Man'en (万延) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Ansei and before Bunkyū. This period spanned the years from March 1860 through February 1861. The reigning emperor was Kōmei-tennō (孝明天皇).
The new era name is derived from an hortatory aphorism to be found in The Book of the Later Han: "With 100,000,000,000 descendants, your name will forever be recorded" (豊千億之子孫、歴万載而永延).
Edo Castle's Sakurada Gate (Sakurada-mon): The assassination of Ii Naosuke occurred nearby.
Everything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
Everything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
And with things changing
So much, so fast, so once, so while
And I'm still waiting to see you
When you die alone
And wait for nothing now
Sit alone and wait to die (to die)
Nothing changes...
So stop, so still, so cut and dry
I'm still waiting to say the truth that I can't wait to watch you die
I know you heard me say it now a million times
To say die alone and wait for nothing now
Wait! That's just not right!
To sit alone and wait for you to see that I have nothing left to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To see that I have nothing left to say (to say)

Wake up! Summer's almost here
