People! Is Princess Kimi's lunch ready?
Yes, Ma'am.
Then you should have told me.
Oh. The chef, Horigome Kazuma, is not here.
I can't taste the food before serving if he's not here.
Where is he?
Quickly. Go find him.
What's going on? He should be here.
Horigome Kazuma at your service, Ma'am.
Oh, Mr. Horigome.
Where were you? The princess is hungry.
The snapper for dinner was just delivered.
So I was checking the fish.
Sir Horigome, that's backwards.
You should pay attention to lunch first, then dinner.
I don't mean to talk back to you.
But fish must be inspected immediately.
I have to check that they are fresh.
No excuses please.
It's a fact that the princess is waiting.
Really?
It's true.
I will now proceed with the taste.
Here I go. The first dish.
This soup is so-so.
Needs salt but it will pass.
Miso sauce and pesto with vegetables.
Smells good, but you served this yesterday.
You shouldn't serve it two days in a row just.
Is that right?
Absolutely.
Menus should be changing and innovative.
But this is nutritious so it's a pass.
Next.
Oh, potatoes!
What's wrong?
Can I have seconds?
Seconds? You are supposed to be testing for poison.
Brilliant, Princess.
Your playing today is better than ever.
Now, here's lunch that you have been waiting for.
Not another meal?
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
This smells great.
Start with the fish, Princess.
It's grilled just right and seasoned perfectly.
Chef Horigome cooked this personally.
It's delicious... Kazuma is the best...
Toshi?
Yes?
At each meal you talk of this Kazuma.
You must like this Kazuma very much.
Oh, Princess...
Of course that wouldn't be the case.
It's just that my duties force me to see him.
I see him three times a day, so that's why I...
I feel that I'm kind of close to him.
You don't have to hide it from me.
I'm not... but I'm a commoner so I hate samurai.
Or rather, they are not my type.
But I hear Kazuma is more skilled...
...with his chef's knife than his sword.
That really makes me kind of...
So you really like him, don't you?
Perhaps I do.
Oh Princess. You had to make me say it, didn't you?
You and I are the same age.
You are like a sister to me.
So you can tell me everything.
Thank you.
But we haven't progressed very far.
That Kazuma doesn't even know how I feel.
It's so frustrating.
Listening to you is more frustrating, Toshi.
I'm sorry, Princess. Please eat the fish.
I don't want to eat any more.
Don't say that.
You are leaving for Edo to marry soon.
You must eat and build up your strength now.
Stop Toshi.
When I hear of this marriage...
I lose my appetite and can't eat a thing.
You can take this all away.
It's a waste to throw away such good cooking.
Then you eat it like you always do.
Are you sure? Well, if you insist.
You always know what I'm thinking, Princess.
Just tasting food is not enough for me.
Are you sure you won't have any?
I will start with the potatoes.
Good. Kazuma is a first rate chef.
Toshi, I envy you.
Why is that?
My wet nurse was your mother.
She nurtured both of us,
...but you know how the townspeople live.
For as long as I can remember...
I have been living this stifling life bound by rules in the castle.
I feel I'm suffocating.
You are being willful.
I envy you much much more, Princess.
Too good.
You can't know how I feel.
There must be fun and freedom in this world...
Oh, I know. Please sing like you usually do.
The one that goes... "When we are far apart..."
or how about "Number one..."
Oh, I know. I want to hear a festival song.
A festival song?
It would be a pleasure, Princess.
Here it goes.
The drum beats, the flute sounds.
Drum and flute, flute and drum.
Here I am a cocky guy on top of the scaffold
For daring to lead the dancing from up high
Please excuse me and let me say a few words
I'm out of practice and might not be smooth
so I ask that you forgive me
And if you do, come gather round and dance with me
I don't want to brag, butlisten to me folks
I fell in love the first time I saw him
My heart's been set on him ever since
I dream of him both day and night
But when I wake, we are strangers
I don't want us to be strangers for life
So let's get this marriage all settled
All the gods come gather round and dance
Princess! Princess! What's the meaning of this?
