Who watched Sailor Moon as a young’un?
Linfamy I did, was the only time I willingly woke up early when it aired 6:30am.
That's dedication 😁. I would try to sneak out to the living room to watch early Saturday cartoons. My mom forced me to go back to sleep whenever she caught me 😡
Now that I think about it, we were accidentally given stealth training. Listening out for parental movements, avoiding the creaky spots on the floor, pretending to sleep, etc
We're...ninjas?
Damn old days

I need more Japanese folk tales
You and me both, brother
Depending on the circumstances by that I can talk... There are many folk tales, old stories and legends in Japan. However, I am weak in English.
One broadcaster was broadcasting animes of folk tales, old stories and legends, every Saturday.
The series consists of 1475 volumes in total.
You would love the Anime Inuyasha it's a feudal fairytale about a half demon who befriends humans and demons, together they go on a journey to collect fragments of a sacred jewel while fighting a common enemy.

(Manga Nippon Mukashibanashi) was broadcast from January 3, 1976 to September 24, 1994.
A program that is only spoken by two people, one actor and one actress. Like grandpa and Grandma talk.The Audience ratings were 40%
It's not an ordinary anime, it's an educational animation.

I was first exposed to this tale because of the Studio Ghibli movie. I loved the art and the way they told the story. Studio Ghibli really know how to make a touching story.
"They were shocked that a daughter born from bamboo was not normal."

@@desperationspray4403 I know. Naruto and Sasuke reminded her of her sons that's what I meant, and since she hates her sons for sealing her in the moon the first time, Sasuke and Naruto reminding her of them sealing, her in the moon for the second time, makes her probably hate them even more
Is this the same folktale from the Ghibili film Princess Kaguya??
It sure is!
Indeed it is
And kaguya frok naruto verse
It's a "work of fiction" so prominent in Japanese culture and history that Sesame Street incorporated it into their Big Bird visits Japan special - as Big Bird effectively is shown around Japan by Kaguya, herself.
Of course, Japan knows it isn't a work of fiction. They still maintain their Imperial Regalia, which come from their founder goddess, amaterasu.
This is somewhat widely known among people who have the time to stop being peasants and know things - which is, in part, why many things in the west are named after greek gods/goddesses and why many space faring factions in sci-fi are given Japanese names for their ships.
The truth isn't "out there" - it is right in front of us. But more on that in a bit... Mars is a matter of national security .... Remember that.
yes it is, but there are some slight alterations in the plot of the film: like Sutemaru, and the lady that has become Kaguya's teacher.
But it was not confirmed if such characters really do mentioned in the original folktale.
I like this story. A similar story is the princess of Mt Ophir, a Javanese princess wooed by a Malaccan Sultan. In order to gently dismiss his proposal she put forth a list of things which are near impossible to fulfill. Among the items were, 7 trays of tears of virgin girls, 7 trays of the heart of mosquitoes, a bridge of silver and gold linking the palace to her abode in Mt Ophir. The Sultan only relented when she requested for the beating heart of his eldest prince. The moral of the story is people in power will pay any price to achieve their dream as long as it doesn't hurt them personally 😅... I do wonder, how long it will take Disney to incorporate these stories into their growing list of Disney princesses.
Thanks for the story! I do like the idea of dark Disney movies :p
I watched the Ghibli adaptation yesterday and I could only wonder: would modern Disney succeed in adapting a princess story with an unhappy ending as they did with The Little Mermaid 35 years ago?
One modern interpretation of the ending of this tale that I like is found in the manga "Kaguya Wants to be Confessed to". It's just a modern high school romantic comedy and the titular character bears no similarity to the princess Kaguya in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, aside from her name, but in one of the chapters, the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter becomes a topic of discussion.
In this chapter, one of the characters talks to Kaguya (the character from the manga) about how the tale ends tragically with princess Kaguya leaving Earth and giving the elixir of immortality to the emperor. He interprets the ending as the emperor being completely oblivious to princess Kaguya's true intentions. He thinks that princess Kaguya gave the emperor the elixir of immortality as a way of telling the emperor that she will one day return, but long after a single human's lifespan. Giving the emperor the elixir of immortality was her way of telling him to wait for her, but he couldn't read between the lines and ordered it destroyed at the nearest mountain
I like this theory because it clears up something that I found strange in the original tale. Why did Kaguya not give the emperor the same impossible tasks as the others? Why did she continue to be friends and stay in contact with him after she rejected him even though he was persistent in his proposals? I think Kaguya did reciprocate the love of the emperor but knew that she couldn't marry him since she was bound to return to the moon someday. Then, just like the theory in the aforementioned manga, she gave the emperor the elixir of immortality as a way of telling him to wait for her for she will one day return. But then homeboy couldn't read the room and destroyed it. Truly, he was the first dense anime protagonist in history.
I’m really starting to think something like this went down to make Kaguya so pissed at Mikado. But I also think that Miyuki won’t let her down the second time around, like he sorta promised in the moon-viewing chapter.
Ravioli ravioli your personal headcannon is now mine.
The ED for Season 3 is Miyuki dreaming of this.
In this dream he drinks the elixir, and waits till humanity becomes space faring before launching an invasion to reclaim her.
He kept his promise in his dream.
In the anime _"The Tale of the Princess Kaguya"_ the music playing when the procession of celestial beings descends from the Moon to take Kaguya back is the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
The most beautiful music during the most saddest situation
Just watched it last night and I was amazed at the creative choices throughout, but the music of the moon people at the end was the most inspired creative choice of them all. It brought home the implied analogy that her be taken was akin to death and that although the afterlife is a painless world of perfect existence, it is nevertheless a tragic experience to leave the world and everything and everyone you love behind. I'm not even a little bit ashamed to admit that I was weeping for a hour afterwards, and it's starting again now. This movie will stick with me forever.

