Lyrics[]
いろはにほへと ちりぬるを
日のいずる国 ジパング
「改めまして 日本です
趣味は空気を読んで、発言を慎むことです」
長い歴史の中には
引きこもっていた時もある
みなさんよりは
うんと爺さん 東洋に浮かぶ私
アメリカさんの 無理難題に
日々経験値をあげ 頑張って
すごい色です
食べられません でももらってしまう私
若い国(ひと)にはついていけない
そんなことを思う日もある
しかし武士の魂だけは
忘れてはいないのです
小型化 なら任せてください
色もそれぞれご用意してます
二次元 なら体汚れません
心は少し汚れますが
いろはにほへと ちりぬるを
日のいずる国 ジパング
国を開いた 途端に
驚きました 激変で
洋服 靴に 力の限り！
でもすぐ慣れてしまう私
はっきりしろと 言われますが
人よりずっと 考えていて
だから YesとNoだけでは
語りつくせないものです
アレンジ なら任せてください
カレーはパンにもご飯にも合います
屈辱には とても耐えられません
かくなる上は 切腹です…あら？
この海の上には 多様な国あって
重んじていたことも クツガエル
「春はあけぼの
夏は夜です
秋は夕暮れ
冬はつとめて」
「天を照らす 神のもと
私たちの歴史 また千年 紡ぎましょうね...」
花は匂えど 散ってゆきます
月は満ちたら 欠けゆくものです
四季の移りの香り豊かな
私はこの国が好きです
いろはにほへと ちりぬるを
I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to chi-ri-nu-ru-wo

Land of the rising sun, Japan
"Nice to meet you again, my name is Japan.
My hobbies are analyzing the situation and determining whether or not to speak."
In my long history
There were times when I withdrew into myself
Compared to everyone else
I am very much an old man, floating in the Orient
To America-san's unreasonable demands
I raise my experience points and do my best every day
The color is incredible
I cannot eat it, but I end up receiving it anyway
I cannot keep up with young nations (people)
There are days when I think such things
But my warrior spirit, at least,
I have not forgotten
If it's miniaturization, please leave it to me
I am also offering one in each color
If it's two-dimensional, then the body will not be tainted
The heart, however, will slightly be tainted
Even the blossoming flowers will eventually scatter.
Land of the rising sun, Japan
As soon as I opened the country
I was astonished by the sudden changes
Western clothing and shoes, to the best of my ability!
But I immediately grew accustomed to them
("If I could have just ten years")
I am told to make myself clearer but
I think much more than others and
Therefore with just "yes" and "no"
I cannot say all that I would like to say.
If it's an arrangement, please leave it to me
Curry goes well with both bread and rice
Disgrace is extremely unbearable
Since it has come to this, I will commit seppuku... Oh?
Upon this ocean, I met a variety of countries and
The things I had held in such high esteem were completely overturned
"In spring, it is the dawn; in summer, it is the night
In autumn, it is the evening; in winter, it is the early morning"
("Beneath the god who illuminates the sky
Our history, let us weave it for another thousand years")
Flowers are fragrant but they fall and scatter
When the moon is full it proceeds to wane
The fragrance of the four seasons' change is rich and varied
I love this country
Even the blossoming flowers will eventually scatter.
