- Hoichi (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): As long as I live, I'll continue to play the biwa. I'll play with all my soul to mourn those thousands of spirits who burn with bitter hatred.
- Minokichi's mother (segment "Yuki-Onna"): Traveling alone. I'm a bit worried about you. People are not always kind. Especially to young girls. You must be careful, not to be deceived by bad men.
- Mi nokichi (segment "Yuki-Onna"): Her eyes. That terrifying woman's eyes - made her look so incredibly beautiful - like something not of this world. She was fair- skinned, like you.
- Warrior (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): My lord desires to hear your performance. Take your biwa and come with me to our our manor at once.
- Husband (segment "Kurokami"): I'll make amends.
- First wife (segment "Kurokami"): That's all right. You traveled a long way home. That has already brought me happiness. Even if we can be together like this only for a moment.
- Husband (segment "Kurokami"): Only for a moment? Tell me we'll be together for seven lifetimes. Unless you forbid it, I'll stay with you always. Nothing will ever separate us again.
- Husband (segment "Kurokami"): I missed this room as well. We made love for the first time here. It holds the memories of so many nights. I don't want to sleep now.
- Husband (segment "Kurokami"): Your fragrant hair. It's the same as before. The same glossy black hair, those eyes, that lovely nose, those soft cheeks...
- Yuki the Snow Maiden (segment "Yuki-Onna"): How beautiful! But why red thongs?
- Mi nokichi (segment "Yuki-Onna"): You're still young.
- Yuki the Snow Maiden (segment "Yuki-Onna"): I'm a mother of three.
- Mi nokichi (segment "Yuki-Onna"): Red is still your color. Your feet look beautiful.
- Yasaku (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): You're too young to stay out all night. You find a girl somewhere?
- Hoichi (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): Of course not. There was just something I'd forgotten to do.
- Yasaku (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): [laughs] Really?
- [laughs]
- Yasaku (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): You and your girl must grope each other like this. "This is your rump, and this must be..."
- [laughs]
- Hoichi (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): [singing] Friend was mixed with foe, The straits were filled with ships, Like dead leaves carpeting the waves of a river...
- Yasaku (segment "Miminashi Hôichi no hanashi"): This time it's a full retinue of women! I can't tell who's fake and who's real.
- Author: I'll leave it to you to imagine for yourself the best ending to a story about a man who swallowed another's soul. A man who swallows a soul...
