Hirose Chusa

I'm Hirose Chusa, also known as Styx. I'm a music enthusiast who collects and translates interesting, rare and otherwise underappreciated foreign-language songs to English.

My main areas of interest are Japanese and Chinese songs, ranging from military music to movie/TV series soundtracks. Any political views expressed in the songs I upload are strictly not my own and I do not condone nor endorse militarism or extremism.

If you liked the Imperial Japanese songs on my channel, be sure to check out my friend Ivan55's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjBMh3VO57G5vklnTuVeHKA/featured, since he is also interested in translating rare Japanese gunka to English. His channel has many excellent songs, with some of them being joint-effort projects between me and him.

This channel is not monetized and all rights to the audio/video uploaded belong to their original creators. I am solely responsible for adding the translations.

Stay tuned for more content!
