Even the fragrant flowers will scatter[1] The country where the sun rises first, Cipangu ("Nice to meet you again, I am Japan. My hobbies are... Reading the mood and refraining from speaking.") In my lengthy history There were times I hid away[3] Compared to everyone else I'm an old man, floating in the orient From America-san's unreasonable requests I raise my experience points every day and strive on It's an amazing color But I cannot eat it, and yet I still accept it There are also days I feel like I'll never understand these young ones[4] But my warrior spirit Is the one thing I haven't forgotten When it comes to minaturization, please leave it to me I have even prepared one in every color When it comes to 2D, the body will not be corrupted Though the heart will, a little Even the fragrant flowers will scatter The country where the sun rises first, Cipangu Just as this country opened up I was shocked by all of the sudden changes I wore western clothes and shoes as best as I could!
