:04:01
Even though both sides
fought ferociously,...
:04:03
...the battle did not continue for long.
:04:06
Hurrah! Hurrah! Takaga Forest!
:04:09
Hurrah! Hurrah! Suzuka Forest!
:04:12
Whether red wins or blue wins,
both sides still lose!
:04:15
Kill the vanquished tanuki!
:04:18
Takaga forest is gone today!
:04:21
Suzuka forest will be gone tomorrow!
:04:24
Crowded tanuki have no place to stay!
:04:27
Where can tanuki go after this?
:04:30
No place to go! No place to live!
:04:33
Whether red wins or blue wins,
both sides still lose!
:04:36
Kill the vanquished tanuki!
:04:39
For the sake of everyone, kill them all!
:04:42
If we all die then who'll pray for us?
:04:44
Reduce the ranks of the tanuki!
:04:47
The surviving tanuki
should behave and raise their young.
:04:52
More tanuki means more trouble!
:04:55
There is NO more forest I tell you!
:05:01
Prodded by Fireball Oroku,...
:05:04
...the tanuki looked below
and were astounded at what they saw.
:05:08
They saw that
their mountain had vanished...
:05:12
...and the hills were gouged and flattened.
:05:15
This is an act of madness!
:05:17
This is no time
to fight amongst ourselves!
:05:23
The surrounding areas around Tokyo...
:05:27
...had gone through
massive economic growth.
:05:32
To satisfy the insatiable
demand for housing,...
:05:35
...wanton destruction
of farm lands and forests took place.
:05:40
In 1967, the government
announced the Tama New Town Project.
:05:45
Its total area covered
approximately 3,000 hectares.
:05:48
Its planned population was approximately 300,000 plus.
:05:51
Forests and mountains were leveled and
fields and historic houses destroyed.
:05:55
The giant construction sites completely
altered the Tamakyuro mountain area.
