The Embassy of Japan in India would like to wish all of our Indian friends a very happy Independence Day of India!!
On the auspicious occasion of India completing 75 glorious years of her independence, the staff members of the Embassy of Japan presents you with a vocal and instrumental rendition of the National Anthem of Japan.
 
Dressed in traditional Indian attire, donning tricolor dupattas and holding the Indian National Flag high, the Japanese and Indian staff members of the Embassy proudly sing the National Anthem of India “Jana Gana Mana” on the Embassy premises. The celebrations mark the occasion of India completing 75 years of independence this auspicious year, which also coincides with 70th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and India.
 
Abuzz with the tiranga fervor, the Embassy staff members collectively perform in front of the symbolic Peepal tree which in itself is a personification of Japan-India friendship. The majestic tree, which is considered sacred in various Indian traditions, was planted by Their Majesties the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita of Japan during their visit to India in 1960.
 
Apart from the vocal performance, the Japanese staff members put together an instrumental performance of the National Anthem using various musical instruments including a traditional Japanese instrument called "Sanshin."
 
Through this musical celebration, we are delighted to share our sense of joy in performing the National Anthem of India with you all. We hope that it will convey the message of strong friendship that exists between Japan and India.