Here comes Dobashi, ready to scold me again.
What do you want?
Councillor Kadikawa is here to see you.
You are all excused.
A message from your father in Edo just arrived.
Your wedding to Lord Matsudaira will...
...be on the fifth day of next month.
He asks that you depart the day after tomorrow.
I will accompany you on your journey.
Please make preparations for your departure.
Dobashi.
Yes.
I refuse to marry someone that I have never met.
Please don't be difficult and childish.
It's all for the clan.
No, no, I won't.
You always told me that marriage was...
...the most important thing for a woman.
Well, er, yes. That's true.
The groom, Lord Matsudaira, is related to the Shogun...
...and his clan is worth 800,000 koku.
Father...
So you want me to marry the clan?
You are treating me like an object, not a person.
Princess, how can you think that?
I brought you up from infancy.
I changed your diapers and cleaned you up, and I never left your side.
The only thing I wish for is your happiness.
Please trust me and make preparations.
Princess... I care about you just as much as him.
I am on your side and I oppose this marriage.
Quiet!
No, I won't.
If this lord is not to your liking,
...give him a shove and come right back.
How dare you speak out of turn.
Quiet, Dobashi.
Well said, Toshi.
You are my bosom friend after all.
Prepare for departure.
Princess, mind your manners.
You shouldn't lean out and peep like that.
Peeping is what I... er,
...is not suitable behavior for a princess.
I'm glad the long journey has not tired you.
Dobashi... I'm tired of this boring trip.
I want to ride boats and horses.
Please don't be difficult.
You are marrying into the rich Matsudaira clan.
This is the way a princess should travel.
Here, I have brought this cute doll for you.
Take this doll and go to bed early.
I'm not a child.
And I'm too tired to sleep.
Think of your position and don't be difficult.
Before you retire, I will go over the schedule.
Schedule? Again? I don't want to hear it.
You must.
At 5:30 AM, wake up call.
Breakfast at 6:00 AM, followed by a meeting with the Matsudaira clan.
After the meeting, change and leave at 8:00 AM.
Lunch at noon, then a nap inside the carriage.
Arrive at Shizuoka at 7:30 PM.
Bath and change, then dinner with the envoy.
Then...
Stop!
I don't want to hear this. I don't.
Princess... Are you ill?
Shall I call a doctor?
No. Leave me.
I don't want a doctor. I want to be alone.
Princess... What am I to do?
I said, leave me.
If you don't, I will kill myself.
Toshi! Toshi!
Where is Toshi?
You heard me.
Breakfast tomorrow...squid, octopus, clams, shrimp and eel.
Make that into sushi with wasabi.
What are you doing?
Is the princess eating well?
Er, well...
Well what?
She didn't touch a thing tonight.
Then what you have been saying...
...that she was happy with my cooking...
...and she praised it are all lies?
So you have been throwing all the food away?
Of course not... I have been eating it.
Fool.
If you eat it, the princess will starve.
Now I understand.
She's in a nervous state because she's hungry.
You, cooking staff, ask for more money...
...but you can't make food that the princess likes.
Sir, Toshi does all the menus.
She ignores all our suggestions.
How dare you! I know what the princess likes.
Then why won't she eat?
Er, well, that's because you are a bad chef.
Bad chef?
You have been eating and liking all my food.
You were slurping that yam soup like a horse.
That was prepared by this bad chef.
How dare you call me a horse!
Sir, order Toshi not to interfere with my staff.
How dare you insult me like this!
I have been putting in a good word for you.
Retract your statement this minute.
No, I won't.
You must.
No way.
Retract.
I won't.
Kazuma, you asked for it.
Let me go. I must do this.
Idiot!
I'm sorry.
Excuse me. Kazuma, take it back.
Stop. You shouldn't be doing this.
Stop, I said.
Please let me go. I have been insulted.
I beg you to let me go.
Stop. Look what you have done to my face.
Let me go!
Take it back.
Toshi!
Princess! Listen to me.
Princess!
That fool, that amateur chef Kazuma...
