- On October 8, 2011, Coldstream Guards Band gave a wonderful performance to celebrate the 3-11 earthquake recovery of Urayasu city, Japan. Part 2/2. コールドストリーム・ガーズ・バンドが浦安復興際のためにすばらしい演奏をしてくれた。
Incredible. As an Aussie I feel that only the Brits can do this so well.
Nevermind. Still part of the Commonwealth. In Commonwealth, we share everything. That makes us stronger.
Technically you count as British too. After all, I still consider you a prisoner in HMP Australia :)
@@specialunit0428 Damn not really sure, since even prisoners have better teeth.
Yes we do, but as your a true Pom that makes you one of us..
@@anti-loganpaul7827 Brits have higher ranked teeth than the Yanks worldwide. You Yanks should check google someday. WW2 stereotypes are 80 years old
The Japanese know how to carry themselves as spectators.
Yes, talk all the way through the performance.
Love Japan from the UK 🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵🇬🇧🇯🇵
Thank you mate! But im from Thailand love japanese too! I can speak british english too! Hello mate!
absolutely spine chilling, makes me proud to British.
Surely you mean English, however Coldstream is on the boarder of Scotland. These are the band and not fighting troops.
@@noesense769 well I'm British by birth and English by the grace of God.i also think the best world national anthem is the Welsh. Hope you can get your head round that cheers. Have a nice weekend.
@@zzzpip Well said sir Greetings from Scotland United Kingdom 🇬🇧
@@noesense769 Wrong! In my unit the band were the quick reaction force. And on execise they carried rifles and lived in trenches just like everyone else!
@@davman115 maybe then but not now, they all do 3 weeks basic training and push through the ranks through progression of music, these are not fighting troops. though many Corps of Drums (Drummers) like in infantry units are Machine Gunners/pioneers. Depending on units. The Coldstream Band soul job is to play music.
I'm italian but when bagpipes play I feel great vibrations and emotions.
My british fellow suggested me clinical examination because he believe me fool.
But. let me say, what a beautiful insanity is the feeling; it tastes of empire, story, glory.
Up with UK
+mzee Thank you mate, and we appreciate all the Roman things your ancestors left in Britain for us in those ages past, which also taste of empire, story and glory :)
+blazednlovinit Not in Scotland, the Roman Empire was the foreign, invading enemy - a very great and respected enemy none the less.
xWHITExEAGLEx Yeah, they saw the Scots and decided it would be better to just wall them off, I can't say as i blame them.
+blazednlovinit, Maybe they just didn't like the Tartan lol?
Sometimes I think posts like yours are total windups but, giving you the benefit of the doubt, I say arrivederci and ciao.
Im sure this was a little out of the ordinary for the japanese spectators. Hope they enjoyed it or at least found it interresting.
Aye, it was a bonny day for all the Scottish/Japanese.
I would say the audiences are with high standard. Never will you see such manner in other Asian countries. with all respects.
The Japanese are superior when it comes to manners and discipline. Forget about Asia, you won't see that level of discipline and manner anywhere.
@@indiegenre9333 China still has the audacity to call themselves the "nation of manners". Japan copied Chinese culture during the Tang Dynasty, adapted and improved, making it their own, while we got fucked by the Mongols and the Manchus. The Commies then put the final bullet into our culture's head.
Ironically, Japan is more Chinese than China.
@@kozakos_vt japan and China are 2 very different cultures, but I wouldn't say the Japanese were better, after what they had done in the Sino Japanese war
@@comradekenobi6908 The first Sino war was over 100 years ago and the second was nearly 75 years ago. Cultures change. Even Emperor Hirohito didn't agree with the way Japan was doing things at the time but he wasn't the military dictator so he couldn't do much.
@@indiegenre9333 they had great manners in the second world war?
The Brits always give such a top performance, I admire them, even though I am an American.
Your name is old English it means wise elf Ælfred so it's ok for you to like the brits
Maybe you have an Scottish ancestry in your bloodline that you even dont know
I was born in Scotland and my family moved to the U.S. when I was about nine. To this very day, even at 61 years old, the pipes give me goosebumps. Magnificent stuff, lads.

I've seen this video like 10 times now. From the US, but I love Britain and the Coldstream. The bagpipes part was my favorite. Respect to the Japanese people for their kindness and graciousness. You have a wonderful country.
UK and USA are United! - Mason in USA
I always find "Amazing Grace" especially emotional. I've heard this song so many times played through the bagpipes, it brings a tear to my eye every time. I wish I could explain this to the locals. Lest we forget.
