The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) Edit

A banquet?

A celebration of your coming of age.

A dream?

A fine thing! Yes?

A fine thing! Yes? A fine thing! Yes?

A gem with more radiance than the five colored jewel that shines on the dragon's neck!

A grain of unwarranted impurity. A question of my varasity on the subject!

A great tragedy. His back was broken... reaching for the nest.

A little baby, of course.

A maiden scoops water with a silver bowl!

A noble princess would never frolic, nor even consider part taking in such unlady like antics.

A place brimming with life.

A proper way of looking at it, is like this, so the story flows.

A true treasure...

A warrior's determination is a very powerful thing.

After His Majesty returned to his palace...

After seeing her with my own eyes... that is entirely possible, my Lord.

Ah, My Lord!

Ah! I had finally arrived at the Mountain of Horai!

Ah! I might be imagining it but she feels heavier.

Ah! I was overwhelmed by my feelings. My love for the Princess spread within me...

Ah! Mr. Miyatsuko!

Ah! Shh. Shh.

Ah! This is wonderful!

Ah! This is wonderful! I mean, it's wonderful!

Ah! Well, well, Princess!

Ah! What a beautiful little doll!

Ah! You are promised to His Majesty?

Ah... no, it's nothin'

All feel compassion.

All grief and sadness are gone.

All of these robes are yours, Your Highness.

All right, Dragon! Arise and meet your fate!

All that remained...

All that time I was wishing I was here on the mountain, playing with everyone.

All that we have done has been for the sake of this!

All the more reason... to put it in the fire.

All these gentlemen compared me to very rare treasures.

All these items would be impossible to find, even if they do exist!

All this happiness that you wished for me has been very hard to bear.

All this time I've wanted to come back to my real home.

All who live on this earth, experience them in different shades.

Alright now!

Alright, my lady!

Alright! If she is determined to play that game, I will grace her mansion with a surprise visit.

Alright! This is really strange, you know. I mean think about it...

Alright...

And a beauty that radiates out from her! Superb!

And after a grueling, harrowing journey...

And after you have put on that cap as part of the court... I will kill myself.

And can I ask you, if Your Highness' mood, would you be in the best of spirituals today?

And even the Minister of the Right!

And for some reason coming over the pass, I thought I heard your voice, singing.

And from that day forward the Bamboo Cutter and his wife...

And go somewhere different, and leave us behind.

And I had a moment of inspiration,

And I must leave you both forever.

And I won't be able to laugh anymore!

And I'll always be a part of your gang, forever and ever, too.

And in my heart...

And in time, His Majesty himself began to show interest.

And is in the process of completely rebuilding his mansion...

And it's because you feel that way the princess never changes her...

And look! We can go across that bridge and climb over the hill...

And Mr. Moon could rise up from right behind those mountains, couldn't it?

And now on the 15th day, the people of the Moon will come for me...

And Papa?

And passing her days in silence.

And put them together, as if it came from a jeweled tree on Mount Horai.

And see the cogan grass? It looks just like the bamboo grove.

And since Princess Kaguya, one of his concubines...

And so I am, and since it seems to be impossible for...

And so the Princess, under Lady Sagami's tutelage...

And that's your bamboo grove.

And the memory of this impure Earth, will lift from your mind forever.

And the mugwort looks just like trees!

And then at last, the 15th day of August came round.

And these arms of mine, will drive them away!

And thus I suggest to you the name "Princess Kaguya"

And thus, without haste, I snapped off this branch to bring to your feet.

And to make matters worse, they are all waiting impatiently in formal dress even as we speak!

And what she had truly wished for, was not some distant unobtainable treasure...

And what's wrong with that once in a while?

And when His Majesty grabbed me, in panic my heart just screamed out...

And when I picked you up and cradled you, put you on your feet and changed clothes...

And with you, Sutemaru...

And you are very brave to have travelled so far!

And you won't! I will never let you go!

Anyway... I have news about Kuramochi!

