“I thought the Olympic/Paralympic games would be a great occasion for me to talk about 君が代 Kimigayo, the national anthem of Japan”
After going through many obstacles, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics began from July 23rd and will continue until August 8th.
I thought that this would be a great occasion for me to talk about Japan's national anthem “君が代 kimigayo,” because you will surely be hearing it at the ceremonies.
I would like to explain the meaning of the song, by breaking down the lyrics and taking a closer look at when and how it was made.
Understanding what is sung in the national anthem will surely deepen your understanding towards the characteristics of Japanese people, and also the history of Japan.
Also, at the end of the video, I would like to introduce a problem regarding the national anthem; the conflict between the country and some groups of teachers who are fighting against the forcing of singing the national anthem at school ceremonies.
Today, the national anthem is seen by some people as a negative legacy that is a symbol of the colonial invasion eras...
