This song is about that rebellion of young army and navy officers against the imperial Japanese government on Feb 26, 1936... 19 were beheaded, that's why "guillotine" was mentioned, and in Japanese, the falling of sakura implies the death of soldiers... this is indeed not an "I love Japan" song...