Appeared?

Are these not the jeweled branches of Horai...

Are you a servant of Princess Kaguya?

Are you okay?

As he approached it, the light flowed into the ground...

As if a dry fountain had come flowing back to life!

As is the custom, the naming ceremony was followed by putting up the hair and dawning the trailing skirt.

As of today, this will be our new home.

As time went on, rumours of the Princess' beauty grew.

As you know my true feelings have been clearly stated in the letter that has been given to you...

As your Majesty wishes.

At the order of Prince Kuramochi, we gathered together precious gems, mounted them...

Atta girl! Come here

Bamboo shoot sprouting so early? Even before the plums?

Bamboo shoot! Bamboo shoot!

Bamboo shoot! For dinner!

Bamboo shoot! Little Bamboo!

Be careful now! I will!

Beautiful!

Because I'm a fake!

Been weary to the point of exhaustion, I sat myself down by a stone on the road.

Began to learn the heirs and graces of a noble lady.

Behold!

Behold! Those precious, exquiste trees!

Better run little one!

Better wood?

Birds, bugs, beasts, grass, flowers...

Birds! Bugs! Beasts!

Bring around the carriage quickly!

Bring me one of the good baskets, please.

But don't matter how beautiful they say she is... she is still of humble birth.

But for the Princess and for Sutemaru, that tomorrow never came.

But have no fear, your suitors are trying.

But how do we choose among them? It's going to be a very difficult challenge!

But I've never even met them!

But if you leave the mountain its power, and go on a journey...

But in spite of her wishes, there was even more talk of the Princess...

But it still doesn't make it your fault.

But it won't happen.

But it's no use! They're coming for me on the 15th day!

But Poppa...

But she must be a beautiful princess. Her voice, her music...

But she was a beautiful princess just a moment ago!

But they're coming for me.

But this is the only way I feel at ease living in this house.

But this simple flower, which itself is a treasure of nature.

But weren't you happy in the capital?

But when she sang that song, I saw tears fall from her eyes.

But which itself is not consumed, only shining more brightly as the flames grow higher...

But, but...

But, I fear that... between the...

But, you can't...

But... but...

But... how do I move if I want to pick up something?

Bye! Bring us back a present!

C'mon you know what we mean? Princess Kaguya or whoever...

C'mon!

C'mon! Let's get out of here!

C'mon! Let's go!

Calm down! The storm will pass.

Can we come back tomorrow in time for stew?

Can you make it?

Can't you see? She wants me to be the person who raises her!

Careful! You do not want to touch those.

Carefully raised this miraculous child, as if she were their very own.

Clearly there wouldn't be any harm in allowing us to see her if she's as beautiful as they say?

Come here!

Come over here and listen husband...

Come round and call back my heart.

Come round, call back my heart

Come round, call back my heart

Come to a kneeling position and schuffle your knees, to move gracefully.

Come with me to that place! Far away from here!

Come with me, and we'll go!

Come...

Congratulations sir!

Could you please perhaps, accept this lovely flower as a token...

Counselor! Counselor!

Court Official!

Creating something he had never seen before.

Curious the bamboo cutter approached it.

Dada!

Dada!

Dada! Hi...

Dear Maiden...

Definetly a blessing from Heaven!

Delicious!

Delicious!

Devotion...

Did anybody hear that?

Did you say Princess Kaguya?

Dinner! Dinner! Bamboo shoot! Bamboo shoot!

Do you really want to hurt your father like this?

Do you understand that he is as happy for you, as he would be for himself?

Don't be ridiculous. For a noble princess there is nothing that will maker her perspire!

Don't be stupid!

Don't be upset, sweetheart. We're gonna take very good care of you. I promise.

Don't just sit there! Go find a lenght of cloth or something warm I can wrap her in!

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong.

Drop it in the fire.

Even a noble princess must sweat and sometimes want to laugh out loud!

Even remebering her now, words fail to express her glimmering beauty, and my heart...

