Trivia

  • Mnemonic's are used throughout the song to help remember dates.
  • In the beginning of the song, they reference all the periods of Japanese history from the preceramic period (sendoki) to Reiwa (current era)
  • Asuka Period:
    • Prince Shoutoku was a regent during the Asuka period.
    • The Kani Juunikai (冠位十二階), otherwise known as the Twelve Level Cap and Rank System in English, was a ranking system established during the Asuka period.
    • This ranking system was comprised of many different colored rankings with light black (or gray) as the 12th rank and deep purple as the 1st rank.
    • Puns were made on the numbers 645 and 701 as they can be pronounced as "Mushi Gohan" and "Nao Ii".
    • 645CE was the year the Taika Reform (大化改新; Taika Kaishin) was set.
    • 701CE was the year the Taiho Code (大宝律令; Taihou Ritsuryou) was established.
  • Nara Period:
    • Heijoukyou is the ancient name of Nara
    • Nihon Shoki otherwise known as "The Chronicles of Japan" is the second oldest book of classical Japanese History which was supervised by the Imperial Prince of the Nara Period, Prince Toneri.
    • Nagaokakyou was the capital city of Japan even before Kyoto.
    • Heiankyou was the name of Ancient Kyoto.
  • Heian Period:
    • The Fujiwara Clan were a powerful family full of regents in Japan.
    • Regency Government was a political order during the Heian Period in which the Fujiwara Clan occupied most of the important positions.
    • The Byodo-in Temple was originally a monastery founded by Fujiwara no Yorimichi in 1052 of the Heian period.
  • Kamakura Period:
    • Minamoto no Yoritomo established the Kamakura Shogunate after victory in the Genpei War.
    • Goseibai Shikimoku was the legal code of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan.
    • 1333 is a mnemonic for "ichimi sanzan" (longer word being ichimi sanzan hojo-shi", which loosely translates to “a terrible clan, the Hojo family.” The first two words (ichimi and sanzan) serve as a mnemonic for the final year that the Hojo family was in power, ie. the end of the Kamakura period. Ichi (1), mi (3), sanzan (3 3). The second one mentioned is いざ, さあ, やるぞ! 武士の政治 (iza, saa, yaruzo! bushi no seiji), which loosely translates to “well, now, here we go! Warrior politics.” The first three words serve as a mnemonic for the year the first Muromachi shogun took power. Iza (1 3), saa (3), ya (8). He had the backing of the samurai and was a descendant of samurai himself, hence my choice of translation "source".
  • Muromachi Period"

    • Honnō-ji Incident refers to the assassination of Oda Nobunaga at the Honnō-ji temple in Kyoto on 21 June 1582.
    • Strawberry pants is "Ichigo Pantsu" which vaguely sounds like "1582", the year in which Oda Nobunaga was assassinated.
