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

FIFTH PHILIPPINE REPUBIC = 1986 - present

FIFTH FRENCH REPUBLIC = 1958 - present

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.

@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".

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".

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