It's not Kurosawa's fault, of course, but...


..."Princess Yuki of Akizuki" definitely sounds like a bad 1920s novelty song.

Hahahahaha, I feel bad about laughing though.

True, that's one terrible rhyme...
Try "Akizuki Yuki-hime".

Exactly. That's why it's not Kurosawa's fault.

I was actually thinking of something similar to "Nagasaki," a song which seems to have gone out of style around 1945. Can't think why.

Back in Nagasaki
Where the fellas chew tobacky
And the women wicky-wacky-woo!

You just know that "Princess Yuki from Akizuki" would have to include rhymes like "kooky" and "spooky." It makes one shudder merely to consider it.

lmao, yes u'r right. I didn't think of it when I saw it, good point :)

"Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like... your opinion, man."

Well that's certainly an amusing little witicism.
