Takusan no shinju ga ashi no yubi no aida ni aru kagiri, otoko wa bimbou ni naranai.

“As long as he has plenty of pearls between his feet, a man will never want for money.”

Japanese:

たくさんの真珠が足の指の間にある限り、男は貧乏にはならない。

Romanization:

Takusan no shinju ga ashi no yubi no aida ni aru kagiri, otoko wa bimbou ni naranai.

English Translation:

“As long as a man has pearls between his toes, he will never want for money.”

This is a more idiomatic translation and fixes mcdbb s slight mistranslation, where “ashi no yubi no aida” is translated as “between his feet” when it should be “between his toes.”

Also, the spoken Japanese in the Zero-sen dive scene maps onto the subtitles but the pronunciation is clearly by someone not versed in Japanese. It reminds me of when George Takei tried to speak Japanese as a guest star on Heroes–he s clearly not a fluent Japanese speaker despite being second-generation.