英国の気品さえも感じられる素晴らしい演奏ではないですかね。
バグパイプの音色が素晴らしい。
Yes, marvel at our masterful drill.
of course its british army never ever will it be subservient to the EU
They are in Japan wtf has the EU got to do with this?
@@danielspillett5393
God bless the Yorkshire Regiment!
Coldstream guardsmen are BORDER SCOTS.
Coldstream guards from borders from Newcastle to Perth, Not Yorkshire, All the old regiments have gone DLI, Manchester, Northumberland Fusiliers, All London regiments, except Grenadiers.
Pity.
@century21music It's quite common for the Drum Major to be from a different Guards (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish or Welsh Guards) Regiment from that of the band they lead, usually because of availability. They also borrow a small number of musicians from one of the other regimental bands if needed. There are only small differences in the ceremonial uniform between the five regiments. Only the Scots Guards and the Irish Guards have pipers. I enjoyed your videos.
The pipers from the Scots Guards wear the Royal Stewart tartan, the Irish Guards pipers wear the Saffron kilt same also with the Royal Irish Regiment.
The band is the Coldstream Guards however the Drum Major leading the band is from the Grenadier Guards, and the pipers are from the Scots Guards.
GrenadierGuardsDmr Why doesn't he have a white plume on his hat? If there is no plumes, he should be Scots Guards
DM seems to be having a mix and match day. Grenadiers tunic with a Scots bearskin. Also spotted some Welsh Guards in the band
Yeah I thought I also saw a welsh guardsmen in there
SALUDOS DE CHILE DEL SUR DEL MUNDO .PRECIIOSO . ELEGANTE ..
Music, the international language 🎵🎵👍
As an Englishmen this feels me with national pride, to see the Coldstream Guards is a rare treat for all, and the bagpipes, what a sound, also never forget, these are fighting men, and women if there are any there...
the conquering of japan has to start somewhere
Haha
Tell that to the mongols
My 97 year old friend would probably like to give them some payback!
wonderful performance, wonderful people.
So impressive, especially ‘Amazing Grave’ 🇯🇵 💕 🇬🇧
ahh... this reminds me of the Anglo-japanese alliance of 1905-1911, thanks for uploading!
WELL DONE to the Coldstream Guards Band and Pipers. To the Japanese people and the citizens of Urayasu city, Japan thoughts, prayers are always with you.
The pipers are from the Scots Guards.
The Drum Major here is DM Staite,who is Drum Major London District. There are three Drum Majors stationed in London who are available to join Guards Bands on occasions like this. Senior Drum Major Household Division, Drum Major London District,and Drum Major Headquarters Footguards.The other five Drum Majors are attached to their battalions, and will usually lead the Regimental Band when parading with their battalion.
I guess it's the first time for the Coldstream guards coming to Urayasu, at least true in the last 10 yrs.
Even if it's not such a special event but only a traditional holiday, you may notice many people switch to brighter and colorful-than-usual clothes, going to the park or the streets nearby, enjoying various kinds of petit foods, beer and playing simple games with their families or friends. In that sense, they are the people living here and the tourists enjoying the life around.
Regrettably Hielan Laddie was missing in the performance
Peace and love my Japanese friends 🇬🇧🦖🎌
amazing ...need more of these videos .regards from Canada
Love Canada from the UK
perfect performance!
No country does pomp and ceremony like the British. Well done, and thank you Japan for hosting the Coldstream Guards.
They usually do that when infront of massed bands,instead of just using hand signals,as the mace can be seen more easily from a distance.
10:19 "Where's the Queen?" Lol
Dont be a Twat!!
Great audience!
Amazing Grace 💕
Beautiful and perfect performance...proud to be an Englishman .
1878 sound of glory.
Foot Guard bands never fails to amazed me, they're always awesome to watch performing.
Excellent display. Full marks to the Japanese for their support. One has to say that the Japanese love to be entertained. No effort is ever wasted in that direction in Japan.
alot of memory on mobiles was used that day
Definitely lol
Great video and excellent sound recording. Thanks for uploading.
Band is Coldstream Guards. The Bagpipers are Scots Guards. The Coldstream Guards don't have bagpipes, only the Scots and Irish guards have bagpipers in the Guards division.
Brilliant!
That's Drum Major Steve Staite of the Grenadier Guards leading the Band of the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards Pipes and Drums.
Job well done gentlemen!!!!! Absolutely perfect and amazing.
