[MrAndrescamilo25]

Impecable.

[CengalLut]

love the view of the castle in the background. is it tokyo's?

[creepywalnut]

@CengalLut There are no castles in Japan, they´re called Pagodas.

[CengalLut]

@creepywalnut Japan developed some impressive fortification designs during its feudalistic era. their designs are different from european castles/forts, with architectural elements similar to the pagoda, but still impressive. A lot of these still stand, like the one in Tokyo (almost destroyed by american bombers in WW2) and Osaka

[creepywalnut]

@CengalLut Right!

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut Isn't Himeji Castle a Japanese World Heritage Site? I wrote it off the top of my head so I will have to check but it definitely isn't called Himeji Pagoda.

[creepywalnut]

@582Thomas Maybe because we tend to name things in far away countries and cultures using western terminology? I'm sure that the word castle doesn't exist in Japanese.

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut According to Wikipedia, the word for "castle" in Japanese is 城 or shiro. So the word does exist in Japanese.

[creepywalnut]

@582Thomas Like I said, if we don't have the exact word for a building that we don't have in our western world, we use something that would give us an idea of what it is, although those Japanese buildings and European castles don't have ANYTHING in common: they're built with different materials, shape, for different purposes, etc. Why English speakers call "pepper" to something that doesn't come from Europe or the US? Just because there's not a word in English for "chile".

[creepywalnut]

@creepywalnut Why do we call hot or spicy to the sensation hot peppers produce in our mouth if in Spanish it is said that they´re "enchilosos"? Because there's not a term in English for that, thus we use hot or spicy, which would give an approximate idea of what the sensation is.

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut Just read the Japanese Castle article on Wikipedia.

[creepywalnut]

@582Thomas Will you ever get my point? They use the word "castle" because there's no an equivalent in English to name that kind of buildings. Besides, authors of articles in wikipedia are not all scholars, everybody can upload any article and not necessarily with thorough background investigation. Wikipedia is not 100 % reliable, I can say because I'm a teacher and some students turn in poor essays because the only source they mention is wikipedia.

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut So are you saying that only English castles are real castles?

[creepywalnut]

@582Thomas I never mentioned Great Britain, I said Europe. And that´s right, only European castles are castles, or do you think that Pyramids in Mexico, Egypt or the builduings found in Cuzco, Perú, are castles?

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut What is your definition of "castle"? I think we may have misunderstood each other.

[582Thomas]

@creepywalnut I really hope you're lying about being a teacher.

[kuromahotsukai]

the tempo is a bit fast... but still a great interpretation!

[5brosn1chick]

Also, every country has had wars, most have experienced triumph and/or defeat.

[5brosn1chick]

Just goes to show--music is the international language.

It's so funny to see Japanese musicians perform a Russian song about a French defeat!

[mikesheen741]

@ikschrijflangenamen And uploaded to an American website in English.

[bossasampa]

@ikschrijflangenamen Thanks God the "democracy"through the music.

[creepywalnut]

@ikschrijflangenamen How can you call this masterpiece a "song"? It's not a vulgar song! Why don't you get some elementary music lessons? Or at least look up the meaning of "song" in a dictionary.

[ikschrijflangenamen]

@creepywalnut

1.a short metrical composition intended or adapted for singing, especially one in rhymed stanzas; a lyric; a ballad.

2.a musical piece adapted for singing or simulating a piece to be sung: Mendelssohn's “Songs without Words.”

3.poetical composition; poetry.

4.the art or act of singing; vocal music.

5.something that is sung.

6.an elaborate vocal signal produced by an animal, as the distinctive sounds produced by certain birds, frogs, etc., in a courtship or territorial display.

[ikschrijflangenamen]

@creepywalnut I guess you're right. There is a choral version of it, but it's not in this video.

[vinent81]
