Miyarabi's Prayer

"Miyarabi's Prayer" Performed by Zheng Xiuying (as Bellbella Lin) Composed by Masaru Sato Arranged by Masaru Sato Lyrics by Jun Fukuda Heard in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla Sung for King Caesar

"Miyarabi's Prayer" (ミヤラビの祈り,   Miyarabi no Inori) is a song from the film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla performed by Bellbella Lin (a pseudonym of Zheng Xiuying), with music by Masaru Sato. The lyrics were written by the film's director, Jun Fukuda. In the story, it is an integral part of the ritual to awaken the Okinawan guardian King Caesar, and must be sung by a member of the Azumi royal family. In the Hokkaido language of Ainu, "miyarabi" translates to 'woman' or 'maiden.' Thus, the title may be literally translated as "The Maiden's Prayer" or "Prayer of the Maiden."
