Group Two, “Dragon’s Tears” Music by Gabriel Luce; Lyrics by Sean Hartley
“Dragons Are Terrible Neighbors”
ALL
NEVER TRUST IN THINGS WHO FLAP THEIR WINGS WHOSE TAILS ARE COVERED WITH SCALES. BETTER RUN IN FEAR WHEN A DRAGON’S NEAR, THEY’RE FIERCE AS TIGERS AND BIGGER THAN WHALES.
DRAGONS! THEIR BRAINS ARE TINY, DRAGONS! THEIR BREATH IS BRINY. DRAGONS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS. DRAGONS, THEIR BACKS ARE SPINY! DRAGONS, THEIR TEETH ARE SHINY! PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE DRAGONS.
I HEAR THEY SNACK ON PUSSY CATS. I HEAR THEY’RE COVERED WITH FLEAS. I HEAR THEY WRECK TATAMI MATS, AND SCRAPE THE BARK FROM THE CHERRY TREES!
AND WHEN THEY FLY THEY WHIZ THROUGH THE SKY AND THEY SCORCH THE CLOUDS WITH THEIR FIREY BREATH AND WHEN THEY’RE DRUNK THEY’RE SMELLY AS A SKUNK AND THE FOLKS THEY FIND MEET A FIREY DEATH.
IS IT TRUE THEY EAT ALMOST ANY KIND OF MEAT, AND THEIR FAVORITE STEW HAS A HUMAN OR TWO? HAS A HUMAN OR TWO? OH, WHAT WILL WE DO?
WORRIED KAKO (fainting) AAAH !
ALL
DRAGONS! THEIR BRAINS ARE TINY, DRAGONS! THEIR BREATH IS BRINY. DRAGONS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS. DRAGONS, THEIR BACKS ARE SPINY! DRAGONS, THEIR TEETH ARE SHINY! PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE DRAGONS.
“Dragon Games”
RAAH! WE SOAR, WE SING, WE TAKE TO THE WING-- AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES, DRAGON GAMES, WE PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES! WE FLY, AND SING, AND LAUGH, AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES. DRAGON GAMES, WE PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES. WE RUN, AND SWIM, AND EAT, AND PLAY OUR DRAGON GAMES!
“Humans Are Terrible Neighbors”
ICHIKO WHEN A DRAGON’S IN A FOREST, SHE SEES THE WIND IN THE TREES
BOSSY JIRO WHEN A HUMAN’S IN A FOREST, SHE’LL HUNT ALL THE ANIMALS AND CHOP DOWN ALL THE BRANCHES AND MAKE SUCH A MESS THAT YOUR BLOOD COULD FREEZE!
WORRIED MAKOTO Aah! They sound terrible.
DRAGONS HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS NEEDY HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS GREEDY HUMANS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS HUMANS – YOU CAN’T DEFEAT THEM HUMANS –
HUNGRY NARIKO I’D LIKE TO EAT THEM!
DRAGONS WE’LL STAY AWAY FROM THE HUMANS WHEN A DRAGON’S IN A VALLEY SHE’LL DREAM BY A LOVELY STREAM WHEN A HUMAN’S IN A VALLEY SHE’LL DAM UP THE RIVER AND BUILD A LOT OF BUILDINGS AND MAKE SO MUCH NOISE THAT YOU WANT TO SCREAM!
FANCY MAI THEY NEVER WEAR THE LATEST TRENDS, THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF STYLE!
MOM AND POP HOW CAN THEY MAKE ANY FRIENDS, WHEN THEIR SMELL IS NOTHING SHORT OF VILE?
