The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The lyrics are from a waka poem written by an unnamed author in the Heian period, making the lyrics of "Kimigayo" the oldest lyrics of any national anthem.
- The current melody was chosen in 1880, replacing an unpopular melody composed by John William Fenton in 1869.
- While the title "Kimigayo" is usually translated as "His Majesty's Reign", no official translation of the title or lyrics have been established in law.

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Kimigayo article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