Even you have to admit Akita, that Princess Kaguya is a very presumptuous name...

Every night I've begged them to let me stay!

Everyone's miserable and it's all my fault.

Everything comes back eventually.

Everything has been made ready for you. If you would be so kind to come this way...

Exactly.

Excuse me! What's going on here?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me? Where did the people who were living down below go?

Fake!

Fake!

Fake!

Fake!

Father, I'm afraid the Prince has taken his leave.

Father, my answer is no!

Father...

Father... If disobedience to His Majesty is considered a crime punishable by death...

Feast your eyes on this!

Fire!

First, allow me to ask you how you found it. It must be quite a story...

First!

Five of the most high born men in the land have come calling for one simple reason...

Flowers! And trees!

For a girl born in this land...

For me, Princess Kaguya...

For safe birth. That is a true treasure!

Forgive me, Momma and Poppa! Please forgive me!

Forgive me! Forgive me!

From that day forward, it was as if Princess Kaguya...

From the day I found you in the bamboo and held you so gently in my arms...

From the harbor at Naniwa I set course for the Mountain of Horai.

From the Moon?

From the next day on, the old Bamboo Cutter went to the capital city often...

From the palace?

From which when thrown in the fire, all the impurities is burned away...

Gentlemen please, I humbely apologize!

Gentlemen! I'm most grateful for the sentiments you expressed...

Get a change of robe!

Get me down!

Getting ready?

Ginger flowers!

Go find a long piece of ivy and bring it here!

Go on.

Go? Where?

Good morning, my lady.

Good!

Goodbye! Bye! Bring us a present!

Goodness, what's the matter?

Grand Counselor Otomo, obtain the jewel from the great dragon's neck.

Grass! Flowers!

Ha ha

Ha ha! Wonderful! It's wonderful!

Hah! That kid's weird!

Half starving, eating roots?

Happy, with me?

Have mercy on me!

Have you gotten bigger again?

Have you lost your mind!

He brought back the jeweled branch from Mount Horai!

He has?

He is doing everything he can to bring you to him...

He is true to his word! An impossible task, and he pulled it off!

He would make his way into the mountain forest and cut wild bamboo, from which he made all sorts of useful things...

He's gonna make bowls out of those.

He's traveling to Takoshi in a brave attempt to secure the stone from the dragon's neck.

Hear what?

Hello? Is anybody there?

Hello...

Her face is most angelic!

Her father has most certainly raised her well... so when she becomes mine, give her father the rank of

Her flower of a face enshrined behind that blind.

Her Highest? How much did it cost? A naming ceremony for this Princess?

Her Highness' a being who has come straight down from Heaven.

Here let me take her... Oh!

Here to Princess Kaguya to celebrate the putting up of her hair!

Here! I will bring it closer to you.

Here?

Here. Thanks.

Hey look! Look at this huge pile of gifts from the nobility!

Hey now!

Hey Princess, this is a gift from Prince Ishitsukuri.

Hey, look at this! There's mushrooms here!

Hey, that was fun!

Hey!

Hey! Come back!

Hey! Heaven gave it to me!

Hey! Hey what are you doing?

Hey! She's crying!

Hey! She's looking over here!

Hey! Tell me something? How come you know this song?

His name was Sanuki no Miyatsuko.

Hold me tighter! I don't wanna go!

Hoping to catch a glimpse, of the mysterious Princess Kaguya.

How about a small reward?

How about a song to make us feel better?

How about the koto lessons, are they coming along as well?

How about, for old time's sake, I weave you a fine bamboo cage to keep him in?

How beautiful you are!

How did you do that?

How do you do, my lord? It's an honor to meet you.

How many more princesses would be forced to shave their heads, and go into a nunery?

How much do you think the the Minister of the Right actually spent, to create that fake?

How? But...

How's practice coming along?

However I believe your ultimate happiness lies in you, becoming mine.

However if it should please Princess Kaguya, the expence is really nothing!

