It was sung by Yamaguchi Yoshiko (山口淑子 aka Li Xianglan 李香蘭 ) in the 1950 motion picture “暁の脱走 ” (Akatsuki no Dassō). In the scene, Harumi (Yamaguchi Yoshiko) was entertaining the solemn troops accompanied only by the accordion. Yoshiko stated that this was one of her favorite songs.

Japanese: 春高楼の花の宴 巡る盃影さして 千代の松が枝分け出でし 昔の光今いづこ 天上影は変はらねど 栄枯は移る世の姿 映さんとてか今も尚 ああ荒城の夜半の月 Haru kōrō no hananoen meguru sakazuki kage sashite chiyo no matsugae wake dedeshi mukashi no hikari ima idzu ko tenjōkage wa hen haranedo eiko wa utsuru yo no sugata Ei-san to teka imamonao ā Aragi no yohanotsuki English: In spring the flowers bloom on the high tower. The clanking wine glasses cast a shadow. A thousand young pines has branched out. Where is the light of the past? Heavenly shadows are strange. The destiny of the people of the world can rise and fall. You know, Ei-san remains the same. Ah, the moon in the middle of the night over the ruined castle.
