The moral of this song: make love, not war. War consumes all and those who are left live in constant fear of more war (the cage of steel) and eventually begin to prepare for more war (the guillotine) and look for ways to end it as decisively and swiftly as possible (the raygun)
Fun fact: for those who don't know, The Meaning behind this song is about Meiji Restoration, First Sino-Japanese War and Boshin War(Japanese Civil War)
@evilpemis yeah this song has some weird meanings. I do like the song but I'm not a fan of the right leaning and nationalistic theme. I'm genuinely hoping that the song is just made to sound nationalistic/militaristic and KuroUsa isn't actually a Japanese nationalist.
@@goofboof1284lmao why is a man being proud of his nation a bad thing? This song is clearly nationalistic and there's nothing wrong with that. You act as if the only thing nationalism did for Japan was make it the warmongering nation it is in WW2 when nationalism was also responsible for it's development from a feudal state to a modernized one in the late 19th century.
@adambrande nationalism ≠ patriotism Being proud of your country and heritage is not the same as being devoted to one specific group(in this case, those that have Japanese heritage). Being a nationalist is a problem because you're only devoted to one specific group, and that's a problem. This song glamorizes imperialistic, nationalistic, and militaristic values, and has anti-foreign sentiment. This song also glorifies the Meiji and Taishō eras, which are often praised for being "authentically Japanese" Defending nationalistic and imperialistic values(especially when it's coming from a far right country like Japan) is still bad, it doesn't matter if anything "good" came out of it
A little thing I just realized. Miku's skirt is held up by suspenders, which is the traditional way of just about all militaries to have their uniform trousers remain up in lieu of a belt. That is attention to detail and I love it.
@@peculiarpig Throughout the second half of the last millennia, Japan has repeatedly resisted intrusions from foreign empires, who've attempted to westernize and colonize them. This climaxed in a feeling of ultra nationalism in the 19th and early 20th century, where Japan was essentially proving to Europe that it could be an empire too, and would not be colonized by the west like countless other nations. This song reflects this era, but in a very romanticized manner. Japan's imperial expansion boiled down to being needlessly violent to other Asian countries simply to prove a point and to feel superior. Nonetheless, I respect Japan, who've managed to keep a very distinct cultural identity whilst never being properly colonized.
@@SynGirl32 you gotta admit though that it really sucks how much damage Japan did to China and Korea because of their nationalism and desire to not be colonized. Resist the oppressor always, but don’t resort to committing actual war crimes to prove to the west how powerful you are. (There’s a reason why the rising sun symbol is so controversial in Korea...)
I showed this to my 70 year old Japanese grandma and she loved it “Dancing anime girl” is now her favorite singer Edit: many people have asked how my grandma knows what anime is.

