All the Japanese characters in the movie are written from left to right, except one phrase, which says," Empire of Japan banzai". 可影片中所有的日本字都是从左往右写的,只有一句是例外,即写着“日本天皇万岁”的那句。
banzai
[ noun ] a Japanese cheer of enthusiasm or triumph <noun.communication>
Banzai \Ban"zai"\, interj. [Jap. banzai, banzei, ten thousand years, forever.] Lit., May you live ten thousand years; -- used in salutation of the emperor and as a battle cry. [Japan] [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
To reflect the postwar constitution's emphasis on popular sovereignty, Kaifu will lead the banzai cheers from a point level with the throne instead of descending several steps, as his predecessors did.
The ceremony ended with Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, dressed in swallowtail coat, leading the Japanese guests in three cries of "banzai!" - a wish for long life.
