Sakurakai, or Cherry Blossom Society (桜会, Sakurakai?) was an ultranationalist secret society established by young officers within the Imperial Japanese Army in September 1930, with the goal of reorganizing the state along totalitarian militaristic lines, via a military coup d'état if necessary. Their avowed goal was a Showa Restoration, which they claimed would restore the Emperor Hirohito to his rightful place, free of party politics and evil bureaucrats in a new military dictatorship.
The Sakurakai was led by Imperial Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto, then chief of the Russian section of the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff and Captain Isamu Cho with the support of Sadao Araki. The society began with about ten members, active-duty field grade officers of the Army General Staff, and expanded to include regimental-grade and company-grade officers, so that its membership increased to more than 50 by February 1931, and possibly up to several hundred by October 1931. One prominent leader was Kuniaki Koiso, future Prime Minister of Japan.
I don't need your contradictions
I'm not gonna play that role
I don't need you telling me i've got my back against the wall
If all i've got is everything and everything is all you want
If I give you just a little bit you're gonna try to take it all
I feed my anger with the fucking bullshit that you preach
I bleed forever and not a thing you do can comfort me
Obey authority
Live in conformity
I do for you what you do for me
I don't fear the confrontation
I'm not afraid to take the fall
I'm not gonna step aside i'm not letting you make the call
If everything is all i've got and everything is what you want
