Poor-man Isamu is a comedian with zero popularity. When he gets up on stage to do his material, it never gets any laughs, and his slump drags on. One day, on his way home, he hears a voice that seems to be calling him. He heads to the riverbank where he finds the youkai Sara-kozou happily singing and washing plates. He watches, unnoticed, and decides to make what he sees into a gag for his act. And so, by singing the youkai's song and dancing, Isamu starts to become popular. Sara-kozou is enraged when he realizes his song has been stolen. Kitaro goes to warn Isamu to stop singing the song, but...
All I do is sweet talk the Sara-Kozo
and it's a job well done.
كلّ ما عليّ فعله الآن هو منح
.سارا-كوزو كلامًا معسول وسينتهي عملي
Jetzt muss ich nur noch Sara-Kozō
gut zureden und der Job wär erledigt.
Solo debo hablarle bonito a Sara-Kozo
y acabaré con el trabajo.
Solo debo hablarle bien a Sara-Kozo
y acabaré con el trabajo.
Plus qu’à amadouer
le Garçon à l’assiette, et hop.
Non mi resta che abbindolare opportunamente Sara Kozō,
e il lavoro sarà completato.
Tudo que eu preciso fazer é falar com
o Sara-Kozo e o trabalho está pronto!
Осталось только уговорить Сара-кодзо — 
и дело в шляпе.
