This song is about Japan's cultural Revolution starting in the late 1800's. It was marked by a severe adaptation of Western Cultural as was common in the age of Imperialism, but was different from the rest of Asia in that Western culture was embraced and fused with what was considered to be "Japanese". The songs also brings up points about Industry and the nearly impossible rate of Militarization that also marked these years. This song appears sad because of how slow it is, but the original song taps into Patriotism and Nostalgia of a time when Japan went from 3rd world to world power

It's still hopeful, though, urging the people to fight and to jump down from the guillotine to break free again. The West would do good to get into the same mindset, we're prisoners of TV and fast food and a generally poisoned culture that is destroying itself. It's time to quit being slaves and find our pride again.

It really is a beautiful line. It's used for contrast as well. The one that catches mine, as I've heard stories from my Filipino side of the family is "This bouquet that surrounds is iron, poison, see? Looking down at us from that big guillotine."

Looking down at us from that big guillotine Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching clear blue skies Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, fight! [Verse 2] Veterans who've trained through struggles are now officers in battle Here and there, we see the harlots in procession This one, that one, doesn't matter, every single person gathers March on to our saintly deaths now! 1, 2, 3, 4 [Pre-Chorus 2] Passing through the gates on the mountain peaks Escaping this world, kill all the evil fiends Surely this will end in a denouement Among the crowds giving their applause [Chorus] Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice, keep what I say in mind This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Looking down at us from that big guillotine Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching peaks of hope Go ahead, keep shooting, use the flashing bolt! [Pre-Chorus] On the train tracks, running along the line Let us move forward, don't look behind Boys and girls becoming like samurai Just like those from our previous life [Outro] Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice, keep what I say in mind That bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see? Leaping down to us from that big guillotine Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light Once your song can be heard, we'll dance with all our might This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see?

[@phantomtq]

@@azariajones5850 one of the reason japan was aggressive in ww2 was that in 1870s 80s U.S wrecked their economy with unfair trades. Japan had only choice recovering their economy from war and 1910s china was a good choice. And that time russia got wrecked by inside and lost to japan which made japan militarist think that they are superior now and can recover the shame they lost to u.s 30 years ago. So japan militarising u.s has part to blame

[@celestialbeing7491]

You never really realize how sad it is in Japanese cause its so upbeat....

[@Tartar]

Why do you believe it to be a sad song? Sure the song is about casting away past traditions and culture and embrace a new set of ideals brought fourth by westernization, and the costs associated with this transition. But still there is a profound message of hope in there, about how certain things are timeless and will remain forever, and how the japanese cultural identety will remain despite embracing western ideals.

[@celestialbeing7491]

That is true...I guess I didn't look at it that way...thanks

[@MeiMiyake]

I wouldn't say this is a sad song, but neither a so hopeful one. I could be wrong, but instead of westernization(that is of course also one of the main topics), isn't the song more focused on the japanese citizen reaction? I mean, the fact that there is the mention of ICBM, guillotines and well, I could be misreading the lyrics, but weren't cherry blossom often associated with fallen kamikazes? That being said, it's not either a "hate" song, but more like the sadness that was around the citizens. Like I said, I could be totally misreading here, but "'This one, that one, doesn't matter'/'Every single person gathers'/'March on to our saintly deaths, now'/.../'Escaping this world, kill all the evil fiends'/.../Thousands of cherry blossom/Dwindling in the light/.../This bouquet that surrounds/ is iron poison, see" and pretty much of the lyrics, of course, it's not really nice if you think that the Persona of the song is kinda of putting "western" as an enemy. But well, citizens, even if japanese did what they did, usually they would treat someone who are attacking them as an enemy, so... If I were to describe this song, it would be the same as reading some book or watching a movie that is from the overpowered point of view, you know? I'm sorry, I really didn't intent to write this much, but this song has such a deep feeling of the Persona that well...

The Meiji Restoration and the following cultural revolution, mainly Western Technology; Japanese Ideals, has always been one of the most fascinating events in human history. How an island nation went from total isolationism to being the leading Asian power within a generation. This song does a great job of emulating the optimism of the young and old who embraced the changing world around them. While the older generations are sad to see their time old traditions be pushed aside, they encourage the younger Japanese people to move forward. Meanwhile, the younger generations do not simply forget the traditions of old, but evolve them to fit the modern world. Overall, a great song on its own, made better by the way it handles the time period it portrays.

