4 NATIONAL ANTHEMS : ENGLAND & JAPAN vs. PHILIPPINES & FRANCE!!!!

[sijotakane]

Japanese national anthem is shortest and oldest in the world ( Dutch Anthem is oldest one by prescribed as law anthem. )

[nakanaks32]

the anthem goes like this England japane philippines and france

both france and philippine anthem are more like when you are going in the american civil war, the one that plays in order to encourage troop moral

[sen71koto]

何これ？

[LDD86]

Both the Philippines and France are in their respective Fifth Republics :

FIFTH PHILIPPINE REPUBIC = 1986 - present

FIFTH FRENCH REPUBLIC = 1958 - present

[rainmen2011]

japan has a beautiful national anthem my prays are with with u be u are brave be brave the world will come to your aid sorry about tsumnimi

[AllMyNakama]

Japan as the " Land of the Rising Sun ".

[leafproject]

BTW, why these four nations? because they have matching flags? hahaha, our flag have yellow though. jk. from my POV the first set expresses respect and legacy while the the last were pride and fighting spirit. hahaha!

[Fredrik1ST]

Whoever loses, France wins this one. One of the most marvelous compositions in the history of... music!

[AttackTheGasStation1]

England anthem is a former french song at the glory of Louis XIV ( "Grand Dieu Sauve le Roi" --> God save the King ) stolen by Haendel, in passing in Versailles and bringing it in London in 1714.

To put France and Philippines anthems together wasn't a bad choice. When I hear Philippines one, I feel I'm listening to some french marche of the french monarchy Era..

As for Japan, I was looking for a giant TV set, I was still undecided ( Panasonic or Samsung ), I'll choose the Pana' one. For Japan.

[LDD86]

@AttackTheGasStation1 Pour moi, l'hymne des Philippines sons comme les marches de Révolution française ou de l'ère napoléonienne. la monarchie (ancien régime) a été plus de musique baroque. si vous écoutez attentivement, les notes de fin de l'hymne Philippines ressemble beaucoup à la musique d'ouverture de "La Marseillaise".

[rainmen2011]

TO ALL VERY BRAVE JAPANESE I AM SO VERY SORRY THAT UR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WAS HIT BY TSUMNI. I WILL PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN JAPAN. I ASK EVERYONE PLS SAY A PRAY FOR THE JAPANESE. I RESPECT EVERYONE THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANY COUNTRY. NO I AM NOT POLITICAL BUT LET US PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE.

[Nice08x]

LABAN PINOY! ;)

[CWR711]

[TearKlaine]

＋●

[Khadleferone]

hahahah nice combination, combination through rhythm of the anthem... :)

[masiyahin1234]

FRANCE ANTHEM: its like a PLAY FANTASY for me it is the best i feel relief :) although Im a Filipino

[masiyahin1234]

Philippine Anthem: Its like a cheer or to stand out who am I . that we need to protect our Country no matter what it takes. because at that time we were conquered and they became a president that can rule the Philippines BUT we FIGHT AGAINST THEM so our NATIONAL ANTHEM IS the witness of our brave..

[truflip99]

have to admit. the philippine and french anthems are more exciting and lively.

[flameguy714]

God save the queen

We mean it mannn

We love our queen

God saves

God save the queen

'Cause tourists are money

And our figurehead

Is not what she seems

lol

[hatedwayne]

France's anthem is played in Casablanca.

[aifrienger]

[iamlostrider]

France and Philippines!! WINS.... I like their national anthem!!!

[evolookah1]

i like the sounds of phillipines

[philippines1998]

it should be like this Philippines ,japan vs england , France

[Cienstin]

@philippines1998

Don't even try to associate Japan with the Philippines. It's obvious that this person put the UK and Japan together because they the mood of the anthem is similar. 

