M.C.:

Ladies and gentlemen, we have invited fantastic guests to our program tonight. They are the Seven fortune gods! Please come in! (Applauding)
Would you introduce yourselves brandy please ?

Benten:

I'm the only goddess among us, so I introduce myself first according to your custom, "ladies first". I'm from India. I play the Japanese mandoline called BIWA. I'm a goddess of music, wisdom and eloquence.

Ebisu:

I'm the god for fishermen. I caught this red sea bream on the way here. I'm a symbol of sincerity.

Daikoku:

I'm the god of richness. I have many treasures in the big sack that I carry on my left shoulder. If I want more treasures, I can make them with this small magic mallet. Do you ask me why I carry such a heavy sack if I can make treasures easily with my magic mallet ? It's a matter of making a good show. Do you know the old Japanese fairy story "White rabbit in Inaba"? It was me that helped the poor white rabbit. Human beings are very greedy, so I'm the most popular god among us.

Bisyamon:

I'm the god of battles, so I always wear a suit of armor. I'm from India. I have a small pagoda in my left hand because I'm also a guardian of Buddhism. I'm a symbol of dignity.

Hotei:

I'm an ex-priest of Zen. Now I'm a god of satisfaction and happiness. I always have this big sack and this fan. Do you want to know what is in this sack ? it's a secret.

Fukurokuju:

I'm the god of popularity. I'm very old, so I need this cane with a scroll. What is written in this scroll ? I don't know. What ? Don't you see seventh god ? He is here. He is in my body. It's better to say we use this body together.

Jurojin:

Yes, I'm here. Fukurokuju and I are from China. I'm a symbol of a long life. You only remember us every New Year week. We are symbols of wealth and fortune, so respect us at all times. We promise to go your home on the treasure ship at he beginning of next year and bring you great fortune.