when Kaguya gets to the moon : TATSUKETE EIRIN
I remember reading a book of Japanese folktales when I was in middle school and this story stuck with me the longest. I would dream about her and wondered how beautiful she might have been and what the moon army was like. A lot of my imagination and creative writing stemmed from Kaguya.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Kaguya-Hime the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Japanese would tell you. It's a Moon legend.
Ok, that was a good one.
I was a fan of Touhou and I can Understand Kaguya Houraisan now since she ordered Five Impossible Request

Good point. Should have drank that elixir.

I lost it when you said: "Oh, my god! You're Sailor Moon!". There's a Sailor Moon short story called "The Tale of Princess Kaguya" and one of the story's characters is named Nayotake Himeko, using the Japanese naming custom.
So that’s why it’s called Reach For The Moon ~ Immortal Smoke?
IT'S A COMMA
Kaguya Hime from Touhou Project.
her last name's Houraisan???
"Hime" is the Japanese for Princess. Houraisan Kaguya-Hime would be her full title.

I was just watching inuyasha movie 2 last night and it's about kaguya lol
Maybe I made this video because I knew you just watched that 🙄😲

Lol I'm rewatching that movie right now.
I was just thinking about Touhou the whole entire time.
Same tbh
Same here
Also don’t forget Miss Kaguya: Love Is War
"Yeah, you wished your parents named you with a title."
Well, most common names in the West have some pretty cool meanings, but since many of them originate from an ancient language that isn't spoken anymore, these meanings tend to be sadly obscure.
Did you mention in another video that your given name was Rob or Bob? Either way, that's a diminutive of Robert, an old Anglo-Saxon name with Teuton roots, believed by most historians and linguists to originate from the Proto-Germanic Hrōþiberhtaz, which meant something like 'fame-bright' or'glory-bright'. Not sure what that name is supposed to tell about its carrier.
Other such names include Magnus (from Latin magnus, 'great', mostly popular in Scandinavia, likely originating from the medieval Norse mistaking the epithet of the Frankish king Carolus Magnus (i.e. Charlemagne) for his second name), Alexander (from Greek aléxandros, 'defender of men'), and Michael (from Hebrew mī kāʼēl, 'who is like god').
Nope, my given name is Linh, which means smart in Vietnamese 😉
Those of us with Latin names just get lucky 😂
Germanic naming customs wouldn’t have required the combination of name elements to have a coherent meaning (when considered together).
Hrothgar and Ulfbert have the same first and second element respectively.
Fame-spear and Wolf-bright.
@@polyhistorphilomath Ah yes, Hrothgar. In modern English, that name exists as Roger.
Oooh! My irl given name means "hope" in Yoruba (according to my mother, anyways) and all six of my middle names mean "cherished" in some way or form in the same language!