[animangalover23]

@philippines1998 well, i think england and france will fight each other, but i also like that, land of the rising sun and pearl of the orient (is it right??pearl of the orient??lol, even though imma filipina)

[animangalover23]

@philippines1998 well, i think england and france will fight each other but, i also like that, land of the rising sun and pearl of the orient (is it right??pearl of the orient??lol, even though i'm a filipina)

[xDemonChild]

@animangalover23 isn't land of the rising sun, Japan?

[xDemonChild]

@animangalover23 Japan is the land of the rising sun :) i like philipines anthem too. But Japan's anthem is kinda legendary.

[VIXENSWEETIE]

[willzurmacht]

Wow how majestic.

All the anthems are great.

Nothing is better than the other.  :)

[pikuyth2]

[Seiheeadorkable]

[elite102405]

[yuunakayama12]

I like France and philippines....and While i am reading the lyrics of the philippines.. it was so Awesome and the design of their banner i feel their nationalism..

[snizer06]

[nicag88]

what is this video for? sport?

[ItsKateyy]

hmm, im english yet I must say our anthem is very dim and boring and sounds much too grand. I like the philippines unique style, yet I think france has to win this (:

[ptejmajmaj625625]

[daybreak4491]

[astec23]

[jomardomingo77]

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!!God Save the Queen!!!Viva La France!!! Banzai!!

[Fealty227]

[lovencare62]

I like the philippne hym the sounds is vey powerful also france.

[lovencare62]

I like the philippine hym. the lyrics and the tune. UNIQUE. I would not suprised why it won no. 1. Yeheeey Long live the Philippnes.

[yalguunburen]

England sounds like gospel.

Japan sounds very sad, melancholic and apathetic.

Philippines sounds ordinnary

and the France is winner.

[xianlawrence13]

@yalguunburen shut up.............philippines is the winner

[joancute1000]

@yalguunburen dUH FRANCE AND PHILIPPINES had some resmblnce on their anthems! so u meant to say is france also has an ordinary anthem?:)?

[ARandomDaydreamer]

.... when the music came on at the beginning my mind was like "our country 'tis of thee..."

[IKarlHarrison]

they are all good

[LoveYamachan]

i do understand that countries with royalties take pride in their anthem with praises to their royals since in the early days kings rule their lands with almost absolute power and the king represents the country, but i love anthems which takes pride in their country itself and not the leaders coz people might hate their "country" coz of corruption, poverty and every bad thing there is but in the end you just realize how wonderful the nation itself is no matter what...

[MDP94]

i like france and philippine but i like france than philippine :D and im a filipino :D

[PinoyPopER]

france and philippine anthem= win! :D

[willzurmacht]

@PinoyPopER There's no competition here =)

[PinoyPopER]

FRANCE and PHILIPPINE anthem = Win! :D

[YoungBelaLugosi]

Kimi-ga-yo means The Reign of Emperor.

Kimi-ga-yo always makes me feel deep impression.

[netjap23]

queen wat? should we say king? king is the most important i think?

[LDD86]

@netjap23 Queen is used becuse the riegning monarch is a QUEEN. Duh! When she dies, and Prince Charles becomes king, naturally the title is chaged back to "God Save the King".

[CallamEnIr95]

@netjap23 We don't have a king you spaz nut.

[Gabby301hartbreak]

mabuhay ang republika ng pilipinas! vive le republique francaise!

[mathew349]

I guess England's and Japan's anthem are about royalty (Queen for England, Emperor for Japan), then Philippines' and France's are about defending the coutnry

[JuNTaBiOs]

oh, so now you're starting national anthem wars... and this one has alliances in it!!! lol!

[tripmotripko12]

I like Pacquiao more than Hatton. HAHA! The British anthem sounds great , however nothing beats the Philippine anthem. It shows our passion to be free from those fucking selfish colonizers..

[darkfaerie820]

@tripmotripko12

Hear, hear! :)

[sniperifle]

the french and philippine anthems lyrics speak about defending their land against tyrants, since both songs were composed during their respective revolutions

[Boyofstrategy123]

PHILIPPINES!!!!!!!

