武士の胎動 - 承平・奥羽の風

平安の都、貴族の影が長く伸びる

だが、東では力が動き始める

九三五、承平の世に反乱の狼煙

平の将門、野心を燃やし、世を乱す

永承の鐘、一〇五一（なんと強引）な年

前九年、源頼義が奥羽に立ち向かう

さらに 一〇八三（人闇）、永保の時代

後三年を経て、源氏が東国に地を固める

カマクラ・ビート、揺らす大地、武士の誓い

南北の争い、金と銀の光と翳

歴史はループ、繰り返す戦いの理

さあ、次の時代へ、ビートに乗っかり！

鎌倉時代 - 質実剛健のプライド

平家を倒し、源氏の時代

一一八五（いいやGO!）、文治の政は今だ

頼朝、守護地頭を全国に配置

武家の秩序を、確かなものにガッチリ

一二二一（人に不意に）、承久の変はヤバい展開

上皇の兵を、北条政子が蹴散らす

「恩の返礼」の叫び、御家人たちも奮い立たす

一二三二（人に罪に）、貞永で定めた御成敗式目

そして、一二七四（人踏みし）、文永の嵐

一二八一（人に刃）、弘安の役は二度目の戦

元寇撃退、神風が吹いた

武士の魂、この時代に生きた

カマクラ・ビート、揺らす大地、武士の誓い

南北の争い、金と銀の光と翳

歴史はループ、繰り返す戦いの理

さあ、次の時代へ、ビートに乗っかり！

南北朝＆室町 - 華麗なる混沌（カオス）

幕府が倒れ、一三三四（いざ見ようよ）、建武の夢は儚い

足利尊氏、一三三八（いざ、さっさと）、暦応で逃がさない

北朝と南朝、二つの天子がケンカ

延元から明徳、五十年続く戦火

一三九二（いざ国に）、明徳の和約で一本化

三代義満、花の御所で君臨する

一三九四（いざ苦しむ）、応永から始まる華麗な文化

金閣きらめく、北山は優雅

だが、平和は長続きしない

一四六七（人世むなしい）、応仁の乱が都を焼いた

文明の十年、守護大名は消耗

下剋上の波、戦国へ猛進

侘び寂びの心、茶の湯の静けさ

武士の系譜、次の時代へ繋げさ

一五七三（いご、なみ）、室町は終焉

歴史は続く、終わらない永遠！

**The Stirring of the Samurai - The Johei and the Winds of Oshu (Northern Honshu)**

In the Heian capital, the shadows of the nobles stretch long,

But in the East, a new power begins to move.

Nine-thirty-five (935), the Johei Era—the signal fire of rebellion,

Taira no Masakado, his ambition ablaze, throws the world into chaos.

The bells of Eisho, the year one-thousand fifty-one (1051) (A bit forced!),

The Former Nine Years’ War, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi marches toward Oshu.

Further, one-thousand eighty-three (1083) (Man-Darkness), the Eiho Era,

Through the Latter Three Years’ War, the Minamoto clan solidify their hold on the Eastern provinces.

**Kamakura Beat, shaking the earth, the samurai's vow,**

**Conflict of North and South, the light and shadow of gold and silver.**

**History is a loop, repeating the principle of battle,**

**Now, onto the next era, riding the beat!**

**The Kamakura Period - The Pride of Austerity and Vigor**

Overthrowing the Taira, the age of the Minamoto.

Eleven-eighty-five (1185) (Good to Go!), the Bunji administration is here!

Yoritomo places Shugo and Jito across the nation,

Firmly establishing the military class's order.

Twelve-twenty-one (1221) (Unexpectedly to man), the Jokyu War is a terrifying development,

Hojo Masako scatters the Retired Emperor's troops.

The cry of "Repay your debt of gratitude," stirring the *Gokenin* (vassals).

Twelve-thirty-two (1232) (Guilt to man), the *Goseibai Shikimoku* (Formulary of Adjudications) is established in Jōei.

And then, twelve-seventy-four (1274) (Man treads upon), the Bun'ei storm,

Twelve-eighty-one (1281) (Blade to man), the Koan War is the second battle.

The Mongol Invasions repelled, the Divine Wind (*Kamikaze*) blew,

The soul of the samurai lived in this age.

**Kamakura Beat, shaking the earth, the samurai's vow,**

**Conflict of North and South, the light and shadow of gold and silver.**

**History is a loop, repeating the principle of battle,**

**Now, onto the next era, riding the beat!**

**Nanbokuchō & Muromachi - Brilliant Chaos**

The shogunate falls, thirteen-thirty-four (1334) (Let's see it!), the Kenmu Restoration's dream is fleeting.

Ashikaga Takauji, thirteen-thirty-eight (1338) (Now, quickly!), doesn't let go in Ryakuō.

The Northern and Southern Courts, two emperors quarrel.

From Engen to Meitoku, fifty years of continuous warfare.

Thirteen-ninety-two (1392) (Now to the country), unified by the Meitoku Reconciliation.

The third Shogun, Yoshimitsu, reigns at the Hana-no-Gosho (Flower Palace).

Thirteen-ninety-four (1394) (Now to suffer), the elegant culture begins with Ōei,

The Golden Pavilion (*Kinkaku*) shines, Kitayama is graceful.

But peace does not last long.

Fourteen-sixty-seven (1467) (A man's life is futile), the Ōnin War burns the capital.

Ten years of Bunmei, the *Shugo Daimyo* (provincial military governors) are exhausted.

The wave of *Gekokujo* (the low overthrowing the high) rushes toward the Sengoku (Warring States) Period.

The spirit of *wabi-sabi*, the stillness of the tea ceremony,

The lineage of the samurai connects to the next age.

Fifteen-seventy-three (1573) (From now on, the wave), the Muromachi Period ends,

History continues, an unending eternity!
