A New Song from Japan

Let’s join Tepco! 


The song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9AlurAWSiM


A quick translation of the lyrics of the song:


Is there anyone among you who wants to join Tepco?

Is there anyone who wants to raise the flag?

Tepco is seeking human resources


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


You thrillseekers

Come to Tepco any time

We have uranium, we have plutonium! Anything you want

We are fine with using sub-contracters


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


All you pro-nuclear folks

Gather at the foot of the reactor

It won’t harm you right away

If you take a shower, you’ll be fine


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


Nuclear power is clean energy

Plutonium is not that scary

Even if it gives off radiation

The half-life is only 24,000 years.


Let’s join Tepco, Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


To support Japanese energy needs

We have to rely on nuclear power

We’ll always have some exposure

If you take iodine, you’ll be fine


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


If spent nuclear fuel is gathered up and

Put in drums, it’s safe

They’re cooled in Rokkasho pools

It’s just a matter of a patient 300 year wait


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


Water is leaking but don’t get excited

Smoke is coming out but don’t panic

The roof has blown off but everything’s okay

Because we’re cooling it down with saltwater


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


It’s not dangerous right away

But let’s toss the milk and vegetables

The bigwigs in government are saying

We’ll pay compensation with taxes


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!


Geiger counters are sold out.

Don’t you all be carrying those things

We’ll tell you the levels of radiation

And those who believe will be saved!


Let’s join Tepco! Let's join! Let’s join!

If we join Tepco, this world will be paradise.

The real men of this world join Tepco and scatter with the blossoms!
