Ah! My feelings for you bloomed unknown, I thought. Just like that flower. Suddenly the realization dawned… That what I wanted to give you… And you wanted to receive… Was not some unattainable treasure, but that flower. In other words, the symbol of my devotion to you.

‘Devotion’…
Princess Kaguya! You are the one... to whom I would give my heart. Would you accept that lovely flower… and my devotion? I have always loved plants. I am entranced by the nameless flowers that grow by the roadside. And I always wish… I could live as one of those flowers of the field. Princess, come with me to some place that is not this one. Let us leave the capital and its formalities… for a rich green land of flowers, birds, and leaping fish. Somewhere not here. We will laugh, sing, and sleep to our hearts’ content. Morning to night, the seasons meeting our needs… let us spin a beautiful tale. Come with me to somewhere that is not here! A land of green where flowers bloom, birds sing, and fish dance. Somewhere that is not here!
