Atta girl! Come here

That's my girl! Yeah!

I understand. I'll talk to him!

For a girl born in this land...

This beautiful girl is not Miyatsuko's true daughter.

What are you talking about? You're refusing to serve at court?

* The waterwheel goes round * My little girl! My Princess!

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

There, there! You're gonna be just fine. That's a good girl!

Out here in these mountains she's nothing but a country girl.

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

Bamboo shoot! Bamboo shoot!

Prepare to defend the princess!

* Blow wind, blow, blow *

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

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

His name was Sanuki no Miyatsuko.

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

Curious the bamboo cutter approached it.

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