Right in front of everyone, he insulted me.
Furthermore, he had the nerve to slap me across my face.
At that moment, that very moment,
I really fell in love with him.
You are the only one I can tell, Princess.
What should I do?
How can you sleep when I am in such a crisis?
Princess! Wake up, Princess.
Princess...
"Let me do as I please until Hakone.
"I shall return.
"Princess Kimi."
She did it.
She finally did it.
Drink, drink...
Wow, you are a pretty good drinker.
How wonderful the taste of sake can be!
This kid's talking like a princess, too.
And you are the princess of which clan?
She's strange.
I'm not from any clan.
I'm Yae from the next town, right?
Yeah. Just because this is a costume parade,
you don't have to talk and act like a princess.
You don't have to try too hard.
Lots of men are going to pay attention to you tonight.
I love festivals...
Enough.
Just drink up and sing.
So I can sing whatever I want as loud as I please?
Sure, Sure. Sing and dance tonight.
Right. I will sing and dance tonight.
When we are far apart, that's when I want you
The moon should mirror my feelings
But when we meet, don't have a lot to talk about
But if we don't meet, the day is a waste of time
I don't need anything when I'm near you
Even cooking meals is a waste of time
Emergency! Emergency!
The princess is missing and Toshi is murdered.
I'm not dead.
The town is full of princesses.
Princess! I will never let you go again.
Princess, wait.
Hey, what you doing?
Sorry.
Where have you gone, Princess?
Princess!
Enough.
I can't move.
I'm very drunk.
Let me go.
I have had my eye on you since you were singing.
We will get married. That's the tradition.
You insolent fool.
Hey you! I don't care if it's tradition.
Can't you see that the girl doesn't want you?
Fool.
Miss, you can go home now.
Hey, what's the matter?
I shall not go home.
Boy, she's really drunk.
I shouldn't have got involved.
I was going to travel through the night.
My schedule will be shot.
Schedule...
Do not talk to me about schedules.
The town is full of princesses.
It's impossible to find Princess Kimi.
Keep her disappearance a secret.
If the Matsudaira clan finds out,
our Tsuruoka clan will be dishonored.
You must swear on our clan that you won't talk.
Ochiai, you will lead the search until we reach Hakone.
Or until we find her.
Where am I? Who are you?
Oh, get off your high horse.
You were asleep all night on my back.
Oh, you are the one that saved me last night.
Wake up, Honey. You must be hung over.
The festival's over.
You can stop acting now.
Here you go.
Oh, I feel the need for nourishment as well.
Approach and bring me my tray.
Okay, okay.
Bring this crazy girl some, too.
After you eat, you have to go home.
You shouldn't be wandering around like this.
Whatever do you mean?
I give up.
By order from my lord Matsudaira,
I have come as an envoy to pay his respects.
Please accept this gift. It's from the purveyor...
...to the Shogunate and is famous in Edo for its taste.
All the wives of the lords favor this pastry.
It is the cake bun from Saikokoya.
Cake bun!
Cake was first brought to our country...
...by the foreigners from Spain and Holland.
You are a scholar.
Thank you for the compliment.
I, Mimura, for the sake of my education...
...endured difficulties and hardship...
...and was hired by the Matsudaira clan.
I am in charge of their sweets.
Charge of sweets?
When you are married,
I will take care of all your pastry needs.
I will use all my powers to make you the best.
Thank you, then...
Approach.
I made this myself.
Please.
It looks delicious.
No! Er... this is very unusual.
Thank you so much for your trouble.
Smells great.
She's still following me.
You walk too quickly.
So you really can't go back?
The samurai codes are strict.
I'm a maid who stole the princess's kimono.
I'm sure they will have to kill me.
That's why I don't like samurai.
They always want to kill someone.
But she's your friend.
She will forgive you.
I don't think so.
So you want to go to your aunt's place in Edo?
That is the intent.
Oh bother.
Sure, I can take you...
But, I don't like the way you talk.
Can't you do something about it?
Interesting! I will try.
