This is the final chapter of Nihongo-ka,

Chapter 4: Hāmonīritānzu (Harmony Returns)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

With the end of Gōzā no Masutā the people of Kūki rejoice at their new found freedom and celebrate the feats of the Wandarāzu.

 

Our hero chooses to leave Kūki in search of adventures in the other regions of Nihon with his trusted companion Shiroi ōkami by his side.

 

Both Hikaru Sulu & Nikku Yemana have been asked to remain in Kūki and jointly rule its lands and people. They promise to come to the aid of Rokudenashi, anytime, or anywhere.

 

Rokudenashi makes a final visit is to the Shrine of the Kitsune (Fox), asking for wisdom to help him safely navigate his future adventures.

 

As he departs a Uta (song) fills his head.

 

“I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.”

“Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.”

Nihongo-ka

(Turning Japanese)

 

I've got your picture of me and you

You wrote, "I love you," I wrote "Me, too"

I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do

Oh, it's in color, your hair is brown

Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds

I often kiss you when there's no one else around

 

I've got your picture, I've got your picture

I'd like a million of them all round my cell

I want the doctor to take your picture

So I can look at you from inside as well

You've got me turning up and turning down

And turning in and turning 'round

 

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

I've got your picture, I've got your picture

I'd like a million of them all round my cell

I want a doctor to take your picture

So I can look at you from inside as well

You got me turning up and turning down

I'm turning in, I'm turning round

 

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

I've got your picture, I've got your picture

I'd like a million of them all round myself

I want a doctor to take a picture

So I can look at you from inside as well

You got me turning up and turning down

I'm turning in, I'm turning round

 

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you,

no wonder it's dark

Everyone around me is a total stranger

Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger

Everyone

 

That's why I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

 

Think so, think so, think so

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so