Well... Mokou hates any "kaguya" related video doesn't she?
No wonder Nasa-kun was so worried.
That is the comment I was finding 🥺
In other words
It's a power struggle between the wealthy. The five people who proposed to the moon princess Kaguya have their own models.
・Prince Ishitukuri is said to be the “tajihishima“ of Minister of the Left. (Emperor Senka's of fourth grandchild.)
・Prince Kuramochi is said “Fujiwara‐no Fuhito“. his mother was Kuramochi clan. He may have been an illegitimate child of the emperor.
・“Minister of the right, Abe-no‐Mimuraji“ is said “Abe-no‐Miushi“. Abe-no‐Miushi is the ancestor of “Abе no seimei“. “Abe‐no seimei“ was a legendary yin-yang teacher.
・"Major Counselor, Otomo‐no Miyuki" is said himself. Ancestor of “Otomo no yakamochi“.
・"State councilor, Ishi-no-Kami Marotari" is said "Ishi-no-Kami Maro“. "Ishi-no-Kami Maro“ later changed his name to "Mononobe‐no Ason“.
This is a social satire even if it is said that it is a long time ago now.
thanks for the info!

Manga Spoiler Alert!
They are related
I've always loved this story and Urashima Tarō. Both make me smile a sad smile. Hey, are you going to do Urashima Tarō?
perhaps...
Linfamy if you have Kaguya, The Nine tailed fox and Jiraya. Then you might do Urashima that Urashiki Otsutsuki from Boruto is based off.
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is one of my favorite fairytales. There are multiple recountings of it with small variations. One version says she was sent to earth for committing a crime, another says it was to keep her safe from a celestial war. There's a version that has the emperor's men being paralyzed by the mere presence of the moon people, another says they shot but the arrows bounced off harmlessly. One says the emperor burned the elixir of life out of grief, another out of fear. There are ones that go into more detail about the 5 suitors and their journeys. I've tried to find as many versions of it as I can. I'm not even sure why I like it so much, but I do.

