The Shinshuu Plains [A Series]

Kamiki Village Festival

We are in the peaceful village Kamiki

And the majestic sun has set,

We are drinking barrels of sake

So we'll never again fret.

The sake brewer Kushi

And her flowering rice fields

Produce Nippon’s best sake

In significant yields.

The firework-maker Tama

Has been smoking off his pipe,

He sends off his fireworks

To light up the clear night.

Mr. Orange, the Kamiki Village Elder,

Dances for the Great Sakura Trees,

He creates an emotional shelter

By downing jugs of sake.

Relaxing in the crab grass

As the boy plays with his dog,

They have been such great companions

As they’ve been through thick fog.

Once every hundred years

Is the Kamiki Festival held,

We have shed so many tears

And strife have we beheld.

But those days are over now,

We approach in era of peace

With the aid of the troops of Tao;

May this era never cease!

The majestic sword of lighting

That was perched on her back,

It would continue forever fighting

On the holiest of tracks.

So the night of great joy ends,

And we have many new friends

But we say “Goodnight, and have a great time;

We won’t be back again.”

We’re off to the Celestial Plains

Of a spaceship do we hold the reins

It is where majesty ne’er feigns

And where Okami always reigns.
