This study examined the aspects and historical roles of anti-Japanese songs created and sung during the activities of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai, China, which resisted Japanese imperialism’s invasion of Korea. It is intended to clarify the reality and significance of cultural and artistic independent activities by analyzing the types and contents of anti-Japanese songs sung at various commemorative events held by the provisional government. First, the Shanghai Provisional Government celebrated March 1, the day of the declaration of independence, as a national holiday, and August 29 as a national Humiliation day. In addition, October 3 of the lunar calendar was established as “Foundation Day” and commemorative events involving temporary government factors were steadily held. At the site of this anniversary event, various anti-Japanese songs, including “The National Anthem,” were made and sang together to strengthen their will to resist Japanese. Second, the March 1st Independence Day event was held as a “celebration ceremony to commemorate the Declaration of Independence” in which lawmakers, government ministers, and students gathered within the parliamentarians. Participants sang “The National Anthem” based on the tune of “Auld lang Syne,” and mainly sang “Samiljeolga” and “Independence Army Song.” Independence Army Song is a representative Manchurian independence army song that was sung a lot in the 1910s, and the tune is borrowed from the American military song “Marching Through Georgia”. Third, on August 29th, the National Humiliation Day, “National Humiliation Song” and “National Humiliation Memorial Song” were mainly sung. On October 3rd of the lunar calendar, great religious figures and government factors attended the National Foundation Day and mainly sang “Shinga”. Fourth, various forms of memorial songs, including Requiem, were sung at an event to commemorate the martyrs who died during the independence movement. The memorial song was later sung at every event with a tune and was handed down as an anti-Japanese song.