Hey so I grew up in Japan from 2008-2014 and in middle school a lot of my classmates would go to karaoke to sing Senbonzakura and other vocaloid songs that we’re popular during 2011-2014. When I asked them what the song meant they didn’t really know and said it just sounded cool. The lyrics are mostly consisted of old fashioned Japanese words that no one really uses anymore.
@@hyperboule2660 The word bravo also exists in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. In all these four languages this word has similar meanings, perhaps in other languages it also exists.
This video is full of memes but some of them didn't realize that this song is about one of the bloodiest revolution in the history of Japan. Anti- western revolution
Interesting! I hadn't even read the lyrics yet! :O I guess this is why webtoon author of phantom paradise used this, even more interesting! :00✨ (definitely a webtoon to check out :'3)
@@gimmethehealth7058 exactly But some slight changes within this song is questionable First is the ICBM which it's used during cold war so why so this song is Pretty confusing it could be Meiji Restoration WW2 or any other war. One thing is for sure this song is slightly violent so it might be a combination of some Japanese history.
Gimme The Health Man the world wars really fucked up our perspective on human lives. “Only 5K” like yeah it’s no where near the ten thousands dead in a single battle in any of the world wars, but we still need to remember that each person is an individual, and not a statistics.
This song is actually a bit sad. You can understand it by looking at the lyrics: 日の丸印の二輪車転がし / Riding a two-wheeled vehicle with the rising sun emblem 悪霊退散ICBM / Dispelling evil spirits with ICBMs 環状線を走り抜けて / Passing through the circular line 東奔西走なんのその / It's just going back and forth It speaks of Japan's modern democratization under U.S. command, still unable to escape the shadows of servitude and war (ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile), but note that it uses "evil spirits begone" (implying the U.S. security umbrella) instead of its own military force. 少年少女、戦国無双 / Boys and girls, unrivaled in the Warring States 浮世の随に / Following the trends of the world 千本桜、夜ニ紛レ / Thousands of cherry blossoms, lost in the night 君ノ声モ届カナイヨ / Your voice can't even reach here 此処は宴、鋼の檻 / This is a feast, a steel cage その断頭台で見下ろして / Look down from that guillotine 三千世界、常世之暗 / Three thousand worlds, darkness of the afterlife 歎ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ / Even the lamenting songs can't be heard 青藍の空、遥か彼方 / Azure sky, far beyond その光線銃で打ち抜いて / Pierce through with that ray gun Here it is said that those who die in battle become fertilizer for thousands of cherry trees but are forgotten (melting into the night), even the voices of the departed cannot be heard. There are various interpretations, but most people would agree that the innocents sacrificed in war are forgotten, only able to "melt into the night" under the cherry trees. "Cage of steel" refers to the wartime nationalistic military system; the meaning of "guillotine" is very clear, that is, the murderous war machine; the "ray gun" (originally 光線銃) suggests the atomic bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by Americans. We must remember that the suffering of the people during WWII was ultimately ended by atomic bombs. This year marks the 71st anniversary of the end of "that war" (a term used in Japan to reluctantly refer to WWII, showing how much they detest war). Especially at this time, we should remember. Particularly the relatives of those who died in the war, who could only say "Mr. XX died for the Emperor’s honor," how twisted human nature can be, truly "Even the song of lament cannot be heard." Only a few extreme right-wing nationalists might see this as a reason to fight and reclaim honor, but most people, especially in the Chinese-speaking regions, would certainly not see it that way. 百戦錬磨の見た目は将校 / The appearance of a seasoned officer いったりきたりの花魁道中 / The hustle and bustle of the courtesan procession アイツもコイツも皆で集まれ / Let him and her gather together 聖者の行進 わんっ つー さん しっ / The march of saints, one, two, three, four This passage, when viewed with the accompanying video, first has a blackout with "black rests", followed by the appearance of soldiers, geishas, students, and other Western-dressed individuals, representing various aspects of Japan (military, cultural, educational, etc.), accompanied by relatively obscure imagery and dark tones (卍 宅魔 卍, 2011), representing the prelude to war, where no one can stop the advance of those who claim to be "saints" (homophonic with righteous or evil, living beings), saying "One Two Three Four" (the first two represent the more Westernized Meiji and Taisho eras, sung in Japanese, three and four representing pre and post-WWII Japan of the Showa era). Here, we can mention the Incident of February 26th, which led Japan into total war: The Incident of February 26th, 1936, occurred on February 26th, 1936, in Japan, involving a rebellion of 1,483 young army officers, a failed coup d'état launched by Imperial Way Faction military personnel. Basically, both factions supported Japanese militarism, but the control faction led by Hideki Tojo used this opportunity to purge the opposing Imperial Way Faction's political power. The Imperial Way Faction consisted mostly of radical mid-level young officers, while the control faction consisted mostly of senior officers. The Imperial Way Faction believed that the Japanese Emperor was surrounded by "bad people" and couldn't know the suffering of the people, so they needed to "cleanse" and abolish the cabinet, making the Emperor a military dictator similar to Hitler. However, the control faction successfully suppressed the Imperial Way Faction, but also used the opportunity to sideline civilian oversight. The control faction successfully suppressed the Imperial Way Faction, but also used the opportunity to sideline civilian elected cabinets, all military ministers were replaced by active-duty military personnel, further transforming Japan into a fascist war machine state, which fully invaded China after the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, and then declared war on Britain and America in 1941, heading south to fight in Southeast Asia. 禅定门を潜り抜けて / Sneaking through the Zen gate 安楽浄土厄払い / Purging evil and avoiding disasters in the Pure Land of Bliss きっと終幕は大団円 / Surely, the ending is a grand finale 拍手の合間に / In the midst of applause The result? The path of the saints is blocked, the entire army is wiped out, and the grand finale is because everyone has died. Isn't this the greatest irony? Isn't this the biggest slap in the face to all the militarists who initiated and prevented the February 26th Incident in 1936? All sentient beings have gone to the "Pure Land", leaving only monks to "dispel misfortune and avoid evil", because no one can stop those who claim to be saints and their so-called righteous and evil plans. What good is applause? If there was any bellicose sentiment earlier, it's all sunk now! Because everything is gone, in the video, the phrase "grand finale" is displayed first, then the hope of Japanization is dashed by women dressed in kimono and Western lace carrying Western pastries.
Finally someone understands that this song is more of a critique on imperialist Japan rather than glorifying it. It's essentially an anti-war song. There's a lot of required knowledge on Japanese history to understand what this song means so I understand why a lot of English speakers take it at face value. Tbh the translation 'steal cage' 'voice can't reach' 'guillotine' should have given people a clue.

