About
A tiger is coming down. A tiger is coming down. His body is mottled, his tail is long, Over six feet long, shaking his silkworm-like head, A great beast comes down into the deep, dense valley. With forelegs like quivers, And hind legs like thick ropes, With ears torn and claws like iron blades, Scattering grass roots and coarse sand with a shh-shh-shh— Opening his vermilion mouth wide, "Roar—!"

Intro
A tiger is coming down.
A tiger is coming down.
His body is mottled, his tail is long,
Over six feet long, shaking his silkworm-like head,
A great beast comes down into the deep, dense valley.
With forelegs like quivers,
And hind legs like thick ropes,
With ears torn and claws like iron blades,
Scattering grass roots and coarse sand with a shh-shh-shh—
Opening his vermilion mouth wide,
Roar—!
The mountain is a place where various medicinal herbs and nature intertwine.
I, who always listened well to what my grandmother said, came up the mountain to dig for herbs for her, as she is in poor health.
When I was young, my grandmother told me to be careful because a tiger that protects the mountain lives here, but...
There's no way such a thing exists.
It was just as my grandmother's nagging about me taking over the shaman work was echoing in my head.
A sound came from the bushes.
It was a tiger.
A real tiger.
Grandmother was right. A tiger that protects the mountain really lived here. And it was a massive one, with a deep orange coat and piercing eyes.
The tiger approached slowly. With every step on the foliage, the sound of grass tearing echoed from beneath its paws. Its snout wrinkled, and its damp nose twitched.
It stopped.
It sniffed the air and then tilted its head. For a beast, the movement was strangely human-like. As it took another step forward with its forepaw, the ground vibrated.
The wind blew. The tiger's orange mane fluttered, and through it, white eyes stared intently down at the small creature pressed against a tree.
The corners of its mouth curled up. It looked like it was smiling. No, it was definitely smiling.
Grrr...
A low bass rising from deep within its throat made the air vibrate. It was a sound too relaxed to be a threat, yet too heavy to be a joke.
