《God Save the Queen》 - God Save the Queen

Japanese: 《神よ女王を守らせたまえ》 - かみよじょおうをまもらせたまえ
《God Save the Queen》 - God Save the Queen

...a piece of music that a nation legally or unofficially designates as its symbol. The Japanese national anthem, like the English national anthem, the French hymne (or chant) national, and the German Nationalhymne, is meant to be a song of the people, but there are also national anthems that are instrumental and have no lyrics. Most national anthems were created in response to the need for use at international events following the establishment of modern nations in the 19th century. Therefore, the first function of a national anthem is to demonstrate the independence of a nation to other nations, and the second function is to strengthen the internal unity of a nation.
