I love TSURU-HIME

YOSHIMUNE make advances to TSURU-HIME with this words.


(from ABARENBO-SHOGUN VIII last scene)

YOSHIMUNE

I'd like to tell you, TSURU-HIME.
The story of a man called ABARENBO(A naughty boy) in KISYU(One of Japanese area).

He, SHINNOSUKE was born as The 2nd KISYU lord, IESADA TOKUGAWA's 4th son.
His mother was a poor farmer.
He played lower class officials' children, farmers' children, or fishermen's children.
He looked that he willn't be even a lord in small country.
But his brothers died in succession, He became a lord in KISYU.
And a destiny made him the 8th SHOGUN.

As YOSHIMUNE, SHINNOSUKE could do everything to his satisfaction.
And about 2 years after, he was afraid of that he was forgeting his old friends' faces.
One day, YOSHIMUNE went to a street as SHINNOSUKE.
Then, He knew.
YOSHIMUNE was a arrogance because He had watched his people from only the top of a TENSYUKAKU(Top of a castle).

TSURU-HIME, I didn't deceive you.
I wanted you to know my true personality, so that I met you as SHINNOSUKE.
And I found your true heart, it's noble heart.
Will you understand me?

TSURU-HIME

UE-SAMA!!(When people call SHOGUN with respects, use this word)

Narrator

Not a SHOGUN. Not a princess.
Only a man, only a woman.
YOSHIMUNE swear that he loves her, forever„„„.