DRAGONS HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS NEEDY HUMANS – THEY’RE ALWAYS GREEDY HUMANS ARE TERRIBLE NEIGHBORS HUMANS – WATCH HOW YOU TREAT THEM HUMANS – YOU CAN’T DEFEAT THEM WE’LL STAY AWAY WE’LL STAY AWAY WE’LL STAY AWAY FROM THE HUMANS
“Treasure Them All”
THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF BIRDS MANY KINDS OF BEES MANY KINDS OF FLOWERS MANY KINDS OF TREES MANY KINDS OF FISH SWIMMING IN THE SEAS – TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL
THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF EYES NOSES EARS AND HAIR MANY KINDS OF INSECTS FLYING IN THE AIR MANY KINDS OF REATURES EVERYWHERE TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL
DON’T BE AFRAID OF SOMETHING NEW EVEN IF YOU DON’T WHAT TO DO SOMEONE ELSE MAY BE FRIGHTENED TOO AND IF YOU TRY YOU’LL COMPREHEND SO MANY WAYS TO FIND A FRIEND AND
MANY KINDS OF CLOUDS WAY UP IN THE SKY MANY KINDS OF TREATS THERE FOR YOU TO TRY MANY KINDS OF WONDERS PASSING BY TREASURE THEM ALL TREASURE THEM ALL HOLD THEM TO YOUR HEART AND TREASURE THEM ALL

“Seven Haikus/Hikaru is the Best”
IKARI A TREE STANDING TALL
MANIWA CAN BE SEEN FROM FAR AWAY
BOTH ITS ROOTS ARE UNSEEN
MINAMOTO WHEN YOU HOLD A COIN
JACOB THE SIDE THAT YOU CAN SEE IS
BOTH HIDING THE OTHER
MIAKA THE CATERPILLAR
KASUMI REVEALS ITS TRUE NATURE
BOTH WHEN LEAVING THE COCOON
USHI WE SEE EACH OTHER
HIKARU UNAWARE OF WHAT'S HIDDEN
BOTH SECRETS STAY CONCEALED
BOSOZOKU THERE IS MORE TO US
AKANE MORE THAN WHAT OUR EYES CAN SEE
BOTH FEELINGS KEPT AT BAY
ALL
WHAT IF WE SHOW THEM? WHAT IF OUR FEELINGS BREAK FREE? WHO DO WE BECOME?
WHAT IF OUR WISHES BECOME TOO GREAT TO CONTROL WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN?

“Anger Haiku”
SAFIA, KAGOME, MIAKA, NABIKI, USHI SHE HID HER ANGER BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE IT WAS EATING UP HER HEART
NO ONE COULD FORSEE THE MONSTER EMERGING OR HER FALLING FROM GRACE
“Chono’s Haiku”
CHONO Calm down, Hikaru. (She sings) WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR MISFORTUNES TO RULE US ALL THINGS ARE FLEETING
WHEN TIMES ARE TROUBLED WE MUST NOT BLAME OTHERS, BUT LOOK TO OUR OWN STRENGTH
“Happy Birthday!”

“The Final Showdown”
HIKARU WHAT HAVE I DONE? HOW CAN THIS BE? HOW CAN THIS MONSTER BE A PART OF ME?
Please stop! I don't want you to hurt Ushi.
YAMIKO That's not what you said a minute ago. I'm doing this for you.
HIKARU I MADE A MISTAKE PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK JUST GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK
YAMIKO You don’t want me any more? Fine. I’ll take you out.
USHI I don’t think she can attack herself. Hikaru, you’re safe!
YAMIKO Maybe that’s true, but I can still hurt you!
HIKARU No you don’t. Ushi’s my friend.
ALL She is?
USHI I am?
YAMIKO Fine. I’ll go after all of your so-called friends. They didn’t stick by you when you needed them. You’ll all pay!
ALL Aaaaaaaah!
USHI Hikaru! You have to protect them!
IKARI (enters with MANIWA) We got a report of some noise here ---
MANIWA What’s going on?
MINAMOTO It’s an evil monster made out of Hikaru’s anger and the only way to avoid it is to hide behind Hikaru (deep breath)
MINAMOTO AND USHI And if we don’t do something --
ALL We’ll all be beaten to a pulp!
MANIWA A monster made out of anger----
IKARI We’ve seen that plenty of times.
ALL You have?
IKARI AND MANIWA No, not really.
IKARI STAY RIGHT HERE AND HOLD ON TIGHT WE’LL GET HELP TO FIGHT THE FIGHT (they exit)
USHI WE MUST BE BRAVE TO FIGHT THIS BEAST LET GO OF ALL YOUR HATE AND FEAR THEN I'LL BET THIS THING WILL DISAPPEAR
ALL LET GO OF HATE AND FEAR THEN IT WILL DISAPPEAR
YAMIKO Ha! You think that’s going to work? You’re all afraid.
MANIWA (re-enters with YANKII) I’m back!
KASUMI This is your reinforcements?
RYOKO We thought you meant more police!
MANIWA She was all I could find.
