1998 Nagano Opening Ceremonies - Athletes of Japan

Caution: Playing this song more than once may become addicting. Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan watch the Japanese Team marching in at the end of the Parade of Nations. Hosted by Jim Nantz & ?Andrea Joyce at the Olympic Stadium in Nagano, Japan, February 7th 1998. The music is a march song known as "Shinano no Kuni" (the Province of Shinano, the historical name of Nagano Prefecture.) composed in 1899 by Kiyoshi Asai and it was set to music by Sueharu Kitamura in 1900.

I love the part at about 59 seconds showing the crowd waving their flags in rhythm with the song. It is a lovely song.

ken Ishii is Tecno musician. This song was crieted in 1899 lyrics by Retsu Asai composed by Sueharu Kitamura. And has been loved to sing in Nagano since then.

This march song is 'Shinano-no-kuni'(the Province of Shinano, the historical name of Nagano Prefecture.) This song is De-facto anthem of Nagano.
