	Kimi Ga Yo - Wikipedia
		Although Kimi Ga Yo has long been treated as defacto Japan's national anthem, it was only legally recognized as such in 1999 with the passing of the Law Concerning the National Flag and Anthem.
		Schools have seen conflict over both the anthem and the flag, as the Ministry of Education requires the anthem to be sung and the flag to be flown at events at Japanese public schools, and school teachers to respect both (by, for example, standing for the singing of the anthem) or risk losing their jobs.
		Opponents respond that as Japan is a democratic country, a national anthem praising a monarch is not appropriate and that forced participation in a ceremony involving the singing of an anthem is against the free thought clause in the Japanese Constitution.

	DUO - Digital utgivelse ved Universitetet i Oslo - The legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo as Japan's national flag and anthem and its connections to the political campaign of "healthy nationalism and internationalism"
		The legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo as the national flag and anthem of Japan in 1999 was the result of a political campaign to increase so-called “patriotism” or “healthy nationalism”, initiated in the 1980s by conservative politicians such as Prime Minister Nakasone.
		Thorough discussions concerning the questions at the issue’s core, such as the questions of national consciousness and war responsibility, were avoided and the law was pushed through the Diet within a few months, even though SDP, and JCP opposed it.
		This political campaign to increase “patriotism” or “healthy nationalism” focused on the field of education, where the controversy regarding its occurrence was strongest, with the Ministry of Education, Monbushô, and the Japan Teachers’ Union, Nikkyôso, as the main opponents.