YANKII I happen to be very strong. (YAMIKO waves the bat at her and she hides behind HIKARU)
TAIRA (enters with CHONO and IKARI) An evil spirit that looks like my daughter? Oh my!
YAMIKO You can hide behind her all you want. Sooner or later you’ll have to come out!
USHI Maybe that’s it! We need to stop hiding behind Hikaru.
TOMO That’s crazy. We’ll all die! (everyone starts talking at once)
HIKARU Ushi, they’re right. I need to protect you.
USHI NO NO, YOU’RE WRONG WE’RE YOUR FRIENDS, WE’LL GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO HELP YOU THROUGH WE CANNOT HIDE WE’LL ALL BE STRONGER AT YOUR SIDE
YAMIKO That’s ridiculous. I’ll get you all!
USHI Hikaru, when we come out from behind you, you’ll feel strong, stronger than your evil monster.
ALL WHEN YOU OWN YOUR EMOTIONS AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR SIGHT YOU KEEP YOURSELF IN BALANCE AND KNOW YOU’LL BE ALLRIGHT
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE ANGRY OR SAD OR AFRAID YOUR MONSTERS START TO WEAKEN AND BEGIN TO FADE
YAMIKO No!
HIKARU YOU CAN’T PUSH ME AROUND ANY MORE
ALL YOU CAN’T PUSH HER AROUND ANY MORE YOU CAN’T PUSH US AROUND ANY MORE IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO….
YAMIKO Noooooooooo!

ELIZA AS A CORRESPONDANT FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE AMAZING THINGS I HAVE SEEN— FROM THE SOUTH COAST OF ALASKA TO THE TROPICS OF BHUTAN, BUT IN ALL THE WORLD, I’VE FOUND NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS OF JAPAN.
NOW, I’VE COME HOME TO WASHINGTON. ONE THOUGHT IS VERY CLEAR: WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL TO BRING THOSE BLOSSOMS HERE…
FOR THERE IS A TIDAL SWAMP ALONG THE POTOMAC, AWFUL WITH SILT AND MUD AND SAND. COULDN’T IT BE A RIVER OF BLOSSOMS? THAT WOULD MAKE WASHINGTON GRAND.
LOOK AT THE SQUALID MESS ALONG THE POTOMAC. OH, WHAT A WASTE, THIS GHASTLY BLIGHT! SHOULDN’T IT BE A RIVER OF BLOSSOMS? WHAT A REMARKABLE SIGHT!
OUR CITY HAS SO STRONG AND POWERFUL A FACE, LET IT HAVE A SOFTER SIDE, DELICATE AS LACE…

OUR CITY HAS SO STRONG AND POWERFUL A FACE. LET IT HAVE A SOFTER SIDE, DELICATE AS LACE, PINK AS THE DAWN, SOFT AS A CLOUD. WITH EVERY TREE, A RIVER OF BLOSSOMS HERE BY THE CAPITOL DOME. PLANT THEM AND SEE HOW WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF OUR BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN HOME.

Group Seven, “Sailor Moon and the Guardian Senshi” Music by Jihwan Kim, lyrics by Sean Hartley
“Song of the Guardians”
LUNA Earth, 2012. Alien beings from an alternate universe wreak havoc on the citizens of Tokyo, Japan. Their goal? Total domination - first of Tokyo, then all of Japan, and finally the entire planet. But there is hope, for in Tokyo dwell five heroines capable of defending Earth against all evildoers. They are known as the Guardian Senshi, and their leader is none other than that Pretty Guardian, the defender of Love and Justice, the one, the only, Sailor Mooooon!!!!
CHORUS SHE’S CUTE, BUT LAZY. SHE ISN’T SMART AT ALL! SHE’S LATE FOR SCHOOL SO THEY STAND HER IN THE HALL. BUT WHEN THERE’S TROUBLE SHE’S THE ONE YOU CALL. SHE’S SAILOR MOON, SAILOR MOON, .
USAGI Hi! My name’s Usagi, and I’m Sailor Moon. I’m 13 years old and in my second year of middle school. People think I’m just a regular kid, but secretly, I’m a guardian of justice, and I couldn’t do it without my friends.
CHORUS DO-DO-DO-DO DO DO DO DO BUM BUM BUM! SHE’S VERY SMART SHE PASSES EVERY TEST AT TRIGONOMETRY, HER SCORE IS THE BEST. SHE STUDIES ALL THE TIME SHE NEVER TAKES A REST. SHE’S SAILOR MERCURY, SAILOR MERCURY!