Precision to the max! Beautiful execution and incredible music. Amazing grace
brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful idea it was to have the Coldstream
Guards perform in Japan. I cannot help but think how fortunate the viewing
public was on that day to witness such an incredible performance up close and
personal. Brilliant performance. Kudo’s to the cameraman.
Why are comments on these threads so often childish, aggressive and ill-informed?
As an Englishman myself, its fucking embarrassing.
Especially since the kilt was forced onto the Scots by the English. Who were too tight to pay for the full blanket!
They're mostly not. I hadn't seen any when scrolling down till I saw your observation. All positive till that point.
errr... cos it's UA-cam!
Ty YT recommendations
England should be proud of this performance of the Coldstream Guards. English military bands always look sharp. Bravo.
No you said "Bagpipes doesnt necessarily mean the Scots are involved."
Im telling you The fact that the Scots Guards were involved.
Kohima Band. Our DM was corrected by a Guards DI attached to a regimental band for doing the mark time swing you see in the video.
Its a Guards regimental band thing the Mace Swing. Normally only used on Trooping the Colour but i think they are starting to use it more regularly
Very classy.... love it! Keep the traditions going!
To those saying that the Coldstream guards are Scottish, the Coldstream guards were first formed as a regiment of the English new model army. They later inherited the name Coldstream from the town of Coldstream which is on the border of Scotland and England. So if anything they are an English regiment, if nationality is so important to you.
We are called COLDSTREAM GUARDS as we was formed in the small town called COLDSTREAM in the year of our lord 1650. That's why we are called COLDSTREAM GUARDS. as a ex COLDSTREAM GUARDSMEN I should no
Clint Goodall You weren't
Clint Goodall the Coldstream Guards are so called because, as part of the English army of occupation of Scotland, they crossed into England at Coldstream when Charles the Second retook the throne in order to pledge their allegiance.
sorry mate we was formed in the year of or lord 1650 in the boarder town of Coldstream, its the first thing you get told when you join the Coldstream guards.
please do me a favour and google the Coldstream Guards
Great camera work!
Thanks for the upload.
Thank you SO much for this rare treat 🤗💕
As Urayasu city is one of most seriously damaged places for its liquefaction near Tokyo and Tokyo Disneyland, this display is suirely a thankful gift for those people living here and trying hard to recover from the 3.11 earthquake.
Japan was promptly colonised afterwards.
いいですね（＾ν＾）
The British are coming ,The British are coming .
Yes, indeed they are.
@GrenadierGuardsDmr
Wow, great you know them well! Just guess the marching was given mainly by the Coldstream Guards, with the Drum Major and the Scots Guards specially invited for this joint performance. Anyway, thanks a lot for the info.
If anyone would like to know the origin of the red tunics, it was chosen by the British army for a very macabre reason, because it hid the blood of officers from the men, and the blood of the men from other men. Battles were won and lost by the guys who stood longest when the Musket was king, it was one of the reasons why others believed it so difficult to break a British regiment. Very clever psychology. The other reason it was so hard, is because of the music.
I've obviously never stood in the thin red line to take and receive musket fire. I have witnessed squads of marching men grow a full inch on initially hearing the sounds of the band though.
That is actually a myth. It was chosen as it was the cheapest dye.
Unfortunately not the case, it was just that that particular red was quite cheap, in high supply, and still was in the British flag so it made sense. It is also unlikely it would hide the blood of the wounded any more than if you were to imagine bleeding onto a red T-shirt, it'd look very dark. Also if you're getting shot by a musket, the calibre and stopping power of the balls would fuck you up, whether you can see the wound or not its not as if you're going to keep marching in formation, you're going down.
That's total rubbish.
Red was chosen for the British Army coat as it happened to be in plentiful stock and it was the cheapest colourd cloth they had.
True.
That's another myth. The real reasoning is that red was cheap.
Be cool to have a band representing each part of the uk like on from each of the guards ☺
One of the finest regiments of the British Army. They have one of the longest history of combat from their founding and present.
The 82nd is better!
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 Check out their Airborne school selection for the Parachute Regiment. It's no joke, they weed motherfuckers out. Ft. Benning was way too easy.
@@reddevilparatrooper Airborne school may be easy but the actual 82nd is not. 82nd and paras go hand to hand. Army airborne units are known for fighting.
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 Why are you even watching this if that's your attitude.
@@tpdib No attitude, seems like you are angry that the US Army airborne is battle proven to the start till now. Paras and army airborne are equal.
Well done the guards 🇬🇧🦖🇬🇧
British army is all the the countries in UK so get it right.
UK band queen guard in london city and japan
I could have done without the running commentary by the family in the near foreground, but whaddya gonna do?
