Anthem: Kimi ga yo 15 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: -5  
The words to the Japanese national anthem.. if you are brave enough to try them!
(Because someone has been asking about them.)
I have written them the way they are sung but remember the Japanese pronunciation of these letters:

Kimi ga-a yo-o wa
Chiyo ni-i yachi-yo ni
Sa za re Ishi no
Iwao to na-ri te
Koke no mu-u su
Ma- e de

It is a song for the emperor and means:

May your reign continue for 1000 years
For eternity
until pebbles by age united
become boulders
covered in moss

(or something similar!)
