I love the contrast between how "socially restrictive" Japanese society seems, and how it's okay for one guy to just randomly shout traditional greetings at the Emperor in the middle of a crowded auditorium.
Samurai Spirit!
It’s not really a greeting, it means “Long live the Emperor”
He probably didn't make out very well from this experience.
Yeah.. but it's "long live!" It's short for the phrase "Heika Tennou Banzai!" Or in direct translation: "Currently-Reigning Heaven-King Long-live!" It's like saying "God Bless America" or "God Save the King" it's a national blessing thing. So... It's probably okay. Plus, His Majesty's reaction probably made it so that anyone upset didn't do anything about it. Since He bowed at the person saying it.
it's like someone randomly shouting: "Long Live the King" when King Charles walks out... so socially awkward!! /s

I met him in 2001 when we lived in Sasebo. Didn't know he was in town. Didn't even know what he looked like. It was totally by chance. But I do know one thing. He is very kind. The Emperor of Japan made funny goofy faces with my very young children.

This is important because the emperor almost never bows, one important exception being when saluting war heroes. Before WW2 the emperor used to visit the Yasukuni shrine to pay respects to war heroes and Japanese soldiers were well aware of this. They knew that if they died in combat the emperor himself will come to pay respects. 'See you at Yasukuni' was a commonly used phrase to say goodbye among soldiers. However the emperor (since Hirohito) has stopped visiting the shrine allegedly because WW2 war criminals from Tokyo Trial were 'secretly' included in the shrine's 'book of souls'. Now they have a separate ceremony (that you see in the video) outside the shrine.
Because they were war criminals. Japan's crimes in Manchuria will never he forgotten.

In case you don't know, Banzai doesn't mean "Charge" but it means "Ten Thousand Years" or "Long live". When the soldiers charged they shouted "Tenno Heika Banzai" which means "Long live the Emperor"

The story behind this is, Akihito announced his retiring plan a week before this ceremony.
The salute has nothing to do with the Empire or the militarism. It is a tribute to an 82-year-old man devoted his whole life to his country.

Dude, so good, oh my God Jajajajajajajja...!!!
Seeing all these jokes made about the ww2, it's extremely interesting that everyone seems to be more focused on how the word sounds than its meaning.
The same with symbols. People on the internet seems to think that the world unanimously agrees that the nazi symbol represents the atrocities they committed when in reality, Hitler used it for the sole reason that it looks cool. They don't care if it has a different meaning in other cultures. Everyone just doesn't want see it. They don't want others to use it either. The meaning and origin be damned. And then they act like the people who has no knowledge of the Nazis are the uneducated ones, lol. Not everyone is fed with useless information that has nothing to do with their lives at an early age. Making yourselves the center of everything and not respecting other cultures is ironically what uneducated people would act.

Banzai was the word that japanese soldiers shouted before running to death in 2nd world war, when they said this its when they knew they were going to die for the empire. And kamikazes (suicide plane bombers) also shouted this.
Gronchotupac Dang... then that's pretty fucked up. But I get it, it's just a tradition or whatever.
Banzai means "ten thousand years", Basically wishing the emperor a long life.
Tennōheika Banzai is the phrase you hear when soldiers charge, it means "Long live His Majesty the Emperor"
since the japanese believed they died for their emperor it's no surprise they wanted to honor him one last time.
Glad that they still keep the tradition.

@@joshualegault1095 but for who?

It's just a favorite saying of theirs. I mean they had a funny TV show called banzai. It was weird. They would be zoomed in on a woman getting undressed in a window and when she got naked the camera would zoom out and the camera would zoom out and some old Japanese dude would tell banzai. The Japanese language has like a tenth of the words that English has too so a lot of things they say are circumstantial.

