It is performed by the BSO under the auspices of Charles Munch. • Kimigayo (君が代) is the national anthem of Japan. The title Kimigayo is usually translated as His Imperial Majesty's Reign . • Its lyrics are the oldest among the world's national anthems. Kimigayo is also one of the world's shortest national anthems. • Its lyrics come from a waka poem written in the Heian period (794–1185), however the current melody was chosen in 1880. • From 1888 to 1945 Kimigayo served as the national anthem of the Empire of Japan. When the Empire was dissolved following its surrender at the end of World War II, the State of Japan succeeded it in 1945. However, Emperor Shōwa was not dethroned, and Kimigayo was retained as the de facto national anthem. The passage of the Act on National Flag and Anthem in 1999 recognized it as the official national anthem.