[paravelian]

i love the Philippine anthem, our country's people suffered for a very long time and this anthem gives me the sense of joy our heroes must have felt the first time they heard this on independence day.. :)

[EmosLastKiss]

Hmm.. actually i like the sound of them all XDXD

[EmosLastKiss]

Japan's is amazing~ 8D so deep!

Ours( Britain ) is.. very proud XD

Not sure what to think of the Philippines xP

France's sounds war obsessed lol

Just my opinon 8D

I like the sound of France's and Japan's and I GUESS Britain aswell XD

[LeriaCossato]

I would say the British national anthem, but that's because I'm British. XD.

[SHaQLeBRon3323]

[proudtobepinoy1]

[mylagem]

[hp3danrev]

Nice one, I love the Philippines!

[Anubayan7]

I prefer a lively song. I mean any kind of music, espcially those military bands, historical march songs, etc.

So for me France and Philippine Anthem wins. ^_^

I feel boring and too emotional when hearing serene songs.

[JaizeNexus]

for me Japan, PHil and France Rules! France and Phils. got marching anthem and more lively!

[mnx06]

Viva La Islas del Filipinas....Pro Deo et Patria!!!

[mylagem]

ingenuity of each and every country.  so

[msvidabohemme]

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!! Vive Le France!!

[scarredbanner]

@msvidabohemme I agree!! But it's La France.

[BritishBlue1]

I quite like them all in their own way but Japan/England is the most serene while France/Philippines are full of bluster.

[narusasusaku87]

FRANCE n TALAGOG anthem...of course ! ^^-

[wasde970]

mabuhay ang pilipinas mabuhay ang pilipinas mabuhay ang pilipinas

[magna188]

There winner is----1,England 2,Japan France and Philippines is equally match.

[zukenon]

Philippines for me hehehe..... and france 2

[Querido0328]

Philippines win!

And also FrAnCe...

[Gaamblore]

lol the french anthem is about building an army and kiling people and blood watering the feilds if you translate it. English anthem is the best

[KingPNluxray]

tagalog anthem!

[twizzlegirl]

philippine and france....i like how happy the france anthem was..

[emoness30]

i like philippines and france anthem

marchons France and Philippine!!

[hevnervals]

Shouldn't it be the Europeans against the Asians? Would have made more sense.

[TikiTikiOverdose]

Go Japan and Philippines. go go go

[EvanC0912]

however, the list before doesnt fit all cases, the main influence of the anthem characteristics is the history of the nation

e.g:

Germany's National Anthem

before and during the nazi era the anthem is played in march alike tone

but after the WW II and the reunification the same anthem (and the same tone since german before the nazi era) tends to be and usually played more solemnly than before (this is maybe because their intention to change the face of the anthem)

so which one do u like??

[LDD86]

you refer to "Deutchland Uber Alles", ne?

[EvanC0912]

yes..

current german anthem (einigkeit und recht und freiheit) is the third stanza of deutschlandlied (deutschland uber alles is the first stanza) and they have the same musical score (melody).

However the way (tempo, dynamic) of the anthem has changed (unofficially, coz this is just tendency) from marching tone to the more reverent one... (after WW II)

[EvanC0912]

after hearing many of anthems i can conclude:

1. Monarchies tend to have solemn and slow anthem, if not they are usually done majestically (to show off power or the greatness)

2. Republics tend to have triumphant &marching anthem.. solemn part sometimes serves as bridge (in the middle, before refrain) & followed by a marching tone (some exmples of this: USA, Indonesia and Phillipines - they're

triumphant - solemn - marching tone)

3. The communist, strong marching tone is prominent (eg China)

[EvanC0912]

do u know.. solemn anthem doesnt always represent a bad nation and anthem... sometimes it's good on their own way

however.. (cont'd)

[forsytheuy]

viva filipinas!! mabuhay ang pilipinas!! long live philippines!! julian felipe rocks!!

[fads417]

Go Land of the Rising Sun!!! Go Pearl of the Orient!!!! Asia Rocks!!!!

[LDD86]

I think I read somewhere that Julian Felipe adapted the ending melody of the Philippines' anthem from the opening of 'La Marseillaise'... so it's not surprising they sound similar.