However, the Prince has made no effort to pay us what we are owed!

Huh?

Huh?

Huh? No!

Husband! Calm down, please!

I also saw when they beat you up.

I always wished that I could live, as do these flowers that bloom in the fields.

I am also entranced by the nameless flowers that grow by roadsides or in meadows.

I am Ayabe no Uchimaro, a craftsman belonging to the Guild of Artisans.

I am Prince Kuramochi.

I am!

I ask... that you bring them to me.

I beg for your forgivness!

I bet those... I bet those are so sweet.

I can't begin to explain it, but I have milk!

I can't run away. Not any more.

I couldn't possibly be a court lady now.

I didn't ask for this!

I do not want any of it!

I do. I have this feeling you're gonna keep on growing...

I don't believe it!

I don't care about that!

I don't know why you would say that?

I don't know.

I don't think you'd feel that way. You, living like us!

I don't want to be here anymore!

I don't want to go back, Poppa. I wanna stay here!

I don't want to leave!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it.

I have every confidence that you will bestow upon the princess a very fine name.

I have no intension of marrying anyone yet.

I have thusly summoned Lady Sagami here from the palace to educate you...

I hear you have summoned me, Prince Ishitsukuri?

I just knew that banquet was worth putting on!

I just know it!

I just know, I would have been happy.

I just... wanna go home!

I know exactly what she was feeling as she looked back at this land.

I mean, from the start all we ever tried to do was make sure you were always happy!

I mean, wonderful! Wonderful!

I must confess, that the moment I stood before Princess Kaguya...

I must get to her first!

I must prepare a bedchamber for the Prince and Your Highness!

I must say, they're certainly splendid to experience.

I never wanted it to happen like this! My love!

I prayed for someone to save me.

I remember...

I saw that!

I see that I acted in haste. So please, show yourself, you have nothing to fear.

I see... but the mountain looks dead already.

I set out on my quest desperately searching for Buddha's begging bowl...

I suppose we aren't doing this right!

I swear! I will win this race!

I then set my plan in motion...

I think she just got bigger too!

I think she's got a little heavier!

I thought I better let you know right away.

I trust you are well, Father.

I understand. I'll talk to him!

I understood it, on the day His Majesty was here.

I wanna run away with you.

I wanted to feel all the same things that she felt, and now...

I was so anxious to get here, I didn't have time to change my traveling clothes!

I was the happiest man on the face of the Earth, like I was in Heaven!

I was... I was born to live here! With the birds, bugs and beasts.

I wasn't aware there was another verse.

I will forget everything I know and love about this land.

I will happily become that noble gentleman's real treasure.

I will not let them take you! No matter how many of them come! I'll fight them off!

I will simply burn the sight of you into my eyes, and then withdraw.

I will take care of this. Leave Her Highness to me.

I will want to return to you,

I will want to return to you...

I will withdraw for today.

I will worship you morning and night. My forehead pressed to the ground in utter devotion...

I won't belong to anyone!

I won't let it happen! We'll fight to keep you!

I would love to be taken there! As I did when you said those very words, to me!

I wouldn't be surprised if he would had me! But he really did what he said he'd do!

I wouldn't know.

I'd love to see them all!

I'll be back later!

I'll be right there helping!

I'll carry you on my back and run forever!

I'll go look.

I'll hold you tight! I won't ever let go!

I'll just leave the bird right here.

I'll protect you! I'll protect you from everyone!

I'll run, too! As fast as I can!

I'll save this for the others.

I'm a fake jeweled branch or a fire rat fur robe that turns to ashes.

I'm a little worried, those boys are rough. She might get hurt playing with them.

I'm afraid that's not an acceptable answer!

I'm coming down to help you.

I'm glad you understand.

I'm gonna get this all over you!

I'm happy to see my teachings are reaching you.

I'm Prince Ishitsukuri! Princess Kaguya, if you consent to be my wife...

I'm sincerely sorry. I'll go see.

