This one took a whole lot of time to make, I did the translation for it, aswell as the transliteration. So might aswell say some things about the song. The song's japanese name is 鶴亀 (鶴龜 in kyūjitai) [Tsuru-kame], literally meaning "Crane-Turtle". The crane and turtle are both symbols of longevity in the Far East. The song is made for a Noh play (a kind of japanese theater) and was made around the mid 19th century during the Sakoku of the Edo period under the Tokugawa shogunate. It is set in Tang dynasty China during the Chinese spring festival (commonly known as Chinese new year) where the emperor (Xuanzong of Tang) is following the tradition in a magnifiscent palace and is in the puruit of longevity.
The music in the video is composed by Kosaku Yamada, who combined western-style music with traditional japanese music around the mid-20th century.
The japanese text in the video is old, classical, kyūjitai Japanese.
Enjoy! :)