" OH MY GOD YOU'RE SAILOR MOON!!!"
" Shut up honey..."
In Mexico, we have a similar history talking about the mountain , that is, it's about princess Iztlacihuatl and the warrior Popocatepetl, to let them get married the king gave them one condition, Popocatepetl must figth in a war, he won because duh, but a jealous suitor left the Battlefield and told everyone that Popocatepetl had dies, the princess was devastated, she refused to eat and died of a broken heart, so when Popocatepetl came back the dad was like: What the heck? Weren't you dead? Realizing they had been fooled they punished the suitor, but no punish could be enough for Popocatepetl to cure his broken heart, he took her to a land with a torch as his only companion and watched her dead body wishing she was just in a deep slumber, the gods felt pity for the young couple who were separeted before they should have, so over-nigth they turned them into a mountain and a Volcano, Iztlacihuatl lays there, you can see her silloutte, and Popocatepetl watches over her, and the torch he took is still on to this day.
When he mentioned the robe of the fire rat my mind screamed: "INUYASHA!"
Same here!
People theorized that the 5 impossible tasks were impossible not because the items were extremely hard to retrieve but that Kaguya-hime already have the 5 treasures that she tasks the suitors to retrieve hence an impossible task.
That would explain how she was able to instantly recognize everything as being fake.
So this is the inspiration for characters of Kaguya-Sama Love is War. They even mention the tale itself in the story. I know there is an arc of Impossible Task of obtaining the Swallows Cowrly an I think there was something about the Buddha's Bowl. It's really cool to see the original tale. Thank you for the vid!
Eirin, Eirin, Tasukete Eirin
EIRIN! EIRIN! EIRIN! EIRIN!
Do you think (in Touhou lore) she was the one putting the gold in the Bamboo?
This was made into a movie called “The Princess Kaguya” I have watched it and I advise it to anyone who wants to learn about this specific tale.
“OMG your sailor moon!”
“Shut Up honey”
Anime is the best how dare you
・True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
・Man discovers himself when he becomes to the obstacle.
・It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.
From The Little Prince that Saint-exupéry wrote.
By the story of the Moon Princess Kaguya from my mother, I knew those things since baby.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Ah, Little Prince. A book not much thicker than a school notebook that primary school first-graders write in, yet a book containing so many wonders that the human mind cannot comprehend it, despite the fact that the book itself was written by a human.
The Ōkami depiction of princess Kaguya is especially funny because she’s in like bamboo astronaut gear and uses a rocket ship to return to the moon
Cuts bamboo, finds baby
Cuts peach, finds baby
Cuts melon, finds baby
I'm scared to cut things, I'm not ready to be a mom.
In Vietnam, you don't need cut anything because it's in your womb, such as Coconut
Those tasks that Kaguya gave the five nobleman are actually simple if you think out of the box.
Buddah's bowl = a bowl that looks old & ordinary with a gold like shine in it (like the Holy Grail).
Jeweled branches = Sakura/Cherry blossom branches (the "mysterious" island's greatest treasure is are the cherry blossoms).
Robe of a fire rat = A red fireproof robe with the Chinese emblem of The Rat from the Zodiac with the fire element.
Jewel from a dragon = a jasper stone (the another names for jasper is "bloodstone" and "dragon bloodstone" ).
Swallow cowrie shells = Cowrie shells that have colors like a swallow.
Powerful Men Fighting over Woman is a Tale as Old as Ancient Writing.
for example: any Mythology.
What use is power if you can't get women, asks mythology.
Momoshiki : Hey Kaguya! I came to punish you.
Kaguya: Celestial Moon Beings!!
And then Kaguya Hime learned about Danmaku
everyone : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Should've named it as "Justin Y." LOL
No mention to Kaguya Houraisan and the Inaba Rabbits in the comments!?
Mokou burned all of the Kaguya Houraisan comments.
Ayy, nice to see fellow Touhou fans around here
when i saw this video i knew there were gonna be some touhou fans here im proud
This reminds me of the tale of the princess kaguya which I'm guessing is based off this folktale
Yep, this is kaguya hime :)
I think Kaguya's story was considered so interesting, she is the reference in several Mangas, Animes, and even video games. I own a Manga series called Sakura-Hime that takes place in an alternative timeline in which Kagura's granddaughter must literally turn into a superhero samurai to slay feral moon spirits that would feed on humans. They also claim that moon demons feed on humans and that the lineage of the moon princess would always cause the death of the rightful heir to the throne, so each princess is betrothed to said the heir to sustain the balance between the moon and earth. Also, Sailor Moon took slight inspiration from Greek Mythology in the naming of the love interest (whom I can't name on top of my head) and there's a Studio Gibibi movie adaptation of the legend which I really like. You should see it
You guys need to watch 「The Tale of the Princess Kaguya」 from Studio Ghibli!!
I've heard good things about that
Linfamy It’s definitely worth the watch! The storyline is good, and the art is superb!
👍
@Amazing Spiderman Fan 2002 I can't exactly say if it's a happy ending or not, but for Kaguya I'm pretty sure it's a happy ending
I’m a massive anime fan when you were naming off all the things needed for those tasks literally what came to my mind was a movie from one of my absolute favourite animes called inuyasha
Rapunzel could also pass as Sailor Moon, watch Sailor Moon's hair change lengths with every new form. But I love your addition "Oh my god, you're Sailor Moon!" the father said, "Shut up dear," the mother said. lol.

“Hey, arent these tasks a bit um.... impossible?”
“Yeah.”
Idk about yall japanese but us Chinese have a moon princess too
Here’s the story
The story of Chang E is the most widely accepted tale regarding the moon and the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is said that in ancient times, ten suns existed and the extreme heat made people's lives very difficult. It was the hero Hou Yi, who, owing to his great strength, shot down nine of the ten suns. On hearing of this amazing feat and the hero who performed it, people came from far and wide to learn from him. Peng Meng was among these people. Later, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind-hearted woman named Chang E and lived a happy life.
One day, Hou Yi came upon Wangmu (the queen of heaven) on the way to meet his old friend. Wangmu presented him an elixir which, if took, would cause him to ascend immediately to heaven and become a god/goddess. Instead of drinking the potion himself, Hou Yi took it home and presented it to Chang E to keep. Unfortunately, Peng Meng secretly saw Hou Yi give the potion to his wife and three days later, while Hou Yi was out hunting, Peng Meng rushed into the backyard and demanded that Chang E hand over the elixir. Knowing that she could not win, she took out the elixir and swallowed it immediately. The moment she drank it, she flew out of the window and up into the sky. Chang E's great love for her husband drew her towards the Moon, which is the nearest place to the earth on the heaven.
On realizing what happened to his wife, Hou Yi was so grieved that he shouted Chang E’s name to the sky. He was amazed to see a figure which looked just like his wife appeared in the Moon. He took the food liked by Chang E to an altar and offered it as a sacrifice for her. After hearing that Chang E became a goddess, folk people also offered sacrifices to Chang E to pray for peace and good luck. Since then, the custom of sacrificing to the moon has been spread among the folklore.