I'm so happy to see you!

I'm so proud, Lord Akita, that is the most wonderful name I've ever heard!

I'm sorry, but please refuse.

I'm sorry, but there is no longer anything I can do.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! But that's just the way things are done!

I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to feel happy?

I'm sure that's all I am to those gentlemen.

I'm thirsty.

I'm told that Grand Counselor Otomo has gone by ship...

I'm very sorry, your Highness.

I'm your trifle to win the heart of this lovely damsel.

I've been found.

I've just loved you as if you were my very own child!

I've lost everything! It's a complete disaster!

I've seen this before. I've seen it.

If I hear that you pine for me, I will want to return to you.

If I hear that you pine for me...

If I see her face as it really is...

If I wish you to come, they you must obey!

If it's truly made of fire rat fur...

If only Lady Sagami were here!

If placed in the fire, it should not burn.

If she has so stubbornly refused all these men, it must be the wish of this Princess Kaguya... to come to me.

If we're having a party, can we can invite my friends?

If you are waiting for me, I will return to you...

If you please...

If you use up all the trees, the mountain is ruined.

If your are, give her this for me! Give this to her!

Ignoring what you want from me, and fooling myself with tiny fake meadows and mountains!

Ill mannered as such a move may be, in the end we had no choice!

Important nobles in the land.

Impossible!

Impossible! It can't be done!

In a place far away from here, husband?

In front of you, she performs perfectly but with me, she's all games!

In rags like these?

In that case then...

In the ways of nobility. Her job is to make you a noble princess!

In this strange land, that song has always been inside my heart.

Indeed, I must say that melody was quite out of this world.

Is everyone?!

Is everything going smoothly?

Is he alright?

Is it okay if call you that?

Is it something you can't tell even me?

Is something more precious and natural, like the warm cowry shell amulets, swallows use as a charm...

Is that true? It's very possible.

Is that what this is for?

Is that you Momma?

Is this one alright?

It can't happen.

It comes back to life. Trees need a good ten years, then you can work them again!

It flows with water of gold and precious gems!

It hardly matters because with any of these fine princely men, you'll be happy forever... and ever!

It is a beautiful scroll, is it not?

It is all beacause you told me to burn it!

It is as you requested. The jeweled branch of Mount Horai.

It is my fault. All of it, is my fault!

It is you, who doesn't understand!

It looks completely different from down here!

It shimmers with an absolutely wonderous light!

It suddenly dawned on me, that what I really wanted to bring the Princess...

It was such a mystery to me. I had to know what those feelings from Earth were?

It wasn't real?

It will not burn but merely glisten... all the brighter.

It wont hold!

It would be fun to plant some of the things I like.

It's a lovely day, isn't it? The plants in the garden seem to be thriving!

It's a miracle! This must be a blessing from Heaven, I'm sure of it!

It's all fake! And so am I! So am I!

It's alright Little Bamboo.

It's been a long time.

It's coming your way Sutemaru!

It's extraordinary! In all the world, there's never been an engagement gift as costly as the one I'm holding here!

It's extraordinary! You'll be one of His Majesty's wives.

It's heading for you! Little Bamboo!

It's like a circle, just when you think one ends, another begins again.

It's like that for charcoal burning too.

It's like... I'm not even at my own party.

It's not impure!

It's not once in a while, it's all the time!

It's not too late to save you! It's not!

It's not your fault. It's not! You mustn't blame yourself.

It's nothing a little bit of spit won't fix.

It's nothing if you answer back! Answer back by simply being alive!

It's obvious from far away look in your eyes.

It's on the neck!

It's quite a story, they say he has sent his wife far away

It's quite an accomplishment!

It's really hot!

It's Sutemaru!

It's time to go!

It's too late!

It's too late.

It's very suspicious and I'm starting to wonder if someone else has trained her before...

It's you!

Just look at these! Look at them all!

Just pay us our fee! We are here to collect for the jeweled branch that we made!

