Translator's notes: "Ondo" is a type of traditional folk dance.
It's referred to as "march dance," roughly translated, but it's
not really a march dance -- it's more of a typical matsuri
(festival) song accompanied by taiko drums. Also, for the
first line in Ryo-ohki's solo, it's more or less a bad translation
of the fish-catching game with metaphors. ^_^;
