I am learning Japanese, and I have a question. why is 代 pronounced "yo" instead of "dai" as in generation/reign? I would greatly appreciate an answer. Thanks.
the shortest national anthem in the world. the oldest national anthem in the world you might think that its so short and that it might doesn't mean a thing... but this short simple words... created a STRONG and POWERFUL Country called JAPAN. it's one of its backbone. a wonderful piece that held Japanese people together and made them stronger. Wow!
Sending much love to Japan from America. We were once enemies, my grandfather was once an occupier but spent the rest of his life saying only good things about you. Your culture and greatness as a people is unmatched on this earth. Long live Japan!
Long live Japan. A great country. Nice and friendly people. Great traditions. I have been an admirer of Japan since my early childhood. Japan will rise from this earth quick stronger as it did before. You are a role model to other countries.
Pray with all you have for Japan's revival. I read some of your comments, and I feel a certain warmth inside. Thank you for sharing your concerns and devotion. And as for me, I shall pray with all my heart, my dreams, and all of my devotion for the Rising Sun to shine with brilliance once again. Although things may be bad right now, with enough faith and hope from all of us, Japan will make its triumphant return once more. It has done so once, and it shall do it again.
I'm so glad that the reactors in Fukushima are under control again (or at least, not as dangerous as before). Japanese suffered a lot. Not only due to the earthquake and the devastating tsunami, but also because some lost literally EVERYTHING!
Their house, their family, their friends.. However, they're not giving up. And this is exaclty what I admire. This indescribable courage and physical strength.
Till now, I 've read countless racist comments. And honestly.. These people are empty and cruel.
Greetings from France, take care of you brothers... french which loves you...
Kiss, and take care,
Romain

Strange, there's no salutations from the United States!

I'm a Japanese.Almost all of Japanese Chinese characters have two pronouncation.One is from China,the other is Japanese origine.
Dai is from China and yo is japanese traditional word.
We use both of them now.
It's very difficult for foreigne people,I think.