AMI Hi, I’m Ami, and I’m also Sailor Mercury. Not only am I a guardian of justice, I’m also the smartest kid in Japan.
USAGI Maybe you can teach me to be a super genius too!
AMI Yeah, maybe.
CHORUS DO-DO-DO-DO DO DO DO DO BUM BUM BUM! AT THE HIKAWA SHRINE, THERE’S A GIRL WHO LIKES CROWS. HER PSYCHIC POWERS HELP HER VANQUISH HER FOES. AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE KNOWS WHEN SHE KNOWS SHE’S SAILOR MARS, SAILOR MARS!
REI Hello, my name is Rei, and I am Sailor Mars. People think I’m odd because I have psychic powers. Or maybe it’s because I hang out with birds. Either way, if you need to fight an evil demon, I’m your girl!
SAILOR MOON It’s so much fun to have a psychic for a friend.
REI I knew you were going to say that.
CHORUS DO-DO-DO-DO DO DO DO DO BUM BUM BUM DA DA DAM BA DA DAM! IN FEATS OF STRENGTH SHE’S NEVER SECOND PLACE. WHEN SHE’S AT BAT, SHE ALWAYS GETS TO BASE. IN EVERY RACE, SHE’S GONNA SET THE PACE. SHE’S SAILOR JUPITER, SAILOR JUPITER.
MAKOTA Hi. My name is Makoto, and I’m Sailor Jupiter. My strength is almost as legendary as my temper. Sailor Mercury might bring the brains but I bring the muscle.
USAGI You’re like the big sister I never had. And you’re pretty too, but not as pretty as me!
CHORUS DO-DO-DO-DO DO DO DO DO BUM BUM BUM! SHE STRUTS, SHE SINGS, SHE WANTS TO BE A STAR. SHE’S SO AMBITIOUS, YOU KNOW THAT SHE’LL GO FAR. BUT WHEN YOU NEED HER, SHE’LL BE WHERE YOU ARE. SHE’S SAILOR VENUS! CALL HER SAILOR V!
MINAKO Hi. My name is Minako, and I’m Sailor Venus. People say I’m boy-crazy, but the truth is, boys are crazy for me! My main goal is to be a teen idol, but I also have plenty of time for saving the universe.
USAGI Wait a minute. You are as pretty as me!
CHORUS DO-DO-DO-DO DO DO DO DO BUM BUM BUM!
USAGI THE GUARDIAN OF LOVE AND JUSTICE, IN THE NAME OF THE MOON …
AMI THE GUARDIAN OF WATER AND WISDOM, IN THE NAME OF MERCURY.
REI THE GUARDIAN OF FIRE AND PASSION, IN THE NAME OF MARS!
MAKOTO THE GUARDIAN OF THUNDER AND COURAGE, IN THE NAME OF JUPITER!
MINAKO THE GUARDIAN OF LOVE AND BEAUTY, IN THE NAME OF VENUS!
CHORUS & SENSHI WHATEVER THE DANGER WE’LL/THEY’LL FIGHT IT. WHATEVER THE WRONG WE’LL/THEY’LL RIGHT IT. WHENEVER THE DANGER IS NEAR, THE FIVE GUARDIAN SENSHI APPEAR! SAILOR MOON, SAILOR MOON, PRETTY GUARDIANS! OH, SAILOR MOON!
“World Domination”
BERYL SAILOR MOON AND THE GUARDIAN SENSHI! SO PRETTY, SO PEPPY. I’D LIKE TO PUSH THEM OFF A CLIFF AND WATCH THEM DIE!
NEPHRITE Actually, I think they can fly.
QUEEN BERYL Shut up. We need a new plan.
IT MUST BE PERFECT IN EVERY DETAIL. WE MUST PLAN A PLAN THAT CANNOT FAIL. THE DARK KINGDOM MUST PREVAIL! WORLD DOMINATION.
JADEITE YOUR MAJESTY, I HAVE THE VERY THING! LET’S GO TO THE HOUSEWIVES AND SELL THEM A NEW KIND OF SOAP PAD. WHENEVER THEY WASH DISHES, IT WILL SUCK OUT ALL THEIR ENERGY. AND SEND IT ALL TO US!
BERYL NOT BAD.
