    Lyrics:
    1,2,3, uh!
    Commodore Matthew Perry
    Arrived things are changing
    Japan opens its doors
    Uh, Japan can’t cut itself off
    From the entire world
    Meiji will restore
    Don’t try to fight foreigners
    We must work with them to later defeat them
    Uh, Through all of this a
    Young visionary calls for
    An enlightenment
    UH!
    Meiji
    Meiji
    Oh, Tokugawa
    Shogunate going down
    The Daimyo and Samurai
    Kicked you right of town
    And in their place now
    Mutsohito now rules
    Wants a modern country and a strong military
    He kept on saying “Let’s industrialize”
    Let’s get rid, let’s get rid, let’s get rid
    Let’s get rid, let’s get rid of the feudal system
    Let’s look at the West
    Let’s follow their ways so
    we can stand up for ourselves
    We can have an empire too
    Meiji in charge, so y’all just wanna dance
    Meiji (The Meiji Restoration)
    Meiji Restoration
    Alright now fellas. Yeah?
    What brought a constitutional monarchy?
    The Charter Oath
    I can’t hear ya’
    I say What brought a constitutional monarchy to Japan?
    The Charter Oath (woo)
    Alright, alright, alright, alright
    Alright, alright, alright, alright
    Alright, alright, alright, alright
    Alright, alright,
    OK now ladies Yeah?
    All citizens are equal before the law now right?
    Do not be afraid of Western technology
    Look at what they have to offer to make us stronger
    Lend me some weapons, I am your warrior
    Uh! Here we go…
    Bring it bring it bring bring it
    Bring the Western world to our doorsteps
    Bring the Western world to our doorsteps
    Let’s build some railroads and factories
    Some telegraphs, let’s modernize
    You know what to do
    You know what to do
    You know what to do
    Meiji

    There are so many teachers without any motivation who read out of textbooks and assign busywork. It's so amazing to see a teacher like you who obviously cares and puts so much time and effort into making lessons exciting and fun. I love it.

      Actually Japan in at least one way was far more lenient than Nazi Germany. Although like the Nazis they committed brutal atrocities such as mass rape against civilians and did confine its Jewish population into a ghetto Japan refused to deport Jewish people under their control to the Nazis thus saving many lives.
