Tsurukame (Crane and Tortoise)
New Year has come.
A feast is held at the imperial palace in Tang.
The Emperor comes out to the "Gate of Perennial Youth".
Every one of his subjects and people assembles in front of the Gate.
The number of people is a hundred million and a hundred!
Every one makes for the Gate to see the Emperor.
The noise of the people fills the universe.
In the yard of the palace is sand of gold and silver.
In the palace are hung ten to twenty embroidered curtains in brocade.
The door of the palace is made of blue jewels.
The doorsill of the palace is made of beautiful shells from India.
The bridge of the palace is made of agate.
On the edge of the lake of the palace, a tortoise is playing solemnly and a crane is flying elegantly over it.
The crane has a life of a thousand years!
The tortoise has a life of a thousand years!
The blessing of the Emperor is deep, and the palace is like a paradise.
A minister says to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please allow the crane and the tortoise to dance in front of you."
The Emperor agrees and the crane and the tortoise dance in delight.
The crane and the tortoise give eternal life to the Emperor.
The Emperor is delighted and starts to dance himself.
The stage for the Emperor is called the "Palace of the Moon".
The Emperor's dancing is brilliant.
The Emperor's costume is brilliant, too.
For the dance of spring, the Emperor is dressed in white, which evokes the moonlight.
For the dance of summer, the Emperor is dressed in multiple colours, which evoke flowers in full bloom.
For the dance of autumn, the Emperor is dressed in the colour of red leaves wet in the rain.
For the dance of winter, the Emperor is dressed in white, which evokes snow.
The orchestra plays the music of the moon in the "Palace of the Moon".
When the Emperor finishes dancing the number symbolizing the changes of the four seasons, mountains, rivers, plants, trees and the land are moved by his Majesty's dance, costume and music.
The voice of blessing the long life of a thousand years and ten thousand years of the Emperor comes up from the depths of the earth and down from the heavens.
The Emperor, who was given eternal life, goes back to his bedroom.
His subjects follow the Emperor in line.
The life of the Emperor is eternal.The name of the Emperor's bedroom is the "Bedroom of Eternity"!
The life of the Emperor is eternal. The name of the Emperor's bed is the "Bedroom of Eternity"! How auspicious it is!

Unfortunatelly, I couldn't find the original text in japanese.
@@Cherodar thanks!

Truly one of the coups of all time
THE EVERLASTING THRONE SHATTERS IN THE SILENCE.
Amaterasu mourns and places her fallen son before heaven
What a very dramatic ending for a song flexing about the Emperor having a cool bedroom lol
Imagine a time period without AC though, seems pretty proportional to me lol
Makes me feel like the Kazoku have taken over Japan and puppeted the Emperor after Japan collapsed into civil war.
@Silos the Revolutionary ...such as stabbing him @Nathan Pangilinan
One man's world . . .
A certified Kazoku Coup moment.
You mean 'a certified Tokugawa overthrow moment'?
@@leszas872anyone who refers to the capital as anything but Edo is an enemy of the Emperor and his Regent!
One of the best songs I have ever heard
Songs?
It certainly gives off a feeling an aristocratic coup has just taken place against the Emperor
I was looking for regular nagauta music but this is even more interesting
OPEN THE DOOR
The Kazoku have taken over!
The Guns have fallen silent over Chubu
And the fifth column strikes
Open na noor

15:46 mere seconds before disaster
The Chief Advisor of the Emperor is 100 (one-hundred) meters from your location and approaching rapidly.
*start running.*
Yep, the Kazoku have taken over Japan after it fell into a second Sengoku Jidai!
It's Matsudairaing time!
This was interesting and beautiful.
this is inttteresting and very wonderful!
山田耕筰 作曲｢長唄交響曲 鶴亀｣タイトルだけ見ると長唄とオーケストラのコラボ作品ぽいけど、長唄の周りでオケが勝手に合わせているだけ、でもコラボとして成立している。 100年近く前にこの発想は凄いです。 Thank you for uploading.
KAZOKU TRY TO BREACHING THE CASTLE ORDER TO EVACUATE EMPEROR IMMIDIEATLY, THIS IS NOT A DRILL...!!!!
