hatsune miku – senbonzakura

Another Miku’s song. And no, this is not a parody song of that Senbonzakura. This time this is a song abt pre modern Japan.

So I guess the setting is around Taisho or Showa era (google it if you don’t know). There’s no particular story but I think the main idea is abt the situation in Japan before and after war i.e Westernization of Japan. There’s a talk abt ICBM – maybe that refers to that time during Cold War when US and Soviet Union tryna rape each other with  missiles. And they’re also talking abt ‘pacifist country’. Maybe that means Japan actually didn’t want to get involved with all this Cold War shiet but thanks to their defense treaty with US they’re forced to take sides.

Well to make it short, maybe this is sort of reflection abt how Japan has changed after war? I mean, I know that most people (especially those veterans who survived WW 2 and whose country used to be a colony of Japan) thinks that Japanese ppl is a bunch of asshole but I know that actually lot of em regretted their action during war. Maybe this is a message that Japan is trying to change, and they too has suffered a lot. And maybe they started to think that  being a modern country only giving em lotta misfortunes so they wanna go back to the traditional way.

Well my interpretation can be wrong coz my knowledge when it comes to pre modernized Japan is lacking (my area of expertise is in medieval Japan) so well sorry If I’m wrong . Anyway to me the music is good , and Miku and co design is cute >.< Though I have problem reading the lyrics since the background and the font color didn’t mix well (ノ｀▲´)ノ　┫ The colors really gives me headaches, I tell ya. But overall it’s a good song full of historical symbolism so if you’re a rekijo maybe you’ll like this one (￣∀￣)