NEPHRITE LET’S GO TO THE BUSINESS MEN AND SELL THEM A NEW KIND OF TIE. WHENEVER THEY GET DRESSED, IT WILL SUCK OUT ALL THEIR ENERGY AND SEND IT ALL TO US!
BERYL NICE TRY.
KUNZITE WHY DON’T WE GO TO THE SUMO WRESTLERS AND SELL THEM A NEW KIND OF DIAPER? WHENEVER THEY START WRESTLING, IT WILL SUCK …
BERYL Soap pads, neckties, diapers! Your ideas are fine, but they lack a certain flair. Hmm … I have it! A fool-proof plan that will bring eternal glory to the Dark Kingdom.
OTHER 3 Tell us, Queen Beryl!
BERYL WHY DON’T WE GO TO THE STUDENTS AND TELL THEM WE’VE OPENED A NIGHT SCHOOL AND ONCE THEY’VE ALL ENROLLED, WE CAN SUCK OUT ALL THEIR ENERGY!
JADEITE THAT’S BRILLIANT!
KUNZITE IT’S PERFECT!
NEPHRITE SUPER COOL!
ALL 4 SUBJUGATE THEM, SUBLIMATE THEM, DEVASTATE THEM, DECIMATE THEM -- WORLD DOMINATION!
IRRITATE THEM, IRRIGATE THEM, LIQUIDATE THEM, LASCERATE THEM --WORLD DOMINATION!

“We Have the Power”
USAGI WE HAVE THE POWER TO BE SMART. WE HAVE THE POWER TO BE STRONG.
MOTOKI WE HAVE THE POWER TO BE DIFFERENT FROM OUR FRIENDS BUT STILL BELONG.
ALL WE HAVE THE POWER TO BE BRAVE WHEN WE’RE AFRAID, TO FORGIVE WHEN WE’RE BETRAYED, TO ADMIT WHEN WE DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO. AND THE POWER’S GETTING STRONGER LETS NOT WAIT ANY LONGER LET’S USE OUR POWERS TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO OBSERVE WE HAVE THE POWER TO ACHIEVE WE HAVE THE POWER TO BE CYNICAL AT TIMES BUT STILL BELIEVE
WE HAVE THE POWER TO HELP EACH OTHER HEAL, TO FEEL HOW OTHERS FEEL, TO GIVE UP AT TIMES AND THEN BEGIN AGAIN. AND THE POWER’S GETTING STRONGER. LETS NOT WAIT ANY LONGER LET’S USE OUR POWERS TO CHANGE THE WORLD. OUR POWERS … LUNA And so the Earth is safe for one more day. But what of tomorrow? There will always be new villains hatching new, dastardly plots. Sailor Moon and her Sailor Sisters are there to defend us, but they need your help. You two can be a Pretty Guardian!
ALL CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
Closing Song, “East Wind” Music by Gabriel Luce, lyrics by Clay Zambo
ON A WARM SUMMER EVENING WHEN THE CITY IS STILL, AND THE MOON, FULL AND PERFECT, RISES OVER THE HILL, I HEAR FLUTES IN THE DISTANCE AND THE FAINT, URGENT DRUMS. THROUGH MY HALF-OPEN WINDOW IT COMES.
EAST WIND, BRUSH THROUGH THE TREETOPS, STIR ALL THE WATERS, WHISPER YOUR SECRETS. EAST WIND, RUSH THROUGH THE TALL GRASS, SING OF ADVENTURE. SOON IS THE DAY. EAST WIND, CARRY ME AWAY.
IN MY DREAM, I AM FLOATING LIKE A RICE-PAPER FAN, AND I SOAR ON THE MEMORIES OF MY TRIP TO JAPAN, WITH THE TEMPLE-BELLS CHIMING AND THE RICH, JASMINE AIR, SO I BOW TO THE MAGIC THAT TAKES ME THERE. I SAW GRAND PAGODAS, THE SWEEPING OF SILK AND A SAMURAI’S STEEL. SO MANY STORIES, EACH ONE EXCITING AND REAL!
EAST WIND, BRUSH THROUGH THE TREETOPS, STIR ALL THE WATERS, WHISPER YOUR SECRETS. EAST WIND, RUSH THROUGH THE TALL GRASS, BRING ME ADVENTURE. SOON IS THE DAY. EAST WIND, EAST WIND, EAST WIND, CARRY ME AWAY!
