Furyūsenzai: SORE E GOKIGEN YŌ IDERARETARU WA, IKANARU HITO NITE GOZASŌRŌZO	Furyūsenzai: What sort of beings are you who have come here in such high spirits?

As this is a day of great celebration for Kyoto City University of Arts we have come here to offer our congratulations with music and dance for the many people who have gathered here. Wanting to observe and celebrate this event with everyone, together, we, the Spirit of the Pine and the Spirit of Bamboo,
Spirits of the Pine and Bamboo: KOREMADE IDETE SŌRŌ	Spirits of the Pine and Bamboo: have come here！
Furyūsenzai: SORE WA ICHIDAN TO MEDETAKU SŌRŌ, MAZU KŌKŌ ON-TŌRI SŌRAE	Furyūsenzai: All the more auspicious! First of all, come this way.
Spirits of the Pine and Bamboo: KOKOROETE SŌRŌ.	Spirits of the Pine and Bamboo: Certainly, we will.
Furyūsenzai: SA ARABA MAZU MATSU NO MEDETAKI IWARE KATTATE ON-KIKASE SŌRAE.	Furyūsenzai: As that is the case, first of all, tell me the origin of why the pine is said to be such a blessing.
Spirit of the Pine: SA ARABA YAGATE KATATTE KIKASE MŌSŌZURU NITE SŌRŌ, SŌJITE MATSU NO MEDETAI TO MŌSU SHISAI WA, ISSUN NOBUREBA IRO TOKOSHINAE NI SHITE, JŌ SENNEN MANNEN NO YOWAI WO TAMOCHI, NANBŌ MEDETAKI MONO NITE SŌRŌ.	Spirit of the Pine: I will tell you why shortly. Generally speaking, the reason the Pine is said to be auspicious is that when it grows a little bit, it takes on color and continues on for a thousand years, ten thousand years. This is certainly a significantly joyous and propitious thing!
Furyūsenzai: ICHIDAN TO MEDETŌ SŌRŌ MATA, TAKE NO MEDETAKI SHISAI, ON-MONOGATARI-SŌRAE.	Furyūsenzai: Even more auspicious. Then again, tell me the story of the significance of the bamboo.

Spirit of Bamboo: Certainly I will do that. In general, the reason the Bamboo is said to be auspicious is that, when it comes to both Sentient and Insentient beings, there are said to be few that surpass their parents. But the Bamboo always outgrows its parents. It’s longevity is a wonderfully auspicious thing!
Furyūsenzai: IZURE MO MEDETAKI ON-MONOGATARI NITE SŌRŌ, SA ARABA KONO UE WA MATSU TAKE TOMO NI AI-MAI WO NASARE-SŌRAE	Furyūsenzai: These are heartening stories. This being the case, I would like you, in addition now, Pine and Bamboo, to dance together for us.

Furyū Performs: Noriji 2
Spirit of the Pine: CHITOSE NO MATSU NO EN NI HIKARE.	Spirit of the Pine: Drawn by a connection to the thousand year Pine
Jiutai: CHITOSE NO MATSU NO EN NI HIKARETE, YOROZUYO TAKE MO, NE NOBI NO MATSU MO, MIDORI NO TAMOTO WO, KAZASHI KAZASHITE, MAI-ASOBEBA, YOROKOBI WA HIBI NI, NAO MASARIYUKU MIYO NAKEBA SENZAI-MANZAI SUE KAKETE, SENZAI-MANZAI SUE KAKETE, OSAMARU MIYO TOZO, NARINIKERU.	Jiutai: Drawn by a connection to the thousand year Pine, Bamboo, too, along with the Pine with its spreading roots, raise their sleeves aloft, hold them high, as they dance. Joyous days repeat, renewed day after day, as the reign continues. A reign of peace that will be for a thousand years, ten thousand years, for all posterity!
