* Footnote: I'm keeping "Ondo" because it's a style of traditional Japaese
  festival music that is like none other that I have ever listened to.  I
  thought for a while, but there really isn't any English equivalent I can
  think of.  So I decided to keep it as-is.  During the song, you should
  be able to notice a distinct *rhythm pattern* -- I tried my hardest to 
  keep the "ondo" feel in this translation ^^;  ["poi" is SFX for throwing
  things away.  "tei" and "ei" are two common utterings made when
  attacking something and throwing something far away, respectively.]