Here we are. Remember, do like I told you.
And thou?
Don't regress.
I will be waiting here for you.
Then I shall go.
Damn. There goes my schedule.
Princess Kimi, departing.
What's happening?
Bow down. Bow down.
Dobashi?
Dobashi!
I'm here.
What is it?
I want water.
I have served the clan for three generations.
Now I'm serving the maid!
This is fun.
Yes, keep going.
Hurry, hurry.
Hey!
Stop there.
I have finally caught up with you.
So, do I look alright?
That's right.
Now let's go together.
Hey, sister, what about our fare?
Huh? Fare?
Don't act ignorant.
Pay the 60 mon in full or you will be sorry.
Oh, you mean you want remuneration.
Sorry.
You may take this.
Wow, thank you so much, miss!
Boy, she doesn't know the value of money.
I guess I should keep an eye on her.
Hey, what's your name?
It's Kimi.
Oh, Kimi?
That's a good name.
And thou?
There you go again.
I'm Minokichi.
I work at the lumberyard, Sagami-ya.
Oh, you are from Sagami, too.
I may not look like it.
But I'm actually the young boss of Sagami-ya.
Young boss Minokichi, huh?
You can call me Mino.
Mino?
Yep.
Yes, you have got it.
Oh no, we have just met, but I have got to go this way.
I need to purchase some lumber.
Hope to see you again.
Wait, Mino. I will go with you.
But the road to Edo is that way.
I will go with you, Mino.
But there are no carriages on this road.
I'm tired of carriages.
I like walking.
Oh well, follow me then.
Yes, I will.
Hey, Kimi, wake up.
We are here. So wake up, okay?
Oh, that was great.
I dreamt I was walking on clouds with you.
Not a care in the world.
Hey, rooms please.
Please come in.
You must be newlyweds.
I can tell at a glance how long you have been married.
I have a great room for you.
Take, take them to the pine room.
You are funny.
Kimi, it's not funny.
I need two rooms.
I only have one vacant room.
Only one?
Can't you get me another?
We are renovating next year.
I'm talking about now, moron.
Here you are.
Only this much? Hey, hand it over.
You are not serving a princess.
This is how you fill a rice bowl. Give me that.
Here.
Thank you.
I shall eat.
You may eat, too.
What is this?
My, it's delicious.
This is the first time I have had such a delicious meal.
Hey, Kimi?
When I first met you...
Don't get angry...
I thought you were crazy.
But what should I say...
You are really a good person.
So are you.
I knew it from the start.
I'm not... not really.
You are cute.
Cute? Who... me?
You look like a child when you are embarrassed.
Oh, let me fill it for you.
Thanks.
Okay, that's enough.
I'm learning a lot from you.
It's like a dream being with you.
Oh, that cloud dream... What was it about?
It was beautiful.
Rose colored clouds everywhere.
Here in my dreams, my heart dances
Like the fire of love, everything forgotten
Oh, my love. Oh, my beloved
Together forever more
So what if a storm rages?
Our love grows stronger still
Loving you, like I have never done before
Here in my dreams, my heart dances
Like the fire of love
Oh, my love...
Oh, my beloved...
Together forever more
You are a cute princess
You are a cute maid
Sing and dance in twilight
Dance and sing in twilight
Twilight above the clouds
You are a charming princess
You are a charming maid
Sing and dance in twilight
Dance and sing in twilight
We are so much alike
Princess. Where have you gone?
If you don't come back soon, I won't last long.
I want to see Kazuma and I'm starving.
Who's there?
Sir Horigome! Kazuma.
It's me.
Toshi.
What are you doing here?
I'm so hungry I can't sleep.
Help me.
I'm sorry about what happened.
I wanted to apologize sooner,
but they made me take her place...
...so I couldn't come to see you.
I will never ever interfere with the menu.
It was my fault.
Please feed me.
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Slow down. Eat slowly.
What's wrong, Toshi?
I'm so happy, I can't eat.
You must think I am uncouth.
I guess it can't be helped.
Not at all.
