Protocol
There are no laws prescribing behaviour during the playing of "Seigi rintaru".
Both the Miranian and Gothic lyrics are equally valid; choosing which to use is left up to the performer. Most commonly, Gothic-majority prefectures use the Gothic version, while the Miranian version is the default in the rest of Akashi.
The anthem is reserved for significant state occasions. It is not performed at sporting events (except in international tournaments where anthems are conventionally played), in schools, or used by AKH for start-ups and close-downs.
