This day, the anniversary of Japan's war
Defeat, right-wingers’ trucks, cruising around,
Blaring old martial music, and filling the
Summer day with their angry nationalist sound,
Trying to resurrect, I suppose, lost pride and glory,
And Imperial lust, best left buried in the ground,
Blaring old martial music, and filling the
Summer day with their angry nationalist sound,
Trying to resurrect, I suppose, lost pride and glory,
And Imperial lust, best left buried in the ground,
They honor, in a nasty noisy way, the Shrine
Where the warrior souls are bound…
