Kanji=
 * 出逢いは 嗚呼 始まり


 * 三成: しかと見込んだ
 * 腕の立つ奴
 * 俺に仕えぬか？


 * 左近: 子守がごとく
 * 役目は
 * 性に合いません


 * 三成: いやいや
 * 誤解するな
 * 力が欲しい


 * 左近: いやはや
 * 何度来ても無理
 * されども
 * 一同:縁は異なもの


 * なぜか すれ違うようで
 * なぜか ウマが合うようで
 * 三成: こんな縁(えにし)こそ 探していたぞ ずっと 一同: 嗚呼
 * 共に 戦国の世で
 * 共に 巡り会う世で
 * 一期一会
 * 是も 運命(さだめ)だろう


 * 出逢いは 嗚呼 不思議よ


 * 三成: 弐万石では？
 * 俺と同じだ
 * 不足はあるまい


 * 左近: 人の心は
 * 買えません
 * お帰り下さい


 * 三成: いやいや
 * 求むるのは
 * 侍魂


 * 左近: いやはや
 * 其れを云われちゃあね
 * 一緒に
 * 一同: さあ 往(ゆ)きますか


 * なぜか 似てないようで
 * なぜか 響き合うようで
 * 左近: 不意に言葉より 通じ合う此の心 一同: よし！
 * されば 腹括るべき
 * されば 分かち合う時
 * 一期一会
 * 是が 往くべき道


 * なぜか 決まっていたような
 * なぜか 知っていたような
 * こんな縁(えにし)こそ 斬っても切れぬものぞ さあ
 * 共に 約束の世に
 * 共に 目指すべき世に
 * 以心伝心

 * Encounters, ah, are the beginning of everything


 * Mitsunari: Finally, someone trustworthy
 * and competent
 * Won't you serve me?


 * Sakon: It's not my style
 * to agree to
 * babysitting


 * Mitsunari: No, no
 * Don't misunderstand me
 * I want your power


 * Sakon: Get real
 * The answer's the same, no matter how many times you ask
 * Be that as it may,
 * Together: it's strange how we were brought together


 * Somehow, when we passed one another by
 * Somehow, we hit it off right away
 * Mitsunari: I've always been searching for a connection like this; Together: Ah,
 * We're together in this world of war
 * We're together in this world of chance greetings
 * It's a once in a lifetime encounter
 * Maybe this is destiny at play


 * Encounters, ah, are mysterious things


 * Mitsunari: How about two thousand koku?
 * Same wage as my own
 * Surely that would be sufficient


 * Sakon: You can't buy
 * people's hearts
 * Please take your leave


 * Mitsunari: No, it's not like that
 * What I desire
 * is your proud and noble spirit


 * Sakon: Well, I'll be
 * You should've said that before
 * I'm with you
 * Together: Now, should get going?


 * Somehow, we're not alike at all
 * Somehow, we're in tune with one another
 * Sakon: Strangely, your heart connects with mine more than words ever could; Together: Okay!
 * In that case, let's get ourselves prepared
 * Then, when the time comes for us to share the glory
 * It'll be a once in a lifetime meeting
 * This is the path we should take


 * Somehow, it's like we decided on this long ago
 * Somehow, it's like we always knew it would be this way
 * The bonds we have can't be cut by anything, so
 * We'll go to our promised world together
 * We'll aim for the same world together
 * It's like we can read each other's minds
 * Let us go, down our path