Just put it down.

Just... what is it we have done to deserve this?

Keep everyone back!

Keep your back like so, as straight as an arrow. Swish up perfectly, like this.

Lacquer?

Lady Sagami! You have to see these!

Lady Sagami? Lady Sagami?

Lately you never come in to see me.

Leave it!

Let go! She must read this letter!

Let me go! I will never be yours!

Let us laugh and sleep and sing. Let us follow our hearts.

Let's go home. But...

Let's go!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's play her game. Send word she is to appear before me!

Let's run away!

Let's run.

Like the blooms on that exquiste flower.

Like this...

Listen to you! You still don't comprehend how your daughter feels?

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo!

Little Bamboo! Be quiet!

Little Bamboo! Can you please take him? Sure!

Little Bamboo! Chase it to the left!

Little Bamboo! It's okay, c'mon jump!

Little Bamboo! Princess... come here!

Little Bamboo?

Little Bamboo.

Little Bamboo...

Living in a mansion, eating fine food, wearing nice clothes...

Long ago in the City of the Moon, a woman who had just returned from Earth, would sing this song.

Look at it now! Look, look!

Look, Sutemaru!

Look!

Look! A pheasant!

Look! Now it's really flowing!

Look! That's where our houses are.

Look! The plum blossoms!

Look! There's a baby in there!

Look! You see?

Looks good.

Lord Minister of the Right Abe, bring a robe made of fire rat fur.

Mama!

May I ask please, who might you be, my lady?

Maybe she looks like some kind of goblin!

Me, too?

Middle Counselor Isonokami, please bring me the swallow's cowry shell...

Momma, would you give a part of the garden to me?

Move! Get out of my way!

My daughter knows nothing of the ways of the world.

My embrace pleases all women!

My entire fortune burning up in my hand!

My heavens! I have to go!

My Heavens! What a lot of noise they're making!

My Lord! This child is clearly in desperate need of my instruction.

My Princess! Get yourself a change of range. I mean, a range of chobes!

My, how beautiful!

Naturally, I would have liked to have started earlier but I, Sagami, will mould her into a truely fine young lady.

Next to call at the mansion was Lord Abe, Minister of the Right.

No no no! Don't be silly, there is more to raising a child than you think.

No no, that's lacquer! You'll get a rash!

No no! I'm afraid that would be out of the question.

No one in this land is allowed to disobey an order from His Majesty! In the slightest degree!

No quiet, you'll wake her. She's sleeping.

No she's not!

No wait!

No, no no no...

No!

No! Get away!

No! Please don't give it another thought.

No! That can't be!

No! Wait!

No! You must give this to her!

No... not at all.

Noble princess?

Not only that, I will wear the hat of a court official!

Not so, Lord Minister.

Not yet!

Nothing has happened.

Now at last, after all this effort, Her Highness will finally be happy!

Now I realize that.

Now now, let us go.

Now please, express your proposal to the Princess in order.

Now that's interesting! She could be some kind of forest spirit!

Now what do you think about that, huh?

Now, let's go.

Now, let's waste no more time with games!

Now! After we recieve the gift, you must prepare yourself quickly to be married to the Prince.

Of course it is, mam.

Of course you can, Little Bamboo!

Of course, Princess!

Of course. So that means we have to raise the baby properly right from the start.

Of the depth of my feelings?

Of the Supple Bamboo?

Oh and thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Oh Heaven, oh Earth!

Oh my! It is just like home! That's right!

Oh my! She is such a beautiful little princess!

Oh no, please don't go...

Oh no! A noble princess should never show...

Oh Poppa! I'm sorry.

Oh that? That was nothing.

Oh you poor thing! I guess you were really hungry.

Oh, and mountain g****s!

Oh, my!

Oh, my!

Oh, my! Beautiful!

Oh, my! It's beautiful!

Oh, the Princess is close by!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh! Hey you're bleeding!

Oh! It is quite a story!

