Ironically, despite Japanese death metal's role in the triggering of WW 1, in August 1914, Japan sided with Britain.

Check out Japanese literature's multi-million Yen signing and local Tokyo boy Natsume Sōseki and his novels I Am a Cat (1905), Botchan (1906), Sanshirô (1908) and Kokoro (1914). These probably kept Japan from joining the Triple Alliance.
