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...
I thought I could convince him
to let you use that song.
كنت أفكر أنّ ربما بإمكاني
.إقناعه للسماح لك بأن تغني تلك الأغنية
Hab mir gedacht, dass ich ihn vielleicht überreden
könnte, Sie das Lied singen zu lassen.
Pensé que podría convencerlo 
de dejarte usar la canción.
Pensé que podría convencerlo
de dejarte usar la canción.
Je pourrais peut-être le persuader
de vous laisser utiliser sa chanson.
Pensavo quasi di farle da mediatore per ottenere 
da quel tipo il permesso di utilizzo della canzone...
Eu acho que consigo convencê-lo
a deixar que use a música.
Я вот подумал: вдруг смогу 
убедить его позволить её петь?
