全).
回天: Kaiten (literally "Turn the Heaven", commonly rendered as "turn of the Heaven's will", "the heaven shaker") were crewed torpedoes and suicide craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of WWII.
欲シガリマセン勝ツマデハ: A common slogan during WWII.
贅沢ハ敵ダ: A common slogan during WWII.
討チテシ止マン: A common slogan during WWII, the original slogan was 'keep up the fight' (撃ちてし止まむ, uchiteshi yamamu, literally "we won't end the war until we defeat our enemy").
神風: Kamikaze (literally "divine wind" or "spirit wind"), officially 'Divine Wind Special Attack Unit' (神風特別攻撃隊, Shinpu Tokubetsu Kogekitai), were a part of the Japanese Special Attack Units of military aviators who flew suicide attacks for the Empire of Japan against Allied naval vessels in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of World War II, intending to destroy warships more effectively than with conventional air attacks. About 3,800 kamikaze pilots died during the war, and more than 7,000 naval personnel were killed by kamikaze attacks. The word also means acting recklessly.