Miku, Rin, and Len: *Rebels against the occupation* Meiko and Kaito: *Spies against the government in disguises* Luka: *A very stupid waitress who eats the concrete*
Um, actually, according to most theories, it was Miku and Kaito who stirred up a rebellion, there's another song related to this one, sung by Kaito. The Kagamines are supposed to just be normal children, Luka is a waitress (and a background character forcefully squeezed in for the sake of including all the Cryptonloids in the PV) ad Meiko is an Oiran, which is a type of prostitute.
@@joannamysluk8623 I think the song includes the Oiran because she's doubling as a spy. Luka was in the original PV for two scenes as a waitress, but she never eats the pavement
Vocaloid pop songs, Hatsune Miku, Japanese shows etc are extremely popular even overseas...I also like these songs even though I don't know any Japanese
So, according to the medals Miku not only served in a war around WW2 or earlier but also performed her duty with exemplary dedication. Yes, that's reading too much into it, lol
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW LUKA AGGRESSIVELY FELL WITH DISH-WARE IN THE BACKGROUND? LIKE MIKU'S JUST TWIRLING AROUND AND THEN YOU SEE LUKA JUST COLLAPSE FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE SHOT CHANGES. LIKE, IS SHE OKAY? DOES SHE NEED HELP? 😭😭😭😭😭 I have so many questions-
Me: *blasting this at my house and vibing on it My Japanese neighbours who doesn't know the song but understands the lyrics: **lowkey worried about me**
Only i discovered that this song is also based on Ushiwakamaru's story for japanese children ? 🤔🤔 At the end, Ushiwakamaru, decided to ally with Mushashibo Benkei to defeat the Henkei Clan in the Genpei War. 😌😌
I love meme and all but like sometimes it gets a little annoying tbh I wanna see people praising the song and talking about their stories and stuff But all I see is meme that is overused
Majority of the comments say "when you say ___ in a ___ restaurant" Others are "this song is about war" A small percentage of them are talking about the outfits! But we all know the rarest ones that point out Luka falling in the background are the best.

Everyone is making memes and talking about the nationalist aesthetic of the song, but can we just stop one moment to appreciate the extremely high quality animation we've got here ?
this song is telling about Japan in particular, but mostly centering in the WW2, Post-war Japan, and modern era Japan. a small, peaceful, ancient, Pacific Country. that are clipped with superpower nations. and how Japan will never went into waf again

