Commissioned by the 7th Band of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF), this march premiered on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at the JGSDF Camp Higashi-Chitose in Chitose City, Hokkaido, during the 70th Anniversary Ceremony of the 7th Division and the 71st Anniversary of Camp Higashi-Chitose. The performance was conducted by Captain Takashi Endo.

Taking inspiration from the name "7th Division," "Brave Seventh" symbolizes courage and strength. Also being an armored division, the 7th Division's powerful image is portrayed through dynamic musical depictions of tanks rumbling across the earth. The trio section features a noble and heartfelt melody expressing gratitude to the predecessors and local communities who have supported the division. The work closes with a hopeful vision of the future.
