HW 11-14-14
Japan's national anthem. I found it extremely peaceful and actually really nice. It is not militaristic at all. It does sound like old-fashioned Japanese. It's short and sweet and doesn't talk about bombs, war, killing, or anything other than peace and tranquility. It's all about nature and just existing, not destroying Britain or seeing through the night because of explosions (which is pretty cool, but still). It's all about nature.
Lyrics:
君が代は
千代に八千代に
さざれ(細)石の
いわお(巌)となりて
こけ(苔)の生すまで
or
May your reign
Continue for a thousand, eight thousand generations,
Until the pebbles
Grow into boulders
Lush with moss
