GRAVE OF ASHIKAGA TAKAUJI
TOMOICHI
Before I can rise a star
I've got to dive in
Before the beast I set free
Can go to sleep
There was a child born cursed
Surrounded by despair and sorrow
He took his meals on the ground with the animals
Eating with a face that looked like a dog's dinner
The spirits of the fallen Heike
Follow him everywhere he goes
A curse is lifted with each story he finds
The beast becomes a boy
What a strange fate
The cursed boy of the Hie-za
Now takes the stage
Under the bridge at Rokujo
To begin his tale
Let's see how it ends
The spirits gather round him
In their search for eternal rest
He sings the tales
Of the lost and the wretched
A child brought into the world with no name
Crying among voices of despair and misery
He stands on his own stage
And dances unfettered
Just the way he is
Maybe he's not so different from us after all
Rising from the darkness
And climbing up to the sky
To write a tale in the stars
Let the world know your name
Come on, people
Let's see how it ends
This is our tale
Let's see how it ends
Let the world know your name
His arm was taken
And so was his head
Tadanori led a cavalry of 100
But every one of them turned and ran!
That's right!A motley crew of 100
Every single one of them fled for the shore
No... It isn't true... Look over here...
At this persimmon tree
The tree is bare now
But one day fruit will grow
Who fled by ship?
And where are the Heike troops?!
Where?
1,000 warriors in the water
Trying to board a fleeing ship... We're going down!
They chopped off the arms
That clung to the sides of the ship
But their cruelty was in vain
The sea had the ship in its grasp
The many arms that reached up
Were cut off by those above them
Let go! Don't let go!
All that was left of the soldiers
Were their arms hanging from the ship
Only their arms!
To think that Tadanori's guards
Had turned and run
They ran... Turn back!
Hurry back to Lord Tadanori
But they were already too late
They found no head and no body
Only his right arm remained
Unable to save their lord
All they could do was gather up
The countless arms that washed ashore in sorrow
And mourn the souls that had been lost
They begged the dead for forgiveness
But how could they ever redeem themselves?
The arms of 1,000 fallen soldiers
And the arm of Lord Tadanori!
They built a burial mound for the arms
And prayed the dead would find peace...
From the branches of the persimmon tree
Grew 1,000 arms
This is the Burial Mound of Arms
And this is where we begin!
Best show around Talk of the town
A monstrous arm becomes a human arm
Was it really a curse?
What's gonna change next?
The fallen Heike gather round him
In their search for eternal rest
He listens to them and tells their stories
Dancing and singing
As only he can
Even the leader of the Hie-za
Can only watch from the shadows
Inu-oh climbs into the sky
How far do you think he can go?
Let's see how it ends
Come on, people
Let's see how it ends
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, let's see how it ends
A one-time performance
Never the same story twice
"Burial Mound of Arms," "Shigemori"
What's he gonna do next?
You don't want to miss it
Hey, let's see how it ends
Come on, everybody
Let's see how it ends
Scales on his back, hair on his chest
But maybe that'll change right before our eyes
Just one time, a one-time performance
The moment we've been waiting for
This is our moment
This is our moment!
INU-OH
A huge, huge whale
A huge whale is coming
A huge, huge, huge whale
A huge whale is coming
He stakes it all on 1,000 dolphins
If they turn and swim back the Heike win at Dan-no-ura
A huge, huge, huge whale
A huge whale is coming
The dolphins will show us who fortune favors
Whose side will you take, dolphins? What's the future hold?
A huge, huge, huge whale
A huge whale is coming
A huge, huge, huge whale
A huge whale
A huge whale is coming
Tired of waiting for the 100-year whale
1,000 dolphins that turned away from the Heike
The whale didn't come
The whale didn't come!
The Heike have fallen... But it isn't over!
You think I'd let the story end here?
The whale is yet to come
I've been waiting and waiting
100 years for the whale to return
1,000 dolphins, 10,000 dolphins
Waiting 100 years for the dolphins to come
Waiting for the day they swim back
From the distant shore across the sea
We've been waiting for so long
Still waiting for the whale to come
Because I still believe
No matter how long it takes
How...
Waiting for it to come
Still waiting for it to come
Waiting for it to come
Singing until the whale comes
Whale!
TOMOARI'S TROUPE
INU-OH
Now the time is drawing near
For the man born into a life of curses to shine like the star he is
A dance before the shogun
A once-in-a-lifetime performance
Sing, dance, go wild
Deliver peace to every last Heike spirit
With the performance to end all performances
Come and see how it ends
INU-OH
Your body drifts
Out to sea
Past, present, and future...
Become one
Are you alive?
Or are you dead?
Like a spirit
Unable to find your way
Try to remember
Your name
Commander of the Heike
Remember who you were
Dreams and illusions
Beyond the Palace of the Dragon King
Truth and loyalty
What did they mean?
You threw yourself into the sea
Believing you would find
The Palace of the Dragon King
If you seek peace
With faith unwavering
You'll find your way
There's only one path to the dream
This is the way of the Heike
Forgotten memories of the fallen clan
Saved by a monster and a blind priest
- It's time - To dream
Dare to seek
- A dream - So bold
- It makes you laugh - Out loud
Where are the voices? Why can't I hear them?
- Answer! - Answer us!
What is it?
Something's keeping you here
Break through! Break through!
The time has come to reveal the truth!
Dive deep and find it!
What's going on in the capital tonight?
Wicked thoughts, murder plots, dreamed up wars
Severed heads, empty beds, cruel and hungry lords
Much ado about nothing
[20 years ago]
Even memories
Float among dreams
This is where the Heike are found
In a tale of dreams
We gather here to sing
The Dragon and Beast Sutra
Our song all we have
To reach the palace under the sea
Is it there?
Is it there? Is it there? Is it there?
The palace is there
The Palace of the Dragon King
It's there, it's there, the palace is there
No longer lost
After waiting so long
To be found by the seekers
Delivered by song
We've finally reached the Palace of the Dragon King
Our hearts
Here together as one
"The Inu-oh Chapters" were banned
by the same shogun who wanted the Imperial Regalia...
The despicable Ashikaga who stole
my father's life and my mother's dreams.
Not once, but twice...
He robbed me of my light.
May the gods punish the Ashikaga!
Punish him!
Listen, everybody. Listen.
Listen to my voice.
Let it never be forgotten.
My name...
No matter what happens to me my true name is...
And shall always be...
INU-OH WENT ON TO BECOME THE GREATEST PERFORMER OF HIS TIME
YET HIS NAME HAS SINCE BEEN FORGOTTEN
AND ALL OF HIS SONGS ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN LOST.
AS FOR YOUNG FUJIWAKA, HE WOULD LATER CHANGE HIS NAME TO ZEAMI
AND HIS MANY SONGS AND TREATISES HAVE SHAPED NOH AS IT IS KNOWN TODAY.
