Japanese WWII military song
 is a Japanese "gunka" (composition of military music) During the late stages of the Pacific War, it was sung throughout Japan. It compares cherry blossoms with the destiny of soldiers who graduated from a military academy. The song was composed by Nōshō Ōmura. Although Yaso Saijō was thought to have written the original lyrics, he did not write the lyrics directly.
Originally released as in 1939, the third and fourth verses were not added along with the original first, second and fifth verses until around 1944. In the revised version, the story of two "kamikaze" pilots was established. In the song, although a pilot dies, his bond with another surviving pilot remains strong. Before their mission, "kamikaze" pilots would sing "Dōki no Sakura" together.
