Famous British regiment, formed during the Civil war as part of the parliamentary New Model Army. Based after the conflict in Coldstream. Marched down to London at the collapse of the Cromwellian regime, which helped secure the restoration of the monarchy....laid down their weapons, then raised them again, loyal to Charles II.
Oh, Japan. What a wonderful country and people. The British may have a history with this country at war, but at peace I can assure you, the British have the deepest respect.
We were allied with Japan until the Americans stuck their nose in at the first post WW1 naval treaty, and made it clear they didn’t want us to be allied with Japan.
@@petersone6172 didn't want to face an invasion from both the Pacific and Atlantic if it came to war, both Japan and the UK would of easily been able to overwhelm the US navy and they knew that
@@yeetjones927 it wasn’t long after WW1 that some in the US military drew up plans to fight the UK and separately Canada, I think because they were so Anglophobe, even during WW2 many ships were sunk and lives lost including American because an American admiral wouldn’t take advice from the Royal Navy.
I feel just as proud when I see other nations applause our soldiers. Love watching all aspects of their marches, sends me to have goose bumps👍🏻😘 Thanks Japan for being good hosts and showing such interest , support and appreciation.
@@commando4481 I too heard stories first hand from soldiers who were prisoners of the Japanese, I remember when Nissan opened its factory in Sunderland in 1988 they used to fly their flag with the round red circle on it on a pole outside the factory door, a ex prisoner of theirs turned up every day at the factory to scream expletives at the rising sun flag he could not understand why the Japanese were allowed to fly that hated insignia on British soil.
Patrick Kelly What angers me is that nearly everyone has forgotten we even went to war with japan which means that the brave lads who fought or were captured are now forgotten too along with Japan’s war crimes which are also forgotten. In my opinion we need a miniseries about the war in the Far East from the British perspective which covers the soldiers and POWs point of view. So that the whole world knows about the bravery and sacrifice of our soldiers.
The National Emblem was our final march either during battalion, brigade, or division change of command. It was the GTFO march. Get The Fuck Out march. No shit it was relieving but it was inspirational. Stand tall and march like soldiers. Yeah Buddy!!!
When it comes to Rigimental Music....I think we may...over the years, have taught the world. And it is good to hear from other nations now also getting the enthusiasm for military music.
Don't really care who is playing this tune! IT REALLY GOOD TO HEAR IT PLAYED BY PROFESSIONALS! Class as always and they are showing the world what they are made of!
Just watched this after the Tokyo Olympics has finished, What a great show you put on Tokyo, And well done to our Record breaking British Athletes, in fact well done to everyone
I'm just here to watch the brilliant music from a band that wanted to bring some colour and light back to some people who had just been through a huge natural disaster. Can the rest of you save your little Brits vs. Yanks pissing contest for another video?
I'm an American and I'm not some dim witted idiot . Yes we have people in are country who are not smart enough to respect and understand certain things. All countries have people like that so don't yell at at our entire country because it's easy to pick on are faults. Some people who put comments out yelling at America and any other country are either stupid, love their country more than any other or they are trolls. Wow long comment :/
Simply, he is the band's conductor when playing, but not during a quick or slow march. See him do his job in part 2/2 during Amazing Grace with bagpipes.
Job well done Coldstream Guards!!!!! Absolutely perfect and amazing!!! Precision to the max! Beautiful execution and incredible music. Amazing grace brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful idea it was to perform in Japan. I cannot help but think how fortunate the viewing public was on that day to witness such an incredible performance up close and personal. Brilliant performance. Thank you to the Coldstream Guards and also to the cameraman for sharing this.
Thank you Cold Streamers for playing American Emblem!!! Back in the Army this was the song to wake us up when doing Pass and Review. Brings back memories. Thank you!!!
Not on the topic but do US Paratroopers get called red devils like your name? In Germany it's green devils tho we use red for berets and flags for Para troopers.
Well if you would like some more music in that style I would advise watching the "Trooping the Colour", this is one of my favourites: Trooping The Colour 2012 - The British Grenadiers
a fine video of this great british band - the liberators is a cool march - i think that the japanese appreciate these military bands moreso than anyone else...lol - thanks century21
i love how the americans are saying its an american tune by edwin eugene bagley when everyone can clearly see that edwin eugene bagley is anglosaxon name.
+HaiLsKuNkY Are you really that stupid? Edwin Eugene Bagley...born in Vermont 1857...died in New Hampshire 1922. "Anglo-saxon" though he may well be...he's American.
+Ollie Rees If you knew anything about the US, you'd know that it is not homogeneous like Japan or Korea or most other countries. It's population is made up of people from virtually every ethnic and national background in the world. There are Americans with anglo-saxon, Hispanic, Scandinavian, German, Italian, Japanese, Filipino, French, Malaysian, Indian, Arabic and African names and backgrounds. So what's the big deal...I'm sure Bagley thought of himself more as an American than as an "anglo-saxon." My comment was based on what I and many of my fellow Americans see as an almost traditional English (and European) air of snobbish superiority and sophistication when it comes to anything having to do with the USA. It's "funny" as in curious...not "funny" as in humorous. I would have thought that someone with your "superior" grasp of the English language could tell the difference. Obviously, I was mistaken....
Just as I read that I was at 4:50 exactly as I looked up I saw the 5'2" guardsman. Press on time and you'll see him. The smaller the soldiers in stature, it's made up for in the fighting spirit and determination of a British Coldstream guards.
Well, they take women now, so height is not such an issue any more. My father served in North Africa during WWII, when the height rules were relaxed a little. He remembered seeing some shorter men with Grenadier Guards shoulder flashes and saying to one of his mates "Oh, no, we must be losing!"
@Stevie0445 I'm not in any way suggesting that height is a factor in ones fighting ability....I simply pointed out that height was indeed a requirement for that particular regiment.
The Coldstreams may call it Figaro but the aria Mozart and da Ponte wrote and Figaro sings to Cherubino is Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso. He tells the young recruit (amorous butterfly) that it's time to stop chasing women and go off to war "alla gloria militar".. Appropriate for the Guards?
Lol, it's actually a britsh march. Incase you didn't realise the US have many systems the British created and put it into their country system since it was British that founded the US. Take the US parliment for an example.
Oh, I am so very, very sorry for not being an expert on Australian colloquial idiom. And, indeed, there are a disproportionate number ("amount" really isn't appropriate here) of British posters on You Tube holding a "certain (might I add, knee jerk, snarky anti-American) attitude." An observation that's, undoubtedly, beyond your grasp. Twit. (Is that better?)