I can totally see this in an anime scene, like *midterm exam papers are handed in, person sees they aced theirs, we see a few more characters with their grades, then it's recess and Senbonzakura can be vaguely heard and everyone runs to the windows and outside to see a big flashmob with that person in the middle* lol
Actually, the class would be called "Intense Japanese" because I took Intense Japanese for 4 (Almost 5) years. Not a hate reply, just letting you know :3
Are you sure? How I see it, it just depends on what the course is often called. (I'm calling it a course assuming you learned it throughout some form of school..? Either way, props to you for sticking with Japanese for so long!) In my school, any year pass your first year of Spanish (Spanish was the only secondary language course we were offered) was considered advanced, despite the fact that some of the years didn't teach you enough to be *technically* classified as that. I have a friend who went to a school were courses that were of a high level were classified as intense, I suppose it really just depends on where you're learning, doesn't it? (I'm not at all trying to belittle the time you spent learning Japanese, I find it to be impressive! This isn't meant to be a hateful reply, just a little something I'd like to add on.) Question, though: Would it be called "Intense Japanese" rather than "Advanced Japanese" purely because it's Japanese and not another language?
The refrain seemingly innocent really looks dark to me. In japanese mythology cherry blossom takes their red color from the blood of corpse buried under their roots. "A thousand cherry trees are under cover of night Your voice cannot even reach This is a feast, a steel cage Look down from the guillotine" The refrain seemingly talk about a soldier captured into the battlefield leaving behind a thousand of corpse, his voice cannot reach in the prison he is detained. He is then dragged to the guillotine. Pretty dark huh?
@@luthfinst3023 From my understanding of the lyrics, I think it is not exactly about war. Not entirely. It is more like nationalism and westernization. The time era is probably set after World War II, after Japan surrendered due to two nuclear weapons(ICBM). It is a time of either you dominate others, or get dominated. Industrialization(Steel production and technology) is the key of determining if you get to stay on top of the food chain. The guillotine represents Japan's position in the world. If they don't become industrialized, they will be the victim of the guillotine. Therefore, Japan jumped off the guillotine, there was a rapid growth of modernization. When you looked at the background of the whole video, you would notice a lot of things that originated from western countries, they were not invented by Japan. Bicycles. Clothes. Ring roads. Guillotine. Senbonzakura was against these. I think. Japan became modernized in an extremely short amount of time, but at what cost? In this case, it's culture. Culture is a nation's identity. Things changed a lot. "Always on the move, no big deal" This is one of the things that had changed. Economy in Japan accelerated, as well as people. Japan is well known as a workaholic country. This lead to high suicide rates. "Here is a banquet, a steel cage" It is very likely meant that Japan built a steel cage around itself. Higher steel production didn't make people live freer lives, but more restricted, like in a steel cage. A more developed country leads to higher competition, higher competition leads to higher pressure. High competition means you are more likely to be kicked out of the competition. While high pressure causes mental illness and suicides. Incompetence is not an option. Hikikomori(A phenomenon where people withdraw themselves from society or seek isolation, due to the pressure they are having) is one such example. It is a very deep and interesting song. So I cannot guarantee that I get the correct idea.
Yeah I was so confused why that thing was there. Like when I watched it for the first time I was like 'wtf why is that there?'. I didn't know the name of the object though.💀
Seriously all the song styles sound the same. Vocaloid is different because they put animation and effort into their songs and t series has had problems with copyright according to PewDiePie.