Same people!
AMAZING GRACE, awesome tune.
クイーンガード、超かっこいいです。感動ものです(笑)
I wonder if the dignitary's were still drinking in the hospitality bar?
brilliant!!
at 7:24, what type of sergeant is that playing the trombone?
6:08
Amazing Grace... The best part.
there is a welsh guards musician in there too...whats with the mace drill now...its too....how to put it?...un-rigid....any guards drum major should take a leaf out of DM stephen wards book.......the best drum major i ever saw....marty
nice this but i can never forgive what the Japanese did to our British and Australian or other prisoners in WW2. never, never forget how brutal they were. sorry but i have no love for anything japanese. too many suffered and too many died without reason. before you get back to me on tube and say 'it's all long forgotton'..i sat often in a pub with a man called stephen who wouldn't talk about anything to do with war but we knew he was on the infamous Burma Railway, he died eventually..he never told us a thing he didn't want us to knowabout it all.
yes, a sad history, a painful life experience and it could be and should be remembered by those suffered and their following generations for a long time. and it should be particularly remembered and have a deep reflection by those who did these. it might be hard to find the true reason -- maybe some of them hadn't expected to do what they were ordered, maybe some of them wouldn't walk the same way a second time after experiencing once with regrets. and sometimes people may think more about how to move forward along with these memories. br.
Drum Major Steve Staite, one of the smartest Drum Majors ever.
I wonder what some of the crowd must think of highlanders? Since some Japanese high schools use tartan skirts for girls uniforms.
If you watch the documentary the Gren Guards Major standing next to Drum Major Staite actually says his name as an introduction 'Drum Major Staite', so are you saying the Major does not know his name as well as you ? There is no such position as senior drum major of the British Army. There are three drum majors appointed to London District as I mentioned before.
Shame nobody there to dance for pipes.
The people with bagpipe. Aren't they Scots guards?
More guards band playing in Japan.
Now I have got a better understand. Thanks a lot.
Right, so you have proved the point i was trying to make.
soulofthenorth
They’re not all Coldstream Guards because the Coldstream Guards don’t have pipers
And there was one Welsh guard and the drum majors' from the Scots guards.
The Brits are at it again.
is it true that the coldstreamers are not aloud to wear a crown on there uniform,because of Cromwell.
no the is wrong
the sergeant major has a crown rank badge.
Then it would be impossible to pass staff/colour sergeant then.
I'm not sure what criteria are used for you to see these people like tourists. But I guess the impression you got is just like what you commented, especially for this not-culture-based, unusual and one-time event. The mayor of Urayasu city is also sitting there enjoying it --not only that, the whole parade, including the marching bands from other prefectures, actually lasted for about 2 hours.
10:38 a welsh guard
Yeah, spotted the leek on the bearskin.
Yes, It is a u-turn bus terminal near the park. A dozen meters away is the beach that was seriously damaged by the earthquake of 3.11 and it is still under re-construction now. It's true a better place is good for the parade, but the theme of the parade is for the earthquake.
Coldstream Guards - Infantry Regiment in the Household Division of the British Army.
The Coldstream Guards were formed in Coldstream, Scotland in 1650.
British Army, not English, there's no such thing.
aDisabledDeer Oh yeah, totally not an English regiment.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldstream_Guards#/media/File%3AColdstream_Guards_Badge.jpg
And I fully agree with you, It's British, not English, butt hay doesn't change it used to be a English regiment named after a border town.
aDisabledDeer: No such thing as the British Army before the 1st May 1707. Before then, the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland each had their own army.
His name isnt actually Staite. Was a mistake made during filming the Guarding the Queen documentary. He is the Grenadier Guards Drum Major. and theres only 2 senior DM appointments. Senior Drum Major British Army, Senior Drum Major Household Division.
@Musicgutbucket Guess some members are from other guards band temporarily only for this show or the show is modified for the special case, they need to see the time-marker clearly to sync.
Hi It quite common for the senior DM of the household Division to swing his mace lokk at the trooping of the colour 2011
@Alfred Berg - the Coldstream Guards were originally English but now have many nationalities in it's ranks - but there are also some Scots (Guards) Pipers here and your reference to English military bands would cause them to swallow their chanters, snarl incomprehensibly and "go off on one". Believe me, you wouldn't want that :) Great show. I often visit London and Windsor, so I know what a wonderful free show the Guards put on. Good luck to Japan in the clearing up of the disaster.
Beautiful.
👍🏻🇬🇧
Fantastische muziek van de coldstream guards heb ze al bezig gezien in Londen!!