Went to Japan a few times in my Royal Navy days, fine country, fine people.
ask your grandfather about the Japanese
That must explain why you have a Royal Navy flag on your profile

It makes you feel proud to be British.
Loved how they turned the traffic intersection into their own parade ground!
Why not?
God, you can just feel the imperial splendour oozing out of the guardsmen and -women...
Magnificent!
Marches are;
01:21 - General Mitchell
02:52 - National Emblem
06:21 - Figaro
07:38 - The Liberators

sadly no British Grenadiers 😔

I would be intimidated if i heard that song and saw tall people with unknown hats like that marching
Me too
Nonsensical comment. Impressive in all respects.

My 6-year-old son just found there was a grenadier in the video. He knew it when he visited London last month.
The good old General Mitchell 💂🏻♂️👍🏻

Britain popularized using American songs in parades.
Greeting from Malaysia as Malaysian Royal 😊
British Malay
that must have been an amazing day
it really was
Good parade and playing in a very tight space thousands of miles away from their barracks
I love the Coldstream and Grenadier march! :D
I remember the Guards had to be at least 6 foot tall, but seems they are taking them at 4 foot these days??!!
Just as I read that I was at 4:50 exactly as I looked up I saw the 5'2" guardsman.

Notice the Japanese guy wearing a guards tie!
Join the Guards band and see the world - this time Japan.
6:30 They were playing Mariage de Figaro Non piu andrai by Mozart. Many Amadeus fans would see it as the Salieri March :D
its Figaro mate
also the slow march of the Coldstream Guards

Not something u see in Japan every day. The symbol guy has an easy job.
Love that swish of the hand when turning left So camp !!
There's a Welsh guard bandsman in there.
SomeBloke8895 Got it
gotta show em gow to be a true empire by march
Just wonderful
Even without their bearskins on they look impressive. As for the music - WOW!!
the best doin what they do the best
I'm an American and I agree with you. I thoroughly enjoy all the military bands of Great Britain and a few American military bands as well.
Really? Wow. I never thought I'd see that, you know with the whole friendly rivalry the Grenadiers have with the Coldstream :P
非常に素敵です、
That's Drum Major Steve Staite of the Grenadier Guards.
Well spotted, the most memorable Drum 🥁 Major in my humble opinion who recently retired from her Majesty’s forces. 💂♂️🇬🇧
Yea I knew he was a grenadier from obvious details (bearskin, tunic, buttons, etc.,.)
Nice to see drum major Steve staite there

Ironically the Meiji Restoration was carried out to prevent this exact sort of thing.
🤣
Just like old times
It'd just be in France instead and they'd be serving under Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington
Colonization Intensifies
Interestingly, the US national anthem was originally a popular British drinking tune. They also often play Radetzky - an Austrian march.
Pity they didn't play their rousing regimental march - Milanolo - check it one of the most stirring of all regimental marches
i think they play it in part 2
Sorry for the miss. Thanks.
Lol, it's actually a britsh march. Incase you didn't realise the US have many systems the British created and put it into their country system since it was British that founded the US. Take the US parliment for an example.
I know this was a year ago, but most of the world drives on the right.
1:22 general mitchell march
They are confined to one intersection ? !
I have to say entering with the march General Mitchell with that announcement gets my hair standing on end! Got a real sense of power then...
A march by another American, R B Hall.
Great footage from the hinode announcers biennial grand Prix just a pity that band were so rude as to play over her.
a popular verison of the british grenadiers is played by the us army strings, swings and round abouts
I'd love to parade in Japan.

The back ones are Scots guards
Well, the Japanese seem to like it...
they're coming for you
Magnificent well done god save the queen 🇬🇧🦖🇬🇧
Tower of London, Ok..... next time send two bands..
play something involving bagpipes.
If you care to check you will find at least 75 countries drive on the left, its 34% of the worlds population, so quite a few people.

Easy job for the pipers just a wee walk up and down the street
Not to mention that a hackle bonnet is so much more comfortable than a bearskin.
When it to ceremonial duties yiu have rwo choices. Do it like the Guards or do it wrong.
why has the bandsman in the third row from the rear got no instrument?
Because he's the Director of Music & Officer in charge of the band.
National Emblem at 2:52 is an American march. :-)