Anti- western revolution
Interesting! I hadn't even read the lyrics yet! :O I guess this is why webtoon author of phantom paradise used this, even more interesting! :00✨ (definitely a webtoon to check out :'3)
That's just not a real revolution that happened in history, unless you're talking about the Boshin War, where only like 5k people died
@@gimmethehealth7058 exactly
But some slight changes within this song is questionable
First is the ICBM which it's used during cold war so why so this song is Pretty confusing it could be Meiji Restoration WW2 or any other war.
One thing is for sure this song is slightly violent so it might be a combination of some Japanese history.
Gimme The Health Man the world wars really fucked up our perspective on human lives. “Only 5K” like yeah it’s no where near the ten thousands dead in a single battle in any of the world wars, but we still need to remember that each person is an individual, and not a statistics.
Ah- wait what
This song is actually a bit sad.
You can understand it by looking at the lyrics:
日の丸印の二輪車転がし / Riding a two-wheeled vehicle with the rising sun emblem
悪霊退散ICBM / Dispelling evil spirits with ICBMs
環状線を走り抜けて / Passing through the circular line
東奔西走なんのその / It's just going back and forth
It speaks of Japan's modern democratization under U.S. command, still unable to escape the shadows of servitude and war (ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile), but note that it uses "evil spirits begone" (implying the U.S. security umbrella) instead of its own military force.
少年少女、戦国無双 / Boys and girls, unrivaled in the Warring States
浮世の随に / Following the trends of the world
千本桜、夜ニ紛レ / Thousands of cherry blossoms, lost in the night
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ / Your voice can't even reach here
此処は宴、鋼の檻 / This is a feast, a steel cage
その断頭台で見下ろして / Look down from that guillotine
三千世界、常世之暗 / Three thousand worlds, darkness of the afterlife
歎ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ / Even the lamenting songs can't be heard
青藍の空、遥か彼方 / Azure sky, far beyond
その光線銃で打ち抜いて / Pierce through with that ray gun
Here it is said that those who die in battle become fertilizer for thousands of cherry trees but are forgotten (melting into the night), even the voices of the departed cannot be heard. There are various interpretations, but most people would agree that the innocents sacrificed in war are forgotten, only able to "melt into the night" under the cherry trees. "Cage of steel" refers to the wartime nationalistic military system; the meaning of "guillotine" is very clear, that is, the murderous war machine; the "ray gun" (originally 光線銃) suggests the atomic bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by Americans. We must remember that the suffering of the people during WWII was ultimately ended by atomic bombs. This year marks the 71st anniversary of the end of "that war" (a term used in Japan to reluctantly refer to WWII, showing how much they detest war). Especially at this time, we should remember. Particularly the relatives of those who died in the war, who could only say "Mr. XX died for the Emperor’s honor," how twisted human nature can be, truly "Even the song of lament cannot be heard." Only a few extreme right-wing nationalists might see this as a reason to fight and reclaim honor, but most people, especially in the Chinese-speaking regions, would certainly not see it that way.
百戦錬磨の見た目は将校 / The appearance of a seasoned officer
いったりきたりの花魁道中 / The hustle and bustle of the courtesan procession
アイツもコイツも皆で集まれ / Let him and her gather together
聖者の行進 わんっ つー さん しっ / The march of saints, one, two, three, four
This passage, when viewed with the accompanying video, first has a blackout with "black rests", followed by the appearance of soldiers, geishas, students, and other Western-dressed individuals, representing various aspects of Japan (military, cultural, educational, etc.), accompanied by relatively obscure imagery and dark tones (卍 宅魔 卍, 2011), representing the prelude to war, where no one can stop the advance of those who claim to be "saints" (homophonic with righteous or evil, living beings), saying "One Two Three Four" (the first two represent the more Westernized Meiji and Taisho eras, sung in Japanese, three and four representing pre and post-WWII Japan of the Showa era).
Here, we can mention the Incident of February 26th, which led Japan into total war: The Incident of February 26th, 1936, occurred on February 26th, 1936, in Japan, involving a rebellion of 1,483 young army officers, a failed coup d'état launched by Imperial Way Faction military personnel. Basically, both factions supported Japanese militarism, but the control faction led by Hideki Tojo used this opportunity to purge the opposing Imperial Way Faction's political power. The Imperial Way Faction consisted mostly of radical mid-level young officers, while the control faction consisted mostly of senior officers. The Imperial Way Faction believed that the Japanese Emperor was surrounded by "bad people" and couldn't know the suffering of the people, so they needed to "cleanse" and abolish the cabinet, making the Emperor a military dictator similar to Hitler. However, the control faction successfully suppressed the Imperial Way Faction, but also used the opportunity to sideline civilian oversight. The control faction successfully suppressed the Imperial Way Faction, but also used the opportunity to sideline civilian elected cabinets, all military ministers were replaced by active-duty military personnel, further transforming Japan into a fascist war machine state, which fully invaded China after the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, and then declared war on Britain and America in 1941, heading south to fight in Southeast Asia.
禅定门を潜り抜けて / Sneaking through the Zen gate
安楽浄土厄払い / Purging evil and avoiding disasters in the Pure Land of Bliss
きっと終幕は大団円 / Surely, the ending is a grand finale
拍手の合間に / In the midst of applause
The result? The path of the saints is blocked, the entire army is wiped out, and the grand finale is because everyone has died. Isn't this the greatest irony? Isn't this the biggest slap in the face to all the militarists who initiated and prevented the February 26th Incident in 1936? All sentient beings have gone to the "Pure Land", leaving only monks to "dispel misfortune and avoid evil", because no one can stop those who claim to be saints and their so-called righteous and evil plans. What good is applause? If there was any bellicose sentiment earlier, it's all sunk now! Because everything is gone, in the video, the phrase "grand finale" is displayed first, then the hope of Japanization is dashed by women dressed in kimono and Western lace carrying Western pastries.