Most of people who are not Japanese don’t know what „Banzai“ means, they only know Banzai „Attack“.
And some people mentioned „Banzai means 10,000 years, long live“, it is correct but it is also too literally.
Banzai means „Hurray“. As like „viva“ in Italian and Spanish, „ura“ in Russian.
And in german ,,heil“

They just shout "long live" or "hurrah" (literally "ten thousand years"). It is used to respect the emperor and for example at the dissolution of the House of Representatives.
In another time, such words could strike fear and contempt nearly unparalleled to anything we might know today. But today, it seems much more formal and endearing.
It actually means "Ten Thousand Years of Happiness" although technically it translates as "Ten Thousand Years" and is derived from the same phrase that was saluted to the Emperor of China starting in about the Tang Dynasty around the year 619. It is exclusively used for the Emperor and was used by China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. Since only Japan has the only surviving Imperial Family and Emperor of the four nations, it is used sparingly for the Emperor of Japan in modern day.
I wish he would walk a little slower next time. Hard for camera to keep up.

I love these 2 human souls. Did you know the Emperor was actually an expert marine biologist ? He actually discovered certain things about marine life. Also his wife is very good at making poems. They truly are 2 enlightening beings.
Cute
They kinda ordered more people to be murdered in camps than hit.er did.
@Altaf Hussain they all look the same to me

people in the crowd bowing to the emperor even when they are so far away, that's some ultimate respect & loyalty right there
For what? The lost war? The warcrimes? The dead foreigners?
He is basically their God quite literally.
@@mr.vargas5648 not a god, not literally. This isnt the 1940’s anymore
@@kanemomon I see.
@@mr.vargas5648 There respect him as their Emperor and leader of their country, they don't look to him as a God anymore... its 2023 not 1940s.
You can tell by the way he walks that there is something special to him, perhaps due to his ancestor being a Shinto God.
Banzai is still a used chant in Japan. Used to wish good luck upon someone
Akin Khoo
Well they raped 20,000 and killed 300,000 in Nanjing, why wouldn't they steal their culture too?
and Then the War has Ended, Nobody take Banzai as the Glorious Praise term That Much anyways.
In the Meantime they're free to use it as a Cheer words, i guess?
It means long live (the king) you weeb, literrally means "thousands of years"
that's only what they think but we all know america damaged the whole world with those nuclear bombs
Schützengrabenvernichtungspanzerkraftwagen you mean those nuclear weapons which prevented a full scale invasion of the Japanese Homeland, which would have most likely ended in houndreds of thousands of more lives lost
? Not to mention, the Soviet Union was already preparing their own offensive against Japan after the surrender of the German forces in the west. Would you have preferred a country split between Russia and the U.S.? Or possibly occupied by Russia alone? Would history have been more favorable too you with the increased Lose of life, and potential communist dictatorship that could have taken place just like in North Korea?
Elderly american man: Sweating profusely
Probably not, the banzai charge was something that almost always ended up with a very large pile of japanese corpses infront of the trenches. Charging while screaming wildly isnt something that has made much military sense in about 300 years.
@@jimboblordofeskimos Still left people permanently scarred. Imagine reading a book in your trench and suddenly hearing hundreds of men running at you with bayonets and swords fixed. It'd definitely make a few people shit themselves that's for sure.
@@120mmsmoothbore2 that is very true, however if I get the choice between being the guy looking down at the corpse thinking 'well that was bloody terrifying' and being the corpse, id say the guy who wakes up sweating 20 years later is the winner.
@@jimboblordofeskimos I don't think that's something you can answer indefinitely until it happens, fortunately.
@@jimboblordofeskimos But it had a large impact on the soldier's morale, even though it doesn't makr much sense, it was stressful and demoralizing
HAIL Nippon, this emperor has my respect
While the Emperor no longer has any political power at all, and church and state are separated, he is the living symbol of the nation and the people.
His dynasty has been reigning since time immemorial.
When Japanese Banzai Salute the emperor it's cool, but when I Banzai Salute the president of the United States I get arrested for terrorist actions against the leader of the us ...

@Grand Admiral Thrawn yeah bro, you know nothing 😂, moon was just a tool for a hecking calendar, keep your mouth shut if don't know anything.
Popularization of using moon as a Religious symbol only start after The Ottoman era, which likes centuries after the Prophet's Deaths, We use Tauhidallah in our flag, but you guys can't read arabic , thats why the use of moon started.
