Japanese National Anthem - Kimigayo

Kimigayo (His Imperial Majesty's Reign) is the national anthem of Japan. The lyrics of "Kimigayo" are the oldest among the world's national anthems, and with a length of 32 characters, they are also the world's shortest. The lyrics are from a waka poem written by an unnamed author in the Heian period, set to music composed in 1880.

This anthem demands so much authority and almost feels divine.

[@themonarchist4479]

Because it is divine! Just like His Imperial Majesty the Emperor!

[@RareCondition]

This song is also a prayer.

[@MichaelPhilipMaunes]

Long live Japan. Long live Emperor Naruhito.

The most simple and majestic anthem at the same time.
May the world soon be enlightened by the legacy of Amaterasu

[@patrioticarchive]

The best Asian anthem

[@LordDim1]

It definitely fits the ancient and serene nature of the Imperial monarchy of Japan

[@asarichan4995]

[@zuberwally8170]

Nah you should hear the anthem of the empire of korea

Russia laughing in the distance

[@eashanshetty8879]

@Steve Well, Russia is Asian as well as turkey. To be specific, both Turkey and Russia can be called as Eurasian countries ( Included in both Asia and Europe) but if you want proper asia then the Indonesian Raya can best it easily.
My choices ( According to how much I like the melody),
Asian Anthems -
1) Indonesian Raya
2) Indian Anthem
3) Kimigayo
4) Sri Lanka's Anthem
5) China's Anthem.

As a Malaysian Muslim that grew up watching Doraemon, I can say that both national anthems of Japan and Malaysia sound good in their own way! I wish I could visit Tokyo someday!
