Another confusing translation bit: My version of Dead Soldiers is titled just like that, while here it's Dead Soldiers (Shō). So I put the kanji into Google translate, and it says it means "lol". That's right, the "laugh out loud" kind of "lol".

Confused, I kept searching and came across a cover of it on YouTube, where it was titled Dead Soldiers (Warai). So I searched "warai" and came across this page that tries to explain what it means. It also means laughing, kind of. More like mocking, and it evolved to refer to women who followed trends, then into referring to women who are easily swayed by sweet foods and candy.

I can't recall where it played, but judging by the sound of the song, and the title, it's likely referring to Sawako.

I just put the kanji we have for "shō" into a kanji to romaji translator, and it said it's "Emi". Apparently her name means "laugh", though another one said it's "smile". Another romaji translator actually says it's "warai".

Given everything, I think it's "warai".
