“Kigen Nisen Roppyaku Nen“
This song was made in 1940 to celebrate the 2600 years anniversary since the founding of Japan. (It has been 2680 years in 2020.)
“Kigen“ is the abbreviation of “神武天皇即位紀元(Jimmu Tennō Sokui Kigen)“. If it is translated literally to English, it will be like, “The Era of Emperor Jimmu’s Enthronement“. Emperor Jimmu is the first Emperor of Japan.
“Ni-sen Ro-ppyaku Nen“ means 2600 years.