Mokou's father was one of the princes, but he faked the completion of his request and his proposal was denied. Mokou herself was an unwanted child of his and stole the elixir of life (or, as Touhou calls it, the Hourai Elixir) when the emperor's guards, led by Iwakasa, were carrying it to a spot where they wanted to hide it.

Well, Kaguya *_IS_* a Lunarian and she does apparently like jewels, so...
the first lunarian that appeared in houseki no kuni anime kinda looked like kaguya hime
Some people believe that the story of Kaguyahime is about aliens because Kaguyahime grows up very fast and returns to the moon.
Hey Linfamy, I discovered your videos recently, and they have supplemented my readings about ancient Japan really well. You have a great sense of humour and the historical tidbits are always interesting. You deserve way more views and subs, keep up the good work my man :)
Hey, glad you found the channel and thanks for the kind words!
(omg Frank Sinatra is watching my videos!)
Dad:Oh my god your sailor moon!
Mom:Shut up honey
Me: ;-;
😅
So Chang'e didn't really lived alone with a rabbit after all
Can we talk about the ending? I understand that folk tales often have different interpretations but I’m very interested in this ending because I’ve never heard it. In the version my grandma would read to me growing up, Kaguya Hime was sent down to earth to punish mankind, in the form of worldly attachment. Everyone fell in love with her and was shattered and heartbroken when she was taken away for forever. That was the moon people’s way of punishing mankind for some sin they had committed (implied to have been war). The only other version I’ve heard is that she was sent to earth for her protection from a war going on on the moon, and so the people wanted to protect their only princess.
TH-cam stopped at 0:49 for a second...

I'm going to be mobbed to death by a bunch of astrohistorians who do not know that this is a joke. Actually i have just turned the entire Milky Way against me and i got restricted from Area 51
Touhou 8 fans anywhere?
Kaguya is now a Neet
You meant *YEET*
National Entrance cum Eligibility Test?
*N E E T*
TOUHOU FAN SPOTTED.
Kaguya has been mentioned in naruto and naruto. I have often wondered what her background story was. Thank you for the breakdown. Starting to see a correlation with inuyasha movie. Makes sense now
Glad you like :)
There is a movie called "The tale of Princess Kaguya". Its on Netflix. Let me tell you, the amount I sobbed-
And now I see your video on it, I cant help but watch!
3:41 candidate 5 died, suppressed laugh
😅
"she grew up smoking hot, giving a 2 degree burn"
*what ?*
kaguya from touhou in legend
The tale of Princess Kaguya ( Movie) , Okami HD and Sailor Moon .
I think Sailor Moon did a better interpretation of the Tale , however the movie is more accurate and detailed to the real Tale written in the 900
(BTW , last March 15th was the birthday of Naoko Takeuchi. The woman who whote the whole manga series)
idk though, naruto did tell that story also! i kind suspect that the otuski clan had more members who were more powerful than kaguya herself, which i keep telling my friends that kaguya did say her family was suppose to be on earth but no one came and that momoshiki and his cousin were tip of the ice berg for boruto
@@maymay5600 I don't like Naruto and never seen it, so I can't comment on that anime for normies stereotype
@@Sosuke0727
Naruto is for normies but at least it has the most powerful version of Kaguya
@dat one ghost Kaguya Houraisan is just post pseudo story of the OG one (where Kaguya was exiled to Earth because she had been impured by drinking the Hourai Elixir which makes her an Hourai immortal, and after returning to the moon she just came back to the Earth, again, because of nostalgia I believed).
Also I holy hate how the fandom portrays her as a NEET damsel when in the game she is sometimes harder than Eirin, especially on Lunatic and her last spells
Came back to this after watching the latest episode of Tonikawa.
Wait what happened in the latest episode?