[LDD86]

I like the melodic transition from the end of Philippines to the beginning of French anthem. The way the two melodies complement each other is very well, almost like the two anthems are mirror images of each other (Philippines: march building up to a climactic, triumphant ending / France : opening triumphant fanfare that transitions into a march.)

[angelsweetyluv26]

Julian Felipe rocks! ahaha :]

[jamerlos]

you can feel in the Philippines National Anthem the sadness and struggle for freedom and the victory! just packed into into 1. ASTIG!

[flipz2damax]

man,, i'd definatly vote for Philippines.. it's so jumpy.. pinoy pride!!! wooot :)

[willzurmacht]

what is "pinoy pride" I always read about that across the internet. Just being curious 0.o

[claudiusta]

it means being proud to be from the Philippines :)

[darkfaerie820]

@willzurmacht

The pure pride of being a filipino/having filipino blood. :)

[jaffinzkfan]

@darkfaerie820 yup. I agree.

[crianneBoo]

♥.. woooo !! mabuhay Pilipinas ! ..♥

[brugadag]

Every time I hear the Philippine Anthem its like Im traveling back in the time when it was first played.I can feel the pride and the joy of their new found freedom.I can feel the joy of the celebration.Saludo sa'yo Maestro Julian Felipe!

[morag89]

did u mean deep fried certainly not deep-friend lol.big up the philippines!!!!!!!!!

[69Bluntsmoka420]

Enland and Japan, what a terrible match. National cuisine: They eat fish and chips with chopsticks, and the fish is eaten raw and not deep-friend.

[akosigundam]

There's no such thing as a national cuisine. The Japanese don't need any "national symbol" since they, generally speaking have one ethnicity, one language, and one culture.

[getmewildO2]

there's something in our Philippine anthem that I like compared to other anthems...

[TwistedViDz1]

Philippines and France for sure!

[rosabella08]

Philippines is the best France is good also.

[hookquality]

philippine song is good!

[BATANGPALABOK]

a alam ko na bkit tau sinakop ng hapones nung tapus na tayo makipag laban sa espanyol at amerikano yung japan sinakop ang england pagkatapos ng france laban sa pinoy ang mga hapones ang sumakop sa atin tapus kinampihan tayo ng mga amerikano kasi sabi ni douglas mac artur ang pilipinas daw ay para sa pilipino hindi sa mga banyaga kasi naawa na si mac artuer nun e

[KingHHH1912]

Viva Filipinas... I'm pruod to be a Filipino

[rnlmrtn]

LET THEM EAT ADOBO.... LOL

[rnlmrtn]

PINOY!

[TheHeck28]

i am not british nor filipino but I think the anthems of those countries are meaningful and brave.

Just my opinion:

The best national anthems are "God Save the Queen" and "Lupang Hinirang". =))

[forsytheuy]

your right!

[jvincents]

England Vs. Philippines

Vive la France la plus grande nation du monde

[ZnerGy1986]

What I love about the Philippine National Anthem is that it talks about the people's struggle for freedom from tyranny.

[k3nji019]

tHe bEautiful anthems sOng iS Japan aNd Philippines

[vnjdreyes]

It is true that it depends on your own country. Anyway, i am Filipino and had to choose my own country's anthem. Besides that, I prefer it because you could almost feel the sincerity of the song and I found it patriotic. Even though the Philippines never became an imperialistic nation and not yet developed, am still proud of it because they are hardworking, kind, cheerful and usually initiate cracks of jokes in spite of challenges in life.

[kirbylight]

maybe I just prefer a lively type of music..

France and of course Philippines ^_^

[zhesto]

philippines is the great anthem bcoz it is a band orchestra

the first anthem of the philippines has no lyrics until 10 decades before it have a lyrics so it is beautiful bcoz it compose of a band orchestra with heart

[basrost66]

The French one is kick ass. 8As a swede). Best in the world. But the others listed here are laso in the top 10. :D