千本櫻 作詞：黒うさP 作曲：黒うさP 編曲：黒うさP 唱：初音ミク With a bold and sudden calling Western Revolution's starting Let our hearts be open to it Pacifist nation Riding on a penny farthing It's the flag of our sun rising Warding evil spirits like an ICBM On the train tracks,running along the line Let us move forward. Don't look behind. Boys and girls becoming like samurai Just like those from our previous life Thousands of cheery blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice keep what I say in mind This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see, Looking down at us from that big guillotine Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching clear blue skies Go ahead, keep shooting with the ray gun, fight! Veterans who've trained through struggles arenow officers in battle Here and there, we see the harlots in procession This one, that one, doesn't matter, every single person gathers March on to our saintly deaths now! 1234 Passing through the gates on the mountain peaks Escaping this world, kill all the evil fiends Surely this will end in a denouement Amoung the crowds giving their applause sen bon zakura yoru ni magi re　　千本桜　夜ニ紛レ kimi no koe mo todo ka na i yo 　　君ノ聲モ屆カナイヨ koko wa utage hagane no ori　　　此処は宴　鋼の檻 sono dan tou dai de mio ro shi te　その斷頭臺で見下ろして Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know The lament that you sing can't reach ears anymore We are still far away from reaching peaks of hope Go ahead, keep shooting, use the flashing bolt! On the train tracks,running along the line Let us move forward. Don't look behind. Boys and girls becoming like samurai Just like those from our previous life Thousands of cheery blossoms dwindling in the light Though I can't hear your voice keep what I say in mind This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see, Leaping down to us from that big guillotine Thousands of cheery blossoms dwindling in the light Once your song can be heard, we'll dance with all our might This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see, Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, lead!

Is it "Iron poisoned, See" Or "Iron poisoned sea" Last bit makes more sense to me, seeing as how the sea around Japan was poisoned with iron....

[@BuckmeisterSupremeWithCheese]

Iron poison, see. The event you're thinking of didn't occur until long after the meiji era ended. I believe Kran (the original translator) mentioned that they wrote it that way so it would rhyme with guillotine.

[@dylanchristman978]

[@kiichiroota2240]

The Japanese, 鋼の檻(hagane-no-ori) means "iron prison" in English. So I don't understand why it is translated to "iron poison"...

[@threatenedangles]

I thought it was Iron Poisoned Sea, I thought this because the song is about Japan’s wars and about being nuked by the westerners.

This has been my favorite song to play on the piano for the last couple months. Now learning the lyrics and the meaning has left me in shock. I would say it’s still one of my favorite ballads ever heard, absolute chills.

[@Dennden]

Oddly enough, the saddest line in this song to me is "western revolution's starting." I feel this way because it reminds me that many places are starting to lose their own culture and starting to follow western culture. I fear that in a few hundred years all individual culture may be gone

[@thecoolnerdplaysvr5674]

I dont belive culture is going away, Infact i belive most cultures are going with the west really well. Japan, Business, technology, their way of stature. IS still heavily present. Just in a diffrent form. It may not happen on a global scale, But communities will still hold their traditions high.

[@Dennden]

sean smith For now, but if you watch, you will see how many people slowly start going with American or at least western ideas.

[@relmcheatham]

Yes, because arabic, yemenese, and oman culture is in no need to westernize to remove their slavery problem. "western" culture just means adopting a value system similar, but like Japan, they will keep their own culture... just as Poland and France are completely different culturally yet fall under "western" culture. The Western Revolution was what turned japan from an imperialistic empire into a strong humane industrial power.

[@HigureHokousha]

Saddest part of that is that "western culture" is a thing. There were once many different cultures over here...but those are being pushed away by the current popular culture.

[@relmcheatham]

Higure Hokousha 'Western Culture' just refers to anything that falls under the umbrella of cultures that came out of the western traditions set through judeo Christian writings (French, German, Danish, Bulgarian, etc) in the same way 'eastern culture' is any culture that comes from the Eastern schools of traditional thought (Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Etc) 'Western Culture' is not it's own thing, don't conflate an individual countries culture to that of an entire group of cultures... as every part of that group is vastly different (just ask any two people from the Balkans from different countries).

But at the same time, that very American man had an uncle who pour all his hatred of Japanese to shunning all Japanese products thinking it will hurt Japan in someway...He died still ruled by his hatred...He was respected by his nephew as an uncle and a veteran, but nothing else. both the granddaughter and the nephew is married now.