I was a little rough, too...
So we are even.
Kazuma!
If they find the princess kissing in the kitchen...there will be trouble.
If you are full, please return to your bedroom.
Good night.
... a rose colored dream...
It's freezing out here.
Someone... Is anyone there?
Mino?
Mino! Mino!
Mino!
Your companion left before dawn.
Mino...
Thank you.
Hey, Kimi!
Mino!
What's wrong?
You came back.
You are back.
You idiot.
I wouldn't leave you all alone here.
While you were asleep, I finished my business.
They sold me the lumber at my price.
This trip is a success.
I'm glad.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Now I can go back to Edo with my head held high.
Hey, why don't we go to Mishima and celebrate?
Yes, let's go.
I welcome you Madame Envoy.
Thank you, Princess. From the first Lord Matsudaira,
our clan is known for culture and martial arts.
Since you will become one of our clan,
my lord has given me special orders.
I am to instruct you in the ways of our clan.
Instruct as you so please.
First, I would like to know your skills...
so please demonstrate them for me.
What? Skills... culture?
First, your skills with the long handled sword.
What?
You win. I had heard you were a master.
Will this suffice?
From morning to night...
The castle fills with my song.
Flower petals fall to my melody
The koto also plays my melody
I don'tlike to boast...
Butl can do the tea ceremony
Either style is the same to me
Long kimonos don't bother me
I can dance the Twist
Everybody, dance with me, the Twist
When we get tired of the twist
There's the Charleston, that's the dance for me
Kick up your legs, one, two, three
If that won't do, there's more, there's more
The very sensual dance
Let's keep dancing, more, more
The Kimono Tango
Wonderful voice and tempo.
So young but you have an understanding of the common people.
I am beyond words.
Oh, this is nothing.
Then next, we will go on to waka and haiku.
What? There's more?
Hey, get out of the way. Watch out.
Hey, Kimi!
I shall not lose.
Keep drinking.
I want more, please.
Sure. Drink up.
Oh, this is great.
Drink.
So much fun!
I never knew life could be so much fun.
Hey, Kimi. Are you okay?
Number one...
One, Nagasaki town
A ship from Holland came into port
Two, on board was a foreigner
Three, a local girl fell in love with him
Four, she wanted to be his bride
Five, she will wait forever
The enemy captain is shooting blanks
Must shoot straight to hit something
Six, to Spain
Six, the sad bells are ringing
They have to part, East and West
Seven, the tears are going out to sea
Eight, I won'tlet the ship sail
Nine, I miss the foreign ship
Ten, the light is so far out to sea
The enemy captain is shooting blanks
Must shoot straight to hit something
Let me go! Let me go!
You asked for it.
Oh, Kimi!
Mino!
Are you okay?
It's fine. Ask me anything.
A woman's worth is really her heart other than talent.
The important thing is true love.
Love...
True love...
That is the real reason why I am here.
I hear that many of the lords' wives...
marry out of formality, not love.
Princess, let me know your feelings towards...
Lord Matsudaira, your future husband.
What? My feelings?
Um well, I er... I...
It's just a matter of time before they know she's an impostor.
If they find out before the princess returns...
What shall we do?
Our clan will be abolished and we'd have to commit hara-kiri.
Ouch... that's bad.
Reporting!
So they know?
An urgent messenger from Lord Matsudaira.
He went straight to the princess's sitting room.
What? Another one?
I can't stand.
Who are you?
Kuroda and five others.
We oppose this marriage of our lord to a puny clan like yours.
We are here to take matters into our own hands.
Have you gone mad?
Silence.
I will kill both of you. Be prepared.
Help!
No, you can't go.
Toshi will be killed.
If she dies in the princess's place, this marriage will not take place.
What are you saying?
Our clan will be safe, our princess will be safe.
We will be safe, too.
Councillor!
Get out of my way.
Princess!
Quickly, Princess.
Kazuma! Kazuma!
Sir Dobashi!
I still can't stand.
Sir Dobashi!
What's going on?
I'm glad you are safe Princess.
