"Banzai" is a Japanese cheer that can be translates as "Long life!" or "Hurrah!" It is usually repeated three times to express enthusiasm, celebrate a victory, applause and favor on happy occasion while raising both arms. It is commonly done together with the large group of people.

Foreign (non Japanese) people seem to confuse "Banzai" with a war cry. It is probably because the Japanese soldiers shouted "Tennouheika Banzai!" when they were dying during World War II. In this context what they meant was "Long live the Emperor" or "Salute the Emperor".

In Europe we tend to respond with a degree af awkwardness.
 
Why is Japan not extending military help to Jordan? or make co-operation agreement?