@@os-qv4wlwell dont bother reading the comment then
Finally someone understands that this song is more of a critique on imperialist Japan rather than glorifying it. It's essentially an anti-war song. There's a lot of required knowledge on Japanese history to understand what this song means so I understand why a lot of English speakers take it at face value. Tbh the translation 'steal cage' 'voice can't reach' 'guillotine' should have given people a clue.

Actually, the class would be called "Intense Japanese" because I took Intense Japanese for 4 (Almost 5) years. Not a hate reply, just letting you know :3
Ngu người :-)!!!!
Are you sure? How I see it, it just depends on what the course is often called. (I'm calling it a course assuming you learned it throughout some form of school..? Either way, props to you for sticking with Japanese for so long!) In my school, any year pass your first year of Spanish (Spanish was the only secondary language course we were offered) was considered advanced, despite the fact that some of the years didn't teach you enough to be *technically* classified as that. I have a friend who went to a school were courses that were of a high level were classified as intense, I suppose it really just depends on where you're learning, doesn't it?
(I'm not at all trying to belittle the time you spent learning Japanese, I find it to be impressive! This isn't meant to be a hateful reply, just a little something I'd like to add on.)
Question, though: Would it be called "Intense Japanese" rather than "Advanced Japanese" purely because it's Japanese and not another language?
Eunbi Moon in my opinion advanced japanese sounds better but i never learned japanese so i may try it depends

"A thousand cherry trees are under cover of night

The refrain seemingly talk about a soldier captured into the battlefield leaving behind a thousand of corpse, his voice cannot reach in the prison he is detained. He is then dragged to the guillotine.
Pretty dark huh?

Idk, sounds like a normal Tuesday for me
Idk it's not really that dark or deep that kinda happened a lot. People die in wars and like rape and killing and crap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@luthfinst3023 From my understanding of the lyrics, I think it is not exactly about war. Not entirely. It is more like nationalism and westernization.
The time era is probably set after World War II, after Japan surrendered due to two nuclear weapons(ICBM). It is a time of either you dominate others, or get dominated. Industrialization(Steel production and technology) is the key of determining if you get to stay on top of the food chain.
The guillotine represents Japan's position in the world. If they don't become industrialized, they will be the victim of the guillotine. Therefore, Japan jumped off the guillotine, there was a rapid growth of modernization.
When you looked at the background of the whole video, you would notice a lot of things that originated from western countries, they were not invented by Japan. Bicycles. Clothes. Ring roads. Guillotine.
Senbonzakura was against these. I think. Japan became modernized in an extremely short amount of time, but at what cost? In this case, it's culture. Culture is a nation's identity. Things changed a lot.
"Always on the move, no big deal" This is one of the things that had changed. Economy in Japan accelerated, as well as people. Japan is well known as a workaholic country. This lead to high suicide rates.
"Here is a banquet, a steel cage" It is very likely meant that Japan built a steel cage around itself. Higher steel production didn't make people live freer lives, but more restricted, like in a steel cage.
A more developed country leads to higher competition, higher competition leads to higher pressure. High competition means you are more likely to be kicked out of the competition. While high pressure causes mental illness and suicides. Incompetence is not an option. Hikikomori(A phenomenon where people withdraw themselves from society or seek isolation, due to the pressure they are having) is one such example.
It is a very deep and interesting song. So I cannot guarantee that I get the correct idea.
Crazy how Japan's economy drastically increased by a 3d girl dancing and singing like her rent is due.
yeah but she sounds cool sooooo sounds pretty reasonable to me

Why couldn’t a vocaloid be the most subscribed channel this is far superior to t series
YES!!!
I scream at trees,
XD yes
T series is aimed at Indians this is more for other audiences
because its just a crappy auto tuned song
Seriously all the song styles sound the same. Vocaloid is different because they put animation and effort into their songs and t series has had problems with copyright according to PewDiePie.
still a banger song in 2024