Oh! It makes me so proud to see you practicing your letters...

Oh! No, no, no!

Oh! Please don't worry!

Oh! Someone's running this way.

Oh! That's right!

Oh! Wonderful! Wonderful! All these princes are interested in her...

Oh! You poor thing! There is something very deep behind this, isn't there?

Oh! You're taking about Princess Kaguya?

Oh? Well I'm the one who'll raise her.

Once I dawn this robe...

Once upon a time long long ago now, there lived an old bamboo cutter.

Once you have become a noble princess, you must marry a suitable gentleman as quickly as possible!

One day he noticed a light shining from inside a bamboo stalk...

One look is worth a hundred stories.

One moment, please.

Only now, when I'm forced to go back to the Moon, do i finally remember...

Or worse!

Our needs will be supplied. And we'll spin out a beautiful tale.

Out of the way!

Outside!

Outside?

Over meadow and mountain I walked, calling on temples throughout the land.

Pheasant! Pheasant! Pheasant stew!

Pick up! Pick up!

Pick up! Pick up!

Please come with me to some place far away from here!

Please forgive my appearance.

Please forgive us!

Please let me stay, just a little longer!

Please tell me what is the name of that mountain?

Please wait, Your Highness! Please wait!

Please Your Highness, come out and greet this gentlemen who will give you your name.

Please, just give it to her.

Please, not yet.

Please, Princess.

Please, won't you see for yourself Your Highness!

Please!

Please!

Please!

Please! No... no!

Please... come in! I'll show you the way.

Plucked from the field like a flower and then thrown away?

Poppa, I can swim in there... can't I?

Poppa, if your happiness depends on wearing the cap of a court official...

Precious as that...

Prepare a bedchamber...?

Prepare a carriage quickly. Don't bring the word to anyone.

Prepare to defend the princess!

Prince Ishitsukuri, the stone begging bowl of Lord Buddha.

Prince Kuramochi, present to me a jewel branch from Mount Horai.

Princess and myself, there remains an issue...

Princess Kaguya has not left my heart for even a moment...

Princess Kaguya, can you see it? Come closer!

Princess Kaguya, to me you are as a robe of fire rat fur.

Princess Kaguya, would come out to the pavillion every night...

Princess Kaguya, you are an exquiste treasure that is as unattainable...

Princess Kaguya! In truth you are to me...

Princess Kaguya... a truly fine name.

Princess, I want you to come with me, to that place.

Princess, Princess... come here Little Bamboo!

Princess, these five gentlemen were only using them as comparisons!

Princess, to me... Councilor Otomo

Princess, what's wrong?

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess! Come here!

Princess! Come here!

Princess! Come here!

Princess! Daughter!

Princess! Don't leave us!

Princess! Princess!

Princess! Princess!

Princess! Where is the Princess?

Princess...

Princess...

Princess... come here!

Princess... come here!

Princess... come here!

Quickly where is Princess Kaguya?

Raise her? She's already a perfect little princess.

Really my friend! This is all a bit pretentious, don't you think?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Remember your promise.

Right now?

Right?

See for yourself.

See that she gets this! Please! She needs this gift!

See! It looks like the mountain, doesn't it?

See? There she is!

See? They obviously consider you to be one of them!

She can walk now!

She grows fast! Like bamboo!

She has a form as graceful as supple bamboo...

She has burnt her last bridge. I will take my leave of you!

She has led five of the highest nobles of the land, around... by their nose! Interesting!

She has turned down an offer to live at the palace? No woman has ever turned me down before!

She hasn't been properly made up yet. I am truly ashamed and I must apologize to you!

She just appeared to me in the grove.

She just got even heavier!

She looks like an adorable little princess.

She plays the koto beautifully!

She seems to be growing right before our very eyes.

She wanted...

She was found in a bamboo stalk.

She was never supposed to stay in the mountains like some kind of common girl.

She will be my wife!

She'll remain a jewel that no one can acquire.
