Artistic expressions have always been a communication tool of one's protest, andamong those, creating and singing songs can be considered as one of the importantelements. Thus in actual Japan, in the growing civil movement of anti-nuclear powerplant that emerged after the severe accidents of 2011 in Fukushima, the artists stand upin creating and singing their anti-nuclear opinion.The present study will take one example among these songs: "Zutto uso datta" ("Beentelling a lie all the time"), a parody of the same author's famous song: "Zutto suki datta"(Been loving you all the time), created and sung by a Japanese rock singer, KazuyoshiSaito (1966- ).Analysis of this Japanese song will be based on those made of the 1960s anti-warsongs of Vietnam as an object of comparison. In the existing literature, Yoshii analyzedTrinh Cong Son's creation, a famous Vietnamese musician in 1960s, it attempted touniversal success in describing everyday scenes in wartime Vietnam and letting a civilshout his/her feeling (Yoshii, 2004).Though it is only a parody and not a new creation, the success of Saito's 2011creation can also be explained by its characteristic of "letting a civil to shout his/herfeeling".