Please take shelter.
Councillor. As of now, I quit being a samurai.
What?
I am disgusted with this heartless world.
Have you gone mad?
You are the crazy ones. Farewell.
Wait Kazuma. Where are you going?
I will go to Edo and become a commoner.
I prefer the knife to the sword.
Princess, look after yourself.
Kazuma!
Princess...
Let me go.
Princess!
I am not a princess.
I'm her maid, Toshi.
Kazuma!
Kimi.
I need to talk to you.
Yes?
I'm in love with you.
Mino!
Kimi!
Kimi, I'm an ordinary guy,
but I have inherited my dad's business and worked hard.
I have been waiting for a woman like you.
Kimi, please be my wife.
Your wife?
Yes.
Tomorrow after Hakone, we will be in Edo.
Let me get permission from your aunt in Edo.
Then we can get married, Kimi!
Kimi?
What's the matter?
Don't you want to?
Mino.
I... I love you, too.
But I can't marry you.
Kimi?
Why not?
Tell me why.
I can't marry you.
Kimi.
Tell me why. Please... why can't you?
I... I...
A princess?
Princess.
That's crazy.
Please forgive me.
I must return to my clan tonight.
A dream.
This was all a dream.
Princess. We are here to take you back.
Princess, please hurry.
Mino.
I will never forget you.
How dare you send assassins!
We didn't.
Hot blooded youths acted on their own.
There's always one or two in any clan.
But... how dare you present a false princess.
No, the fault is yours.
No, you must take responsibility.
It is your clan's fault.
No, you are responsible.
Princess Kimi has returned!
Princess.
My subjects, I regret to have worried you.
Please forgive my behavior.
Having seen you safe and sound...
...all your subjects are just overjoyed.
Toshi? Where's Toshi?
What's happened to her?
Princess.
Toshi.
Why are you dressed like that?
Please, I want to leave your service.
Leave?
Why?
My love, Kazuma, is no longer a samurai.
I will follow him.
I choose the path to a woman's happiness.
Princess, good bye.
Wait, Toshi.
It's okay, Dobashi. Let her go.
A woman's happiness...
Kazuma!
Get out of my way!
Kazuma! Kazuma...
Kazuma...
Kazuma.
Kazuma. Wait for me.
Toshi.
Princess Kimi is ready and will be here shortly.
Princess, the leaves of that tree are falling.
Toshi!
Princess!
Come closer.
Come closer, Toshi.
Yes.
Princess.
Congratulations. I'm here to say farewell.
Thank you.
I was worried about you.
Are you happy?
Very.
My man is very kind to me.
We have a fish shop near the Fukugawa lumberyard.
Fukugawa lumberyard?
Yes, he's good with a knife so he does the cooking.
I do the shopping.
We are a famous love bird couple around there.
I'm glad.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I almost forgot to give you the message.
Message?
Kimi. Be happy forever on your rose colored cloud.
Be happy.
Princess.
Kimi. Be happy forever on your rose colored cloud.
Be happy, Kimi.
Kimi... Kimi... Kimi...
Stop the carriage!
Stop the carriage.
What are you doing? Stop her.
Wait. Silence.
The princess has lost her mind.
Be happy, Princess.
Don't just stand there. Go after her.
Quickly.
Wait, Mrs. Iwasaki.
The princess has no love for her groom.
She has no true feelings for him. Understand?
Mino.
Mino!
Mino...
Mino
Kimi?
Kimi!
Mino!
Good morning.
Hey!
Watch out.
Out of my way, out of my way.
Honey? Honey, I'm home.
Hey, hey. What are you doing?
Shut up. It's your fault for walking so close.
This is a public road.
Hey, you!
What?
Why don't you walk with your eyes open?
If I open them wider, my face will be all eyes.
Your man bought you cheap clothes if it's shrinking.
These are my best clothes that my man bought me.
What are you going to do?
What?
Say what?
Honey!
"Honey..." ha, ha.
What are you doing to my wife, woman?
Woman?
Shut up.
Darling! Darling!